Review Of Dansko Boots For Women

The Dansko footwear company is the proverbial "new kid on the block" in the footwear industry. The company was the brainchild of a couple of professional horse trainers in Denmark who were looking for the perfect, well-rounded footwear which was both functional and fashionable. The idea took flight, and in 1991, Dansko produced it first stapled shoe catalog and was up and running. The company now produces a wide variety of shoes in men, women and children's styles and sizes, and is an excellent choice for the discerning consumer wanting a functional, yet good looking shoe.

The women's line of Dansko shoes is wide and varied. They offer everything from stylish clogs to gorgeous and functional winter boots, which is what I own. Even the boot line at Dansko is wide and varied, encompassing styles from a low paddock boot to a tall, warm lace up work boot. Dansko also specializes in footwear for equestrian competitors, and produce some of the most well known and sought after boots in the horse world. The Dansko line of boots all feature solid construction, a comfortable insole and are made of durable leather for years of enjoyment. All of the Dansko boot line is made to be comfortable and durable, and hold up to year's worth of stressful, hard work.

The women's boot line begins with the Cache, a small paddock type boot reminiscent of the company's strong equine heritage. The boot is a the perfect pull on for the active woman; whether she's chasing children or working horses, the Cache can get the job done in comfort and style. They come in a rich brown or deep black, either of which are highly suitable for all wardrobes. The next boot in the Dansko family is the Chris, which is certainly their cold weather workhorse. The Chris boot is an excellent cold weather shoe, made of water resistant leather and polyurethane soles, which ensure warm, dry feet. The boot is lined with a soft pile of fleece along the interior, which will keep even the coldest breezes out. The Chris is a simply brown lace up design, yet still fashionable enough to run around town in, making it an excellent all-around winter boot. Dansko's Ginger boot is certainly a standout in design and function. It's reminiscent of the light, airy footwear of a boxer, but much more stable and useful for everyday tasks. It's a mid-calf lace design with a solid, well-tractioned sole, making it ideal for wet weather. It is offered in black and brown leathers for the most discriminating of boot lovers.

The remaining three boots in the Dansko women's line, the Nena, the Risa and the Ryan, are certainly more for the fashion conscious than the work-minded. The Nena is a lovely boot, with a higher, wedge-inspired sole and fold down upper. It is ideal for pairing with your favorite pair of jeans, or a hip, funky skirt for a night on the town. The Nena is well-crafted, as are all the Dansko boots, and features soft, durable, supple leather in black, toast and carob shades. The Risa is a boot which calls to those with a flair for the taller boots. The Risa is a standout among the Dansko products as it offers stylings in both black and brown suede and smooth calf leathers, making it ideal for those who love suede and a higher boot. The sole is tall and stable, which allows wearers a very steady, lovely boot. The final boot in the women's line is the Ryan, a smart, versatile ankle boot that pairs well with nearly any outfit. It is also offered in the suede and smooth calf leathers, in black, brown and aubergine. It's a functional and fashionable boot, made with the fashion conscious in mind. It offers class and sophistication in a small, versatile package.

Dansko boots are marketed around the globe, and are readily available in a number of stores, including REI and a variety of horse supply stores. Online retailers for Dansko are just as numerous, and include trusted retailers such as Shoes.com, Nordstroms, and Zappos. Dansko boots vary in price, but ranges in the neighborhood of $150 - $200, depending on retailer and shipping. While the price may be a little higher than other boots, Dansko offers dependable, durable boots which are as fashionable as they are functional. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional boot at an exceptional value.
