Dansko clogs first arrived here from Denmark in the 1980’s. Husband and wife Peter Kjellerup and Mandy Cabot fell in love with the unique closed back clog when they were in Denmark and started bringing them back for their friends and family. They soon started selling them here in this country. In 1991, they bought the exclusive rights to these shoes and started their business, Dansko, Inc. in 1991. Dansko clogs are currently on sale in over 3,500 retailers, around the globe.

What makes Dansko clogs unique? At the beginning, Dansko clogs were quite heavy and made primarily wood. However, there are now many different styles of Dansko shoes, but many styles still have a wooden sole. What makes Dansko clogs so popular is their incredible comfort. As a testament to this comfort, many Dansko styles have been approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. They have a rocker bottom sole combined with a raised heel, which helps to take the strain off your back and legs. When you combine this comfort with style, you have a wonderfully perfect shoe. The female line of Dansko, currently features shoes, heels and sandals, in addition to their staple clogs — available in over twenty different fashionable styles. The male line features shoes and boots in addition to clogs.
