Dansko started in 1990 after founders Peter and Mandy discovered their perfect barn shoe in Denmark. They got so excited about it and told their friends. Their friends told their friends and they all wanted more. The rest was history.
But it was no mere history. It was a history filled with fireworks. Two years after starting they got a Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Assocation. APMA was a 98-yearl old American organization based in Maryland. It provided information about foot and ankle health to the majority of 15,000 podiatrists scattered all over the USA and its territories.
In 1999, Inc Magazine recognized Dansko among Americas fastest growing privately held companies. It was also during this year when Julia Roberts and popular Holllywood celebrities became fans of Dansko shoes.
These recognitions have been a testimony to what Dansko represents. Its shoes are made of finest materials. Its construction methods are state of the art. Most importantly, Dansko gives ample focus on maximizing support to your feet, legs and back while you walk or stand for long hours during the day.
The shoes are designed to follow the natural contours of the foot. They provide maximum comfort to the feet and protection to the toes and heels. They allow maximum flexibility to the feet in motion while ensuring stability of the shoe. They also propel the feet forward when walking.
