Dansko - For Mommy, For Me.


I started wearing Danskos about a year ago, while I was pregnant with my son.  I was told by numerous people (including my doctor), that Danskos were amazing for people who need a little extra back support.  Always listening to the advice of professionals, I got myself a pair.

Now, I feel like I see Danskos every where I look.  For people who live on their feet (like busy mom's), Danskos are the perfect match for comfort and style.

My first pair of Danskos was the Marcelle, (you can read my review here).  I've since also bought myself a pair of Professionals, of course in sassy black patent leather.

Want really great news?  Dansko is relaunching their line of children's clogs!  Of course, just like their grownup counterparts, these children's clogs have gotten a lot of attention and are specifically designed for growing feet. (not to mention they are drop dead adorable).
My daughter and I were given the opportunity to each test out a pair from their new Fall collection (which is in stores now, just in time for back to school shopping).  I chose the Portia (pictured above), and she chose the Jada.

I love mine because they are of course comfortable, but also have a really fun crisscross strap design, which I think will look great with my casual fall wardrobe.  I also love her pick of the Jada, because they will go with absolutely everything!  And honestly, how could a little girl go wrong wearing black patent leather clogs, adorned with bright pink stitching! Right?

GET YOUR OWN!  Visit Dansko to find a store near you!  We're in love with their fall collection, and we know you will love it too.

WIN YOUR OWN!  We have an absolutely amazing giveaway for you!  Dansko wants to provide one lucky Simple reader 2 pairs (1 adult, and 1 kids) of shoes from their new collection!  To enter, simply visit Dansko, look around, and come back here to leave us a comment on what pairs you would pick!

  123. Oh, man, I MUST win this contest. I already own (pausing to do the math) 5 pairs of Danskos and I LOVE LOVE them. I wear my professional clogs the most (I have red suede). If I were to win, I'd probably choose the same ones you chose, or another pair of clogs (in oiled brown leather). For my daughter? First of all, WHICH daughter? I'd choose the Gitte- the basic clog- probably in bright pink.
