Dansko

We were born in a barn.

Back in 1990, on a trip to Denmark to buy a horse, an entrepreneurial-spirited woman by the name of Mandy Cabot discovered the world’s most comfortable shoe. 

The odd-looking Danish shoe — a clog — was remarkably comfortable on her feet after hours of barn chores and errands and on-to-the-next things. So she made plans to bring that shoe to America to share the comfort, confidence, and opportunity with other spirited women like her who were headed somewhere too.

We're women-founded, women-led, and always women-celebrated.

Over the decades, Dansko came to stand for more than comfort. Today, Dansko shoes are a symbol for the kind of women wearing them. Women just like our founder who do all-the-things, dream big, and dare to get a little dirty.
