About Us

Dansko has spent more than 30 years building footwear around a simple idea: shoes should feel as good as they look. The story began in 1990, when founder Mandy Cabot discovered a comfortable Danish clog during a trip to Denmark and brought the concept back to America. That distinctive clog became the foundation for a footwear company known for comfort, support and purposeful design.

Today, Dansko offers much more than its signature clogs. The collection includes women’s and men’s footwear across clogs, boots, booties, sandals, flats, Mary Janes, mules, loafers, sneakers, heels and other versatile styles. Whether you spend long hours on your feet, need dependable footwear for work, or simply want comfortable shoes for everyday life, Dansko combines practical construction with a distinctive sense of style.

Comfort remains central to the Dansko approach. Many styles feature contoured footbeds, roomy toe boxes, supportive construction and rocker bottoms, while selected work-focused footwear offers slip-resistant designs. Dansko also carries footwear recognized with the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance.

Dansko is also a 100% employee-owned company, reflecting a long-term commitment to its people, responsible sourcing and thoughtful business practices. For shoppers looking for footwear that can move comfortably from professional environments to weekends and everyday routines, Dansko offers a broad selection built around support, durability and individuality.
