As many of you know – The Dansko Professional Sole is by far one of the most popular sole throughout all of Dansko’s Collections.  I’m sure many of you ask, why the Dansko Professional or simply what’s the big deal about it…?

The Dansko Professional Sole is a stapled, hand-made, true rocker sole.  Hand Made? That’s correct, each sole is attached to the upper, by a person – not some robot like 95% of the other shoes out there.  In return each shoe is made slightly different, so try out multiple pairs until you get the right ones.  Think of it as “custom made” for your foot.  One of the newest styles of this season is the Dansko Professional Felt Swirl(left), it comes in three color variations: Black with Grey Swirls, Black with Purple Swirls, and Pink with Light Pink Swirls. Happy Holidays!!!  Another style following the Professional Felt Swirl is the Dansko Professional Penny Sequin(right) – Are you looking for something to really aww-shock your family at the Christmas get-together? Well these are your ticket to fame!

The Dansko Professional is built above industry standards giving them the ultimate support system.  Each sole is consisted of a sturdy thermoplastic polyurethane toe box that protects the feet from bumps, enhancing the durability without compromising free toe movement.  Polypropylene mid sole supports your heel-to-toe flexibility and side to side stability; which in return reduces torque and over pronation.  The stress reducing rocker -bottom outsoles simply push the feet forward for easier walking; the slip-resistant outsole design also carries a SATRA approval.  The Dansko Professional is also accompanied by the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association. There are numerous Dansko Professionals specifically made with a protective covering which keep your shoes less harmed upon any spills and messes.  View the Nurse’s Clog here!

Being on your feet for many hours a day, you should clearly try the Dansko Professional Clog.  Your feet are the true foundation to a long day at work or play! In Men’s and Women’s, there’s no reason to have unhappy feet!

Here are few leading occupations that rely on the Dansko Professional Clog day in and day out:

• Chefs/Food/Serving Industry

Give them a try – what do you have to lose..?  A pair of happy, non-fatigued feet at the end of your day?

So many of us want that super cute, adorable, beautiful looking shoe for a special occasion.  But are they really that comfortable? Are your feet aching, cramping, and simply not happy with you after 4hrs of wearing them?

Through the years, I have learned to wear what is comfortable.  Judge your feet, not the cuteness factor. Are the boots, shoes,clogs, or sandals really that comfortable?  Do they feel like a 10hr pair of shoes? We’ve come to realize that one of our favorite sayings is, “Fit your feet, not your head.” Easier said then done, we know!  Just because someone else finds them comfortable, doesn’t mean your feet will like them too. At Bur-Mar’s, we go to shoe conventions and markets all over the US where the cuteness factor is tenfold.  Of course we love to check out the adorable, stunning shoes but our main concern is the comfort level.  Let’s face it ladies, we are all vain in some way or another.  Working on your feet 60hrs a week the way I do, I don’t want to go home to collapse because of cramping, tired feet.  Enjoying life at the end of each day with my husband and our Lab, Scooter is a must.

We are true believers that these purchases are made easily through Dansko, Naot, and Eric Michael.  The Dansko Professional Clog available by Dansko comes in over 30 colors and textures.  This is the choice of teachers, hair stylist,medical, retail, and food industries.  They also offer us a choice of dress and chic styles of boots – as well as weekend wear! Naot offers us comfort and cute dress-casual shoes and boots that fit the narrower to medium width feet.  Comfort dress is truly hard to find anymore and the cork comfort support through Naot is a must try!
