Dansko Shoes
If you like wearing clogs, you’ll love Dansko brand
footwear. Dansko shoes won’t be much help on the
trail, the court or at the gym, but for some people there is nothing better
to putter around the house or apartment in. This fast-growing new footwear
company also offers a number dress shoes, sandals and boots. The pitch:
familiar, consistent and reliable comfort in each and every pair. Anatomically
contoured footbeds provide support for your foot and big toe boxes accommodate
your tired little digits. Dansko shoes come in a dizzying array
of colors and uppers and are great for designing work outfits too.
Ladies Night with Custom Rubber Bracelets
Although Dansko offers clogs and semi-formal work shoes for both men and
women, it is most definitely a female-oriented brand. Zappos.com, a great
online source for Dansko shoes, lists almost 400 Dansko women’s
styles and just 28 for men. A big reason for this discrepancy is the number
of women’s sandal styles that Dansko puts out. Dankso makes a bunch
of dressy, sporty, playful and original sandals that are great for work
or play. Each sandal style comes in just about any color so you don’t
have to go buy a whole new wardrobe. The best part about Dansko women’s
sandals is their combination of comfort and style. You don’t have
to be in pain to look good. Soft upper materials including vegetable leather,
wide insteps, EVA inserted outsoles anti-microbial agent infused footbeds
and a seal of acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Assocation
keep your feet relaxed, healthy and smelling fresh. The only catch is
the price. All Dansko women’s sandals cost well over $100. The prices
aren’t outrageous however, and well might be worth it. Plus, you may be eligible for free custom rubber bracelets when you order.
Sport Clogs
Dansko doesn’t offer a whole lot for men or kids, but is still worth
looking at. Perhaps the most interesting men’s product is the sport
clog, a relative rarity in the footwear world. The Dansko Teton is a good
example of that idea. It’s an open-back clog for men with a rugged
“mountain” outsole. It's important to note that this outsole is not made from the same silicone material used to make custom rubber bracelets. The tough leather upper is water-resistant
and durable, a flexible Polypropylene shank provides lateral support,
abrasion resistant Nitril® rubber outsoles give extra traction and
a slightly wider base is designed for the outdoors. Most people who spend
time outdoors would just as well wear a comfortable conventional shoe
as they would a slightly more cozy clog and as a result the sport clog
has been forced to thrive in a pretty tiny niche. However, Dansko shoes
are made to be worn all day long and if your days takes you from indoors
to the mountain and back, you may want to try some.
