The Danish have a world-renown design approach that is so universally recognized; virtually no explanation is required. Whether the subject is jewelry, glassware or furniture, when people speak of Danish Design we envision pieces that incorporate clean lines, solid craftsmanship and a thoughtful recognition of function. Given this, it should come as no surprise that similar elements have been drawn into the design of such humble products as clogs.
Dansko clogs originated in Denmark in a mere ten years ago. When Amanda Cabot and Peter Kjellerup, a husband and wife team of horse trainers happened upon these clogs in a small shop, they decided they had discovered the perfect barn shoe. Extraordinarily comfortable, amazingly tough, and attractive enough to wear well beyond the company of horses, these shoes were deemed winners. And others agree. Sales have jumped tenfold in just the last five years as word has spread.
Dansko clogs not only feel good, they are good for your feet too. Says who? How about the American Podiatric Medical Association, a group that knows a thing or two about feet. The APMA has awarded Dansko clogs the Seal of Acceptance for features such as:
• Anatomically contoured arch supports, rocker-bottom soles and slightly raised heels to ease strain on leg and back muscles.
• Uppers designed to approximate the natural contours of the foot for a comfortable fit.
• A high toe-box are so toes can spread naturally as you walk.
• Generous instep padding and full-length linings made of soft absorptive leather.
• Patented bottoms that combine polyurethane for shock-absorbency and PVC for stability and support.
And these shoes are tough. Dansko clogs have been unofficially field tested in thousands of barns, restaurants, schools and homes. But under more formal conditions, Industrial Health Services of Denmark performed tests to determine the durability and anti-skid properties of the outsole tread in cold, wet, greasy and acidic conditions. The results were sufficient to impress the APMA.
So they feel good, are healthy for your feet, hold up in demanding conditions, and guess what - they're even attractive. Constructed from high quality leathers and oiled for moisture resistance and pliability, the classic Dansko styles are available in a wide array of warm, rich colors. Additions to the original line now include textured finishes such as Nubuck and Rough-Out (inside out leather).
Perhaps you aspire to be like celebrities Kim Basinger, Julia Roberts, Rosie O'Donnell, Antonio Banderas and Danny Glover who have discovered the comfortable benefits of these clogs. Or maybe you're just considering a pair of comfortable shoes that will survive your demanding lifestyle and will compliment most anything in your closet. Perhaps you've always been a fan of clean, well-executed Danish design. In any case, Dansko clogs could be the answer.
