Dansko #Teacher Appreciation Review & Giveaway

 

One item I valued as a teacher was a good—I mean REALLY GOOD—pair of shoes.

After years of blisters, teaching with NO shoes, lots of ice water baths–when that didn’t help, hot foot soaks.  I finally realized that I had to stop buying cheap shoes and put some money on my feet since I was on them all day.  As I bit the bullet and spent more than I thought I should on a pair of shoes, I realized that I had made the right decision.  GREAT shoes are a must for teachers, pretty or ugly, comfort is the key!

I was contacted by the Dansko shoe company to test out a pair of their shoes.  I had never heard of this brand, but as I asked around, everyone I talked to said the same thing.  Those are GREAT shoes!

Watch the story of how Dansko shoes began—pretty amazing.

 The kind folks at Dansko let me select the shoe!  AWESOME!  I selected the Nigella Brown Full Grain, which arrived quickly.  But, not as quickly as I put them on my feet.  “WOW!”  These are one of the most comfortable shoes EVER!  Upon first look, you think, those look clunky—WRONG-O!  Talk about fitting like a glove.  These shoes are made for comfort and style.

Living in Florida, I rarely wear “real” enclosed shoes.  The Nigella by Dansko is a perfect Florida shoe…not only that, but a perfect teacher shoe.  Made of beautiful brown leather, with decorative studs, your foot melts into the shoe.  I received so many comments about how cute they were and more than a few people had to give them a try.  It didn’t matter if they were a smaller or larger size than me, all agreed with me that the comfort factor is a 10+!

Today for National Teacher Appreciation Day, Dansko is giving one K-12 teacher and a teacher friend a pair of Dansko shoes EACH!
