Dansko Shoes
Since 1990, Dansko has been a leader in providing
innovative comfort footwear while standing at the forefront of
sustainable and ethical business practices. Dansko is owned and
operated by their founders, husband and wife team Mandy Cabot and Peter
Kjellerup. They distribute shoes and boots to over 2,500 premium US and
international retail locations. Dansko literally translated from Danish means “Danish Shoe”.
Mandy and Peter discovered Dansko's
first product while
on a horse-buying trip to Peter’s native Denmark. After realizing that
this basic shoe would be perfect for wearing around the barn, they
brought a few pairs back to the US. Right away, friends wanted to try
the clogs and with each trip to Denmark, Mandy and Peter were bringing
back more and more pairs. Soon, they found themselves selling clogs out
of their station wagon as they drove from horse show to horse show. By
1993.
