Dansko shoes are highly regarded as an excellent choice for people who are on their feet a lot throughout the day. Medical professionals, teachers and chefs are some of the top consumers of Dansko shoes and clogs. There are many reasons why Dansko shoes are comfortable. They have a wide toe box. This provides plenty of room for your toes and feet, allowing for ample circulation. Their signature rocker bottom reduces stress on the legs and back. The foot bed is designed with an anatomically contoured foot bed, and the construction supports all areas of the foot, including the toe, heal and the arch. The shoes are also designed to absorb shock and reduce strain throughout the body.

If you are interested in purchasing a pair of Dansko shoes, it helps to know what materials they are made from, as each choice wears differently, and is best used in a particular environment. If you choose a leather shoe, there are a variety of treatments available that affect the way that the shoes wear.

• Box leather - Box leather is an extremely durable treatment. It holds up well when exposed to water, grease and even acid. This makes box leather the ideal choice for chefs and others working in a commercial environment.
• Calf leather - Calf leather is a soft and smooth type of leather that is more formal than box leather. It is perfect as an everyday shoe.
• Cabrio leather - Cabrio leather has a black topcoat finish, and is very glossy. It is often used for a formal dress shoe.
• Conquest leather - Conquest leather is water resistant. It has a low sheen and makes a good casual shoe.
• Full grain leather - Full grain leather is smooth, strong and water resistant.
• Latigo leather - Latigo leather makes a good everyday shoe; it is smooth and has a semi glossy finish.
• Nubuck leather - Nubuck leather is soft and has a silky feel. It will not hold up to heavy wear, but makes an excellent choice for sandals because it is so soft and flexible.
• Suede - Shoes made from suede have a soft nap.
• Veg-tan leather - Dansko’s veg-tan line is made of leather that has a buttery, almost glove like feel to it.
• Tumbled leather - This leather has a soft texture to it, and it is water resistant. It is also durable and perfect for a commercial setting.
• Pull-up leather - Pull-up leather is probably one of the best choices for the commercial environment. Scratches can be rubbed out by drawing the oils to the damaged area. This sounds more complicated than it is. A light buffing with the fingers is normally all that it takes to draw up the oils.
• Oiled leather - Oiled leather is an excellent choice for those that work or play outside. The heavy leather surface is oiled, creating strong and water resistant leather.
• Felt - Dansko shoes that are made of felt provide a comfortable and casual shoe. They are not made to withstand wet or muddy weather.
• Linen - Dansko’s linen shoes are dressy and made for comfort on days when you need a lightweight and more formal shoe.
• Denim - Denim fabric makes a nice casual shoe, but again, these shoes are not made for the heavy use that many of the leather shoes made by Dansko can tolerate.
