Dansko Sales FAQ
When is the best time to buy Dansko shoes on sale?
The absolute best times are February-March (winter end-of-season) and August-September (summer end-of-season) when Dansko clears inventory. You can save up to 50% off during these periods.
Black Friday and Labor Day also bring strong discounts, with Black Friday historically offering around 50% off. Year-round, check the Sale and Last Chance sections on their website for ongoing markdowns.
How much do Dansko shoes normally cost?
Full-price Dansko clogs and professional shoes typically range from $135 to $165. Sandals usually cost $100-$140, while boots can go up to $180-$200.
On sale, you can find clogs for $70-$90, sandals for $50-$80, and boots for $90-$120. The permanent Sale section offers discounts around 20-40% off, while the Last Chance section can reach up to 60% off.
What is Dansko's return policy for sale items?
Regular sale items can be returned for a full refund within 60 days if unworn and undamaged. However, items marked as “FINAL SALE” ending in $.98 can only be exchanged for store credit β no refunds.
Does Dansko offer free shipping and returns?
Yes! Dansko offers free ground shipping and free returns on all full-priced footwear purchases. Sale items also qualify for free shipping and returns, as long as they're not marked as final sale.
Returns are easy β just visit their Return Center online and they'll email you a prepaid shipping label. No paperwork needed.
Are Dansko shoes worth the price?
If you're on your feet all day, absolutely. Dansko shoes are known for lasting 5+ years with proper care. Nurses, chefs, and retail workers praise them for all-day comfort, excellent arch support, and shock-absorbing soles.
The leather is durable and easy to maintain, and most people find them comfortable enough to wear for 8-12 hour shifts without foot pain. When you break down the cost per wear, they're a solid investment.
How do Dansko shoes fit? Do they run large or small?
Dansko shoes use European whole sizing and generally fit true to size. If you're between sizes, go up to the next full size. Dansko doesn't make half sizes, so a size 39 fits US women's 8.5-9.
Clogs should feel slightly roomy β your toes shouldn't touch the front, and the heel should move up and down as you walk. They may feel a bit stiff at first, but the leather softens quickly within a few wears.
What does “Last Chance” mean at Dansko?
“Last Chance” is Dansko's deepest clearance section where discontinued styles are marked down up to 60% off. These are final sale items that can't be returned for a refund β only exchanged or swapped for store credit.
You'll find last season's colors, discontinued patterns, and styles being phased out.
Can I return final sale items ending in $.98?
No, you can't get a refund on these items. Shoes priced ending in $.98 are exchange or store credit only. If they don't fit, you can swap for a different size or style (subject to availability), or get store credit to use later.
Where can I buy Dansko shoes on sale?
The best selection is directly on Dansko.com in their Sale and Last Chance sections. Major retailers like Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Zappos, and Amazon also carry Dansko on sale, especially during their own promotional events.
If you're near West Grove, Pennsylvania, visit the Dansko Company Store outlet for samples, seconds, and discontinued styles at great prices. Always buy from authorized retailers to ensure you're getting authentic products.
How long do Dansko shoes typically last?
With daily wear, most people report their Dansko shoes lasting 3-5 years or more. The thick polyurethane soles are incredibly durable, and the leather uppers hold up well with basic care like occasional polishing.
Healthcare workers and chefs who wear them 40+ hours per week often get 2-3 years before needing replacement. Some owners report having the same pair for 5-7 years with lighter use. The quality construction and materials justify the higher price point.
