Through my schooling for a degree in exercise science I was given an opportunity to intern with a nurse practitioner in the field of cardiac rehab.  I worked with her during examinations, fitness testing, and during rounds in the hospitals.  As I walked those floors down those halls, my lower back was talking to me…in a not so pleasant way I might add and my feet.  Well, let’s just say the conversation didn’t get any better.  Even my most comfortable running shoes started giving me fits after awhile.

I noticed that several of the nurses within the office I was training in wore the same kind of shoes, the Dansko nursing shoes.  I asked my nurse practitioner instructor about this.  She told me that hands down these are the most comfortable pair of shoes she’s ever worn.  She said she initially fought against wearing them for a long time because she wasn’t a big fan of the look.  But after buying new pairs of running shoes every 3 months, she decided to give them a try.  From there she said she was hooked and would never own another kind of shoe.

While we were talking another nurse joined the conversation with her own story and the bottom line being that the shoes were not only the most comfortable but most durable as well.   Both my instructor and the other nurse had over 3 years each on their shoes and that’s wearing them everyday for work.

After hearing that story and experiencing the pain I experienced while shadowing my mentor, I decided to do some research on the Dansko shoes and was very impressed with the whole Dansko Story.

I love to hear about positive stories in life and after hearing the Dansko philosophy, I just wanted to be a part of their success story.  As a result, I put together this page to give the best information and resources I could on Dansko nursing shoes.  My hope is that it will help you find comfort and relief from standing and walking all day during your long shift.  And maybe even give a little back to you since you give so much to others.

Wishing you all the best and thanks for all you do.
