As a medical professional, I often hear patients raving about their Dansko clogs. These shoes have garnered a loyal following among various groups—moms, restaurant workers, healthcare professionals, and even celebrities like Tina Fey and Jennifer Garner.
Comfort Level
Are they comfortable? Absolutely. The first time I slipped on a pair, I felt as if I had stepped into a world of cushioned bliss. They have a unique way of making your posture feel better, lending a sense of height and elegance.
Price Point
But let’s talk about price. Danskos typically retail around $120, which is a significant investment for footwear. Back in my days of financial freedom, I indulged in multiple pairs, and I’ve even scored some thrift store gems, including a pair of patent leather Professionals for just $7.99. They are incredibly durable, lasting for years if cared for properly—just keep them away from fire and curious puppies.
Style Factor
Now, are they stylish? Not quite. My friend Alex jokingly refers to them as “those clunky shoes.” They evoke the image of traditional wooden clogs rather than sleek, sexy footwear. These shoes are more about practicality and function than fashion.
Think of Danskos as the reliable station wagon of shoes: a bit boxy, but sturdy and well-made. Their loyal wearers tend to be sensible individuals who prioritize quality over trendiness. Plus, both Dansko and Volvo share that lovely letter O at the end of their names.
The Dansko Roll
However, here’s a little-known fact: Danskos can betray you. I have my own horror story from a few years back that I can’t resist sharing. While walking out to speak with my then-husband, I took a tumble due to what I now call “The Dansko Roll.” I tripped on the second step, landed hard, and ended up with a swollen ankle that resembled a zombie’s limb. But guess what? I had a date that night! I squeezed my foot into stylish boots and limped my way through the evening, trying to hide my pain, which made for quite an amusing date night.
Despite near misses and my friend Jenna breaking her ankle while wearing Danskos, we still keep coming back for more. Just last weekend, during a cleaning frenzy, I slipped again, landing at the bottom of the steps. After icing my foot with a bag of frozen peas, I convinced myself it wasn’t too bad. But as the day progressed, I knew I had done some real damage.
The following morning, my friend Sarah insisted I see a doctor. After a series of x-rays and a thorough examination, I left the clinic with my foot in a supportive boot. I shared my misadventures with a colleague, who couldn’t help but ask if I would ever wear Danskos again. My response was an enthusiastic “yes!” as I hobbled away, with her laughter echoing behind me.
Final Thoughts
Hobble me once, shame on you, Dansko. Hobble me twice? Well, that’s on me. At least I’ll be comfortable until the next mishap.
