It began with a uniquel designed and patented Danish clog, discovered by company founders Mandy Cabot and Peter Kjellerup, in a tiny shop in Denmark in the late 1980's. The husband and wife team. then professional horse trainers, flipped over their discovery of "the perfect barn shoe," and, queite literally, put them through two years of "acid-testing." Mandy and Peter found these shoes to be extraordinarily comfortable, durable, and attractive enough to wear almost everywhere. They were the only shoes they ever wore. Mandy and Peter secured the exlusive rights to the stapled clog product line from Denmark , and "Dansko Inc." was up and running in 1991. Pairs were shared, new designs designed, new collections developed, the good word spread , and within a few short years Dansko became a major hit nationally.
