Dansko (which is translated as Danish shoe) is one of our customers’ favorite brands. Not only do the shoes look great and come in a wide variety of styles and patterns, but they are known for their “all-day comfort.”

Many Dansko fans work in professions that require long hours on their feet such as chefs, waiters, hair stylists, doctors, nurses, teachers and salespeople. In fact, Dansko currently has 8 collections that carry the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. Dansko is best known for their classic rocker-bottom stapled clog, but they now offer heels, boots, flats and sneakers.

Like many of the brands we choose to carry, Dansko is committed to leaving the world a better place than they found it by protecting the community, promoting philanthropy and minimizing their negative impact on the environment. For example:

• Their Pennsylvania headquarters is one of the most eco-conscious buildings in the country and is Gold LEED certified;
• They pay their employees to volunteer up to 16 hours per year;
• They recycle 86% of their waste;
• They actively support organizations such as Special Olympics, Haitian Relief, Ronald McDonald House, The Land Conservancy… and many more!
