Dansko Boots: A Review of Boots by Dansko
Custom Search
Dansko boots are made by the Dansko shoe company - a shoe manufacturer known for their unique sole construction and comfortable shoes designed for long-term, everyday wear.
They're a popular brand with working professionals who spend long periods of time on their feet. But, do their boots measure up? Are they as comfortable as their shoes? For a full review keep reading.
Prices of Dansko's
Dansko boots typically range in price from $170 to $220, depending on the style and the retailer. Their price is in line with the cost of Dansko shoes and comparable to similar boots by competing manufacturers.
Comfort and Fit
For Dansko fans who love the company's wide-fitting shoes, they may be sorely disappointed by their boots. Despite the fact that many Dansko-lovers have wider frames and opt for the supportive Dansko shoes to make long periods on their feet more comfortable, the boots are clearly made for a narrow foot and a slim calf.
The fit in the foot on most boots by Dansko is quite narrow. Meanwhile, the calves are very slim, making these boots uncomfortable and often unwearable for women with larger calves. So, while they may be comfortable for smaller women, you should definitely try them on before you buy.
Quality of the Boots
Like most Dansko products, their boots are made well. Using high-quality leather exterior and soft leather interior, the boots are designed with quality in mind. You can expect these boots to last for several years, making them a great investment.
That said, if you're planning to splash in puddles or trekking through snow storms, you'll want to waterproof these boots. They don't come with a waterproof guarantee and the seams are prone to leaking. Before you wear them, make sure you treat them with mink oil or a waterproof spray.
Style and Design
Surprisingly, most of the boots by Dansko are actually quite dainty and very stylish. Unlike their clunky and sluggish, thick-soled shoes, their boots are light, functional and cool. They're definitely the most fashion-forward product coming from this clog-focused company.
However, if you're a fan of the trademark, chunky Dansko style, you may be disappointed. Their heels come in light kitten heels and demure lifts and actually don't really resemble other Dansko shoes. For me? That's a great thing. For other fans of the brand and their style? It's a drawback.
Conclusion
If you have a narrow foot and a slim calf, then Dansko boots are a great buy. They're durable, stylish and extremely comfortable. However, these boots aren't for everyone, so try before you buy.
