Since 2005 I have owned and loved this pair of Dansko shoes.
I used to think that these were fashionably not an option for me. Ever. But as I've matured I have come to the realization that there is value in comfort and practicality. I was a grad student with an internship and a part time job. These worked for everything! They probably saved some of my relationships because of this equation: uncomfortable shoes + lots of walking/standing = very sore feet, which also = very bad mood!!
The sad day came when Gus was 8 weeks old and we were returning from our trip to meet my family. As I was carrying my shoes out the door to return to KY my stepmother, Pam, commented that she really liked them. That was my last memory of my beloved Dansko's. When we got home I could not find them!! It was a sad twist of fate. Well that may be a little dramatic but you get the point.
Fast forward to Christmas 2009. Josh bought me a new pair of Dansko's JUST like my old ones!! He went over the price limit but I really appreciated the sentiment. He's sweet. I've been thinking, however, that I need to spice these up a bit. I am very attracted to the red patten leather (big shocker for those of you who know me) but I don't think they would be as versatile. SO I have chosen (drum roll please).........
these Tooled Leather Black Clogs. Can you see the detail? I think it adds a little umph. Also, I like that they are kind of shiny. I still have to send my others back to Zappos (love Zappos) and order these from Dansko. Friends & Readers, what do you think? Can't wait to take my feet home...yes, dramatic again.

You make me laugh! Let's talk about how I walk straight towards the Jessica Simpsons sky high heels, but I'm seceretly scanning the Naturalizers and other heavily padded and supportive shoes.
I swear I have nothing to do with the disappearance of your first Dansko, lol :) But I like the look of your new one. Good choice. Love yah!
Well I'm just wondering about the stepmother........... I would be wondering what size shoe she wears!
Yes, LBo, I do love some Jessica Simpson shoes but I walk like negative two mph in heels that tall!
Pam's feet would DROWN in my shoes lol.
