Dansko shoes, clogs, & sandals at Schuler Shoes

What began in a Danish barn has blossomed into footwear worn and beloved worldwide. In 1990, during a trip to Denmark to purchase a horse, Mandy Cabot discovered remarkably comfortable clogs that kept her moving through long days of barn work and errands. Recognizing their exceptional quality and design, she was inspired to introduce these unique shoes to the American market.

With their distinctive rocker-shaped sole and contoured footbeds, Dansko shoes have earned the American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance. This recognition confirms what loyal wearers have known for years: these shoes deliver both long-lasting comfort and meaningful support for long-term foot health.

Dansko has become the preferred footwear brand for many who spend long days on their feet, thanks to their roomy toe boxes and a slightly loose fit at the heel. They’re good shoes for teachers, providing the stability needed when constantly moving around a classroom. They’re also excellent nursing shoes, designed to help reduce fatigue during extended shifts with a sole shape that reduces impact.

To extend the life of your shoes, proper care is essential. For leather Dansko clogs and shoes, regularly wipe them clean with a damp cloth and apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent drying and cracking. This simple maintenance helps preserve the material's natural suppleness and appearance.

Yes, Dansko’s firm, supportive footbed with excellent arch support helps distribute pressure evenly across the foot, reducing strain on the plantar fascia. The rocker-shaped design of the sole also promotes proper foot motion and reduces pressure on the heel. 

Dansko shoes prioritize foot health first and foremost. They feature contoured footbeds that support your foot's natural arch, roomy toe boxes that allow for proper toe splay, and stable heel counters that promote proper alignment. The rocker bottom design encourages natural walking motion and reduces impact. Many Dansko styles have earned the American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance, indicating they promote good foot health.

Dansko shoes typically run true to size in length but are designed with a roomy toe box and a slightly loose heel fit. This design is intentional—your heel should lift slightly when walking, which is part of the comfort engineering. For closed-back styles, like Dansko boots and Mary Jane shoes, the fit is more traditional.  

Dansko offers additional width options in noted styles, as well as adjustability features in select collections (laces, buckles, backstraps, and elastic goring) that can accommodate many special fit concerns We recommend visiting a Schuler Shoes location for a professional fitting, as different Dansko styles may fit differently.

Dansko leather will generally mold to your feet over time, creating a custom-feeling fit. However, they don't stretch significantly in length or width. The leather will soften and conform to your foot shape with wear, enhancing comfort.
