This is sponsored content. I was provided with a pair of Dansko sandals of my choice and in return for my honest post - I can give one of you a pair of sandals as well. I LOVE Danskos and think and believe every single word of this post. I was not paid in any way - other than a pair of shoes which I will wear every single day it's above 60 degrees.
I first discovered Dansko shoes several years ago, when I was standing on
my feet all day, working in the cafeteria. At the end of the day, my
legs and feet ached terribly, and a coworker recommended that I try
Dansko. The first day I wore them, I was hooked. Why? Because, quite simply, they are the best shoes around. From the website:
- Improved lateral stability & more secure heel strike (reduced risk of ankle rolling)
- Better shock absorption (comparable to athletic footwear)
- Softer and more pronounced heel cavity
- Improved aesthetics. Visually, other clogs may appear similar but to ensure an even better wearing experience, the new Dansko is wider across the heel and has a more stable heel kicker.
Now, almost every pair of shoes I wear is a Dansko. I have a couple of
pair of clogs, one pair of lace up clogs, and I own several pair of
sandals. Of course, I do own other shoes, but if I have to be on my feet
for any length of time, I reach for the Dansko shoes. I know that when I
wear them, my feet and legs will not take at the end of the day, and
that's worth an awful lot to me. The older I get <sigh>, the more I know that I need a supportive shoe and I don't want to wear some ugly orthopedic things - the Danskos bridge the gap of comport, support and style.
If you are in need of a pair of great shoes and wonder about the Danskos, check out this video. From
clogs to flats, from sandals to flip-flops, they've got almost every
need covered. You can buy a pair, wear them around, and at the end of
the day, you'll know you looked good and your legs and feet won't be
screaming in agony.

and tell me what you would pick. Which pair would be your favorite, and
where would you wear them? One lucky winner will be drawn at random from

I love the Jenelle! I'd have a hard time choosing between the black and the red.... *fingers crossed!* I'm a teacher, and I've noticed that the older I get (ahem!), the more I need the support of a great shoe. I'd love to win these!

I love ALL of them, but I'd pick the second pair down. Or the blue ones with the back strap. Or the first pair down. Or, um, a bank robbery and then all of them.
OK, if I can only choose one, I'm going with the blue ones. I could wear them to work with several of my dresses. I think I could easily find something to wear them with 2-3 times a week.
My co-worker has Dankos and also loves them. I have to admit I don't own any because the price tag is a little scary, but they're on my wish list.

The blue shiny slides are amazing! I love having my heels uncovered but get tired of having flip-flops with the thingie between my toes. Those would be perfect! And Danskos are super comfy.

Ooohhhh I want the orange sandal ones. I am a huge fan. I own two of the clogs and one pair of sandals already.
Posted by: Issa | April 01, 2013 at 10:49 AM
The Janie in blue or brown would definitely be my choice. I've always wanted a pair of Danskos, but as a grad student they are out of my price range. A professor at university swears by them - says they're the only shoes she can wear, and recently I had a foot injury, so I need to be investing in better shoes. These would be perfect, because I need to get some sandals for the warmer weather coming up that look nice, but also take care of my feet. Fingers are crossed to be lucky to win them!

I like the Janelle red patent. I am also getting to that "age" when I need good shoes, but I am so cheap I don't want to spend $100 on ONE pair of shoes! I'm conflicted. Do they last a long long time?

I LOVE the two sandals in the orangey/coral color. Very cute and I would love to try out a show I have heard such great things about!
Posted by: Angie | April 01, 2013 at 11:42 AM
I like the Janie in the metallic pewter-would go with just about everything. I tend to buy only black sandals and am kinda sick of them . .
Posted by: Jules | April 01, 2013 at 11:48 AM
Wow, that is surprisingly hard, there are four that I really like, the Janie, the Sophie, the Donna and the Nigella. I have a very high bridge on my feet however and I have found that many sandals do not fit well, so I would try the Sophie first because they are adjustable, I would have to try on the others in person just in case...
I would want any or all of them in black, black goes with everything, everything I own at least!
Now, I live in my sandals, winter, summer, it does not matter, so I would wear them everywhere if they are as comfortable as you say. I have some major back issues, so finding comfortable shoes are a must!
Thank you for sharing these with us, even if I don't win I am going to have to check these out, though for those prices I will be checking them out for a while before I save up enough to buy them...

My favorite is the second one from the top. I have some foot issues and this one looks like it would manage all of them and looks cute, too!
Posted by: Elizabeth | April 01, 2013 at 12:06 PM
Blue slide with the buttons. Would wear them this summer when it isn't raining!
Posted by: Karenp | April 01, 2013 at 12:34 PM
I love the Jenelle in brown. They would be my go to shoe for the summer, hands down.
I just spent 4 days walking the sites in Washington, DC with my son's 8th grade class and wore my Dansko clogs every day...love them!
Posted by: Lisa | April 01, 2013 at 02:08 PM
All of them! I have foot issues and I couldn't narrow down my choice! Love them all!
Posted by: lisa | April 01, 2013 at 02:40 PM
I like the Tillly in Crimson. I've been in the market for a pair of Dansko sandals, and to not have to spend the $$ on them would be fabulous. I have a pair of regular dansko closed back clogs in brown, black and blue. I also have a pair of the pippa's that I thought I wasn't going to enjoy, but I like them a lot.
Posted by: Tonya | April 01, 2013 at 04:24 PM
Ooh, the Jenelle are quite pretty!
Posted by: Brandy | April 01, 2013 at 04:59 PM
I really like the Sophie in Sand Dollar. I've heard these are so comfy. Would love to try them out!
Posted by: Cheri | April 01, 2013 at 05:18 PM
I love any of the sandals with a back strap! Bad knees + plantar fascitis = not yet 40 but heading down the comfy shoe route...
Posted by: Michelle | April 01, 2013 at 06:50 PM
I would love to try the Jenelle.
Posted by: LisaK | April 01, 2013 at 09:38 PM
In the winter I would totally do the Nadine with all manner of winter clothing for work. In the summer I will take the Jovie in red and blue. The possibilities are endless - picnics, walks in the sun, meet ta friend for coffee al fresco. Love...............

I love Danskos! I am a preschool para in an elementary school so I am on my feet all day! My first Dansko clogs were purchased shortly after I started and now that just about is all I wear during the school year. I have yet to try and Dansko sandals but would love to add the Jenelle into my rotation once the weather cooperated here in NH!
Posted by: Jen M | April 02, 2013 at 06:35 AM
My feet love Danskos!! I would love a pair of red Jenelle Danskos.
Posted by: Judy Patterson | April 02, 2013 at 06:55 AM
The pewter Jovies are the ones I would like most. I'd wear them EVERYWHERE, but especially in Montreal when we go this summer. I'll need good looks to match function!
Posted by: Lynn Jacobs | April 02, 2013 at 07:14 AM
I would so go with the red flip-flops! When I was small, all I wanted for my birthday was red shoes...every year I would ask for them, but alas, they did not make red shoes for kids at that time. Love flip-flops too!!
Posted by: Becki | April 02, 2013 at 07:47 AM
I like the blue ones with the back strap and the black ones on top.
Posted by: jackie french | April 02, 2013 at 07:58 AM
I think I would pick the blue Janie. Its hard to find blue sandals. knowing me in shoes I would wear them everyday until they wore out.
Posted by: Stacey Bossio | April 02, 2013 at 08:49 AM
Like most everyone else I would love the Jenelle. They are a classic flip flop but look classy. I love wearing flip flops and this is a pair I could even wear to work without them looking too casual.
Posted by: Cora Opsahl | April 02, 2013 at 10:43 AM
I like the Jess in bronze (8th one down). I would wear them most everywhere. I love a sandal that is durable and looks good.
Posted by: Maggie | April 02, 2013 at 11:52 AM
I like the Jovie Coffee Swirl sandals! I'd wear them everywhere. I think these would work for errands, church, dinner out...They're cute!
Posted by: Carrotrunr | April 02, 2013 at 08:51 PM
I love the jute mules. Spunky!
Posted by: girlsmama | April 03, 2013 at 12:46 AM
I'd wear anything that came in a wide & goes well with tequila! hahahaha
Have you seen my sandals, that I wear everyday, everywhere?
Macklemore wouldn't even pay $0.99!
Posted by: KG | April 03, 2013 at 01:27 PM
I like the Janie Blue Patent sandals. And I'd wear them EVERYWHERE.
Posted by: Beth a. | April 03, 2013 at 03:00 PM
the black mules for my mom!
Posted by: beth | April 03, 2013 at 05:54 PM
I love them all and have always wanted to try Danskos...if I had to choose I think I'd go with the fifth pair from the top.
Posted by: Kimberly P | April 05, 2013 at 06:12 PM
I love the Janie in Bronze Metallic. They'd be perfect to wear at BlogHer this year. (Or the beach, or just to the grocery.)
Dansko is the shoe of choice for most nurses I know - when I worked in the hospital, I loved my comfy white Dansko clogs!
Posted by: Christina | April 06, 2013 at 09:30 PM
8th pair down and wear them everywhere!!
