Dansko Professional Stands Above the Rest
Next time that you’re in a doctor’s office, hospital, or restaurant kitchen take a look down at the feet of the nurses, doctors, chefs and line workers working around you. You are sure to notice that a common theme among many of these workers is the Dansko Professional clog. Many people in the medical and restaurant industries have come to rely on the ever-popular and supportive Dansko Professional for all-day wear. If you are curious what makes the Dansko Professional so popular among professionals of all sorts then please read on!
Hard floors are brutal on feet. People who do a lot of standing have found that there is nothing better than the Dansko Rocker Bottom. The premise is quite simple. Think of a rocking horse and take a look at the design of the bottom of the Professional Clog. The rounded shape allows the wearer to easily shift weight from the front to back and vice-versa. This simple idea creates a situation where you are never allowing pressure build up on a particular spot on the feet or knees, as the wearer will subconsciously shift weight before any pain develops. This is different from a walking or running shoe that focuses on the stride and therefore has a much flatter sole. The Dansko Professional is really a ‘standing’ shoe, which is different from so many other styles of shoes that focus on walking or running.
Practicality is key when it comes to the Dansko Professional. The Dansko’s practical nature is what makes it such a great option for hospital and restaurant environments. The smooth upper lacks laces and creases which makes it great for messy work. If you spill on the upper you can simply wipe it clean. The shoe itself is built like a clog but has a back because many medical professions require it. If you have never worn the Dansko Professional then you should expect the heel to fit very loosely compared to most other footwear styles. Nurses often have dress codes that allow for fun pattern shoes to match their scrubs. The Dansko Professional is available in colors ranging from smooth black to leopard patent leather and everything in between.

If you work in a situation that requires a whole lot of standing then it may be time for you to consider the Dansko Professional so you can give your feet a break. You wouldn’t wear a snow boot for a day at the beach, so why would you consider a running or walking shoe for a standing job?
