Dansko is a popular brand among nurses, flight attendants, teachers and other individuals who spend large chunks of their workdays on their feet.
The reason for its popularity lies in the all-day comfort, mixed with the strength of a leather shoe and the elevation of heels without the associated leg fatigue or pain that comes with wearing them for extended periods. Danskos are also extremely stylish and the brand certainly deserves all the love and adoration it gets.
However, like everything in life, Danskos have their own problems. One such problem is that they are sometimes just too expensive (usually costing over $120 at most retailers).
