- Patented outsoles combine a variety of materials for shock absorbency, skid resistance, stability and support, protecting feet, legs and back from concussion and fatigue.
- High toe box and generous forefoot width promote maximum comfort and blood circulation.
- Anatomically contoured arch support, rocker bottom soles, and slightly raised heels ease leg and back muscles during long hours of standing or walking.
- Upper designs approximate the natural contours of the foot for comfortable fitting and are made of the highest quality leathers in a wide variety of colors and tannages.
- Full-length socklinings are made of nonallergenic, vegetable-tanned leather, proven most effective for the absorption and evaporation of foot perspiration.
- Box Leather: Ideal for hospital & restaurant use, box leather has a smooth, clean finish with natural irregularities removed. It's also referred to as "finished" or "corrected" leather. It is the easiest leather to maintain and can be wiped clean with soap and water.
- Oiled Leather: Heavily oiled, matte-finish leather with high pliability and moisture resistance. It is often referred to as "distressed leather" because naturally occurring blemishes are often visible below the surface, making it suitable for rugged outdoor wear. It has a pronounced pull-up, which allows surface scuffs to be easily worked out with the fingers while stubborn dirt can be removed with Dansko’s Oiled Leather Restorer. (If weatherproofing is desired, we recommend using Dansko’s Beeswax Conditioner with lanolin.)
The popular Dansko Professional Clogs combine the strength and quality of European footwear with lightweight flexibility and support. Breathable full-grain leather uppers are oiled for water-resistance and durability; leather-lined, padded collars add comfort across instep. Oiled leather may occasionally appear to have light scuffs—rub lightly with fingertips to smooth out scuffs. Leather uppers are securely stapled to the outsole units for durability. Protective polyethylene heel counters offer lateral stability and act as natural shoe horns, letting heels move up and down while walking. Sturdy thermoplastic polyurethane toe boxes protect feet from bumps and enhance durability without compromising free toe movement. Non-allergenic, vegetable-tanned leather sockliners wrapped around Poliyou® synthetic foam footbeds manage moisture. Poliyou footbeds consist of a breathable, recycled EVA foam for cushioning with antimicrobial treatment to control odors. Polypropylene inner midsole supports allow heel-to-toe flexibility and side-to-side stability, reducing torque and overpronation. Molded polyurethane outsole/midsole units offer full flexibility, dependable shock absorption and non-slip traction. Rocker-bottom outsoles propel feet forward for easier walking; slip-resistant outsole design carries SATRA approval.
