Sure…my particular Danskos might positively use some love from the shoe-repair place or the dry cleaners — or at the least a shoe-shining place (can we nonetheless do this?). As an alternative, these clog boots have a pleasant little spot reserved (as is) subsequent to the entrance door, and so they’re the boots I gravitate to MOST on early morning drop-offs for six a.m. sports activities practices. And very often, they’re the boots I gravitate to any time I’m strolling out the door and simply need one thing cozy and simple.
Dansko not makes my particular boots. There are a number of pre-worn pairs on eBay or you may verify Poshmark. The newer model of those boots is JUST as snug (and on MAJOR sale), however they do have a unique vibe in design. Hoping Dankso will carry these again in additional colours subsequent yr!
