What is the APMA Seal of Acceptance?
We are proud to carry the American Podiatric Medical Associations (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. The APMA awards the Seal after rigorously evaluating a product to determine if it promotes quality foot health. Dansko's Stapled Clog, Sausalito, Capri, Belmont and Acadia Collections all have received the APMA Seal of Acceptance. Retired collections with the APMA Seal of Acceptance include Beacon Hill, Left Bank, Next Gen, Louvre, and Golden Gate.
Can I use my custom orthotics?
Footbeds in closed-back Acadia, Brandywine, Stockbridge and Telluride Collection shoes feature removable footbeds that may accommodate custom orthotics. Due to the custom nature of orthotics, we recommend trying the shoes on with the orthotics to ensure a good fit. Retired collections with removable footbeds include Charlestown, Chatham, Cambridge, Notting Hill, Golden Gate and Next Gen.
- Are Dansko shoes slip resistant?
Dansko Stapled Clogs and Acadia collections meet both ASTM and SATRA standards for slip-resistance. For specific details visit the Product Certification page. Retired collections that meet slip-resistant requirements include Next Gen.
- Do you offer non-leather shoes?
Dansko introduced the Vegan Pro line in summer 2010. These 100% animal-free shoes are made entirely of man-made materials yet share the same exact construction and frame as the original Stapled Clog.
What’s the difference between Dansko clogs and other clog brands?
Dansko has been a leader in comfort footwear since we first introduced “Danish” clogs to America nearly 20 years ago! You can recognize a Dansko clog by its iconic shape, clean construction and the use of the highest quality materials from the cushioned insole to the durable outsole. In January 2008, Dansko introduced state-of-the-art footwear innovations to our classic rocker bottom to enhance the comfort, stability and performance of our clogs. Visually other clogs may try to appear similar, but only genuine Dansko clogs provide:
- A wider heel for improved lateral stability & more secure heel strike
- Athletic footwear quality shock absorption
- Softer and more pronounced heel cavity for additional comfort and support
- Only footwear that has the “Dansko” name on it is made by Dansko. If it doesn’t say “Dansko,” it’s not Dansko.
- Where are Dansko clogs made?
Dansko clogs are made in Italy, China and Brazil. Look on the inside of the shoe to see where it was manufactured. To ensure that Dansko provides a superior product, we select and work closely with only the very best manufacturers. We select our sourcing partners based on their proximity and access to raw materials, as well as for their expertise in handling these materials.
We are in the business of selling shoes, but not at the expense of future generations. We have a history of ethical business practices and being responsible in where we manufacture. Dansko is always driven to do whatever we can to provide the best products and service possible to our very loyal retail partners and consumers.
