If you are like me, you are careful with how you spend your money. You find it hard to splurge, you rarely buy anything for yourself, and you keep a tight budget for your family. You do this so you can take fun family vacations and enjoy the important things…
But Mother’s Day is coming up, and you deserve to be pampered.
You work hard everyday for your family. You give them everything. So, why not let someone spoil you for Mother’s Day and get you a pair of shoes that are worth spending a little extra on?
Dansko shoes are just the ticket! They are high quality, comfortable shoes that are perfect for moms. They are great for the mom who is always on her feet. It’s no-doubt you will enjoy the gift of these shoes. Plus, the giver will be thrilled to gift them to you.
I have been wearing Dansko shoes for about 7 years. I bought my first pair in college, when a co-worker recommended them to me for my on-my-feet position as a waitress. By the time I left that job, nearly half of the serving staff had Dansko shoes!
I went from one active job to another, as I am now a flight attendant. Since I absolutely loved them when I waited tables, I got them for my traveling job too. These shoes are a popular option for nurses, restaurant staff and other professionals who are on their feet all day.
Dansko clogs have been my go-to comfortable shoe for nearly a decade and have yet to fail me!
Why Dansko Doesn’t Disappoint:
Complete Comfort – Why do you think these shoes are #1 for nurses, waitresses, flight attendants and more? All those occupations spend most of their time on their feet. They need to be comfortable throughout the long days.
Durable – My Dansko clogs are strong and sturdy. I trust this brand to make high quality shoes out of the best materials. I can only say this because my shoes outlasted multiple sneakers, flats and everyday shoes.
Fabulous Fit – Dansko goes by European sizes, which of course correlates to your US size. They have a wide range of shoe sizes, including wide and narrow shoes!
Styles Options – In the past few years, Dansko has become increasingly popular. Of course this is no wonder to me, an avid Dansko fan. They went from just a few basics, to now many new colors, styles and forms! Lots of selection!
Customer Satisfaction – Dansko is one of the companies who care whether or not their buyers are satisfied. They have a complete satisfaction guarantee, or your money back policy. They stand by it too. When a company is willing to work with the consumer, that is a company I like to support.
As you can see, I am a huge fan of Dansko for many reasons.
So when Dansko asked if I would be interested in reviewing one of their newest styles, I pretty much couldn’t be more thrilled! This was a shoe company that I already loved, that made shoes I already wore!
I received the Volley Black Coated Canvas Sanibel Collection. They came wrapped in tissue and in a heavy-duty shoe box. They were stuffed with cardboard and tissue to maintain the shape. When I took them out of the box, I was excited to see that they were similar to the clog style that I love!These shoes have many great features.
Of course the grip on the bottom is key. I am running through airports, walking around in messy aircraft galleys, and up and down the aisle. So the textured little star shapes on the sole of the shoes keep me safe from slipping! (Moms, you know what I mean, spilled orange juice, spaghetti sauce, or crayons!)
The rubber slip-resistant bottom sole, is just the beginning. The look on the outside of the shoe is clean, crisp and classy. I received the black coated canvas fabric, but these shoes are also available in canvas fabric, box leather, and leather leather. As for the black coated canvas, they are very pleasing to the eye. They have a light shine to them and can withstand stretches and scuffs. The tip of the toe has an extra rubber portion that keeps your toes safe if you run into something or drop something. The stitching is thick and well-sewn. There are a few fabric pieces that combine to make the top portion of the shoe. Each is stitched together and forms a smooth, attractive-looking shoe.
Of course there is a lot more to a good shoe that just the outside appearance. The comfort is why I love the shoes first and foremost, and always have! The inside of the shoe fits snug and gives exceptional support. I got them in a size 38. I am typically a size 7.5-8, and this is the European size that fits me perfectly! (I highly recommend trying them on in person for sizing before purchasing online!) Since they are in EU sizes they can be a bit confusing, plus you should check and see is wide or narrow fit you better.
This Sanibel style in particular is lighter than the shoes I have had in the past. This is a MAJOR benefit when it comes to carrying them with me in my flight bag! The inside is anatomically correct and fits the shape of my foot from heel to toe. There is a small cushion on the inside bottom and on the top lip for comfort.
I have been wearing these shoes to work (sometimes 14 hour days!) and for everyday purposes for about 3 weeks. I’ve gotta say, once again Dansko shoes stood up to the test by delivering great shoes, just as amazing as the pairs I’ve owned in the past. And if these Dansko shoes are like the ones I have had in the past, they will last me about 3-5 years with pretty heavy use!
I am happy that I first tried this brand when I trusted a friend’s input. I spent more money than I ever had on shoes before, but boy were they worth the investment! Everyday I was thankful that I had them. I can’t even tell you how worth it they are! I hope these shoes stand the test of time as well.
Like I said before, any one of the Dansko styles make an excellent gift for Mother’s Day. (Moms, you are on your feet just as much as anyone, if not more. This is the ultimate reasons these shoes would benefit you. There is no reason you should be uncomfortable as you chase the children, clean the house or run errands). They have cute heeled shoes, sneaker styles, sandals and boots! They are both a practical and thoughtful gift. I promise, as far as Dansko goes, it worth is to spends $100 on a pair of shoes.
Overall, if I haven’t expressed it already, I am pretty head over HEELS in love with Dansko! Once again, after reviewing some of the shoes from their newest line, I am still overly impressed. Way to go, Dansko! I would recommend Dansko to anybody!!
