comfortable alternatives to Dansko - but not a debate on Danskos themselves

[Anonymous]

Have worn Danskos for 20+ years. Found Sanita sandals I wore all summer that were great for walking and looked cool, at least I thought so. Still looking for a winter alternative. Do love my Frye Veronica boots. I sometimes put arch supports in them then can walk longer.

Agree with Merrill boots, Clarks, and Arche. If you like the look of Chucks, I tried a pair of Supergas with a pair of my favorite insoles (the blue profoot) and they are the most comfortable shoes ever. I have terrible feet and have been reduced to wearing Danskos everywhere at times.

I like Clarks

My issue with clarks has been the toe (need a more rounded toe) and many of the footbeds just are comfortable for lots of walking. I do like the style - fine for sitting at my desk but if I'm dog walking, city shopping or on vacation I need that shoe that allows me to go forever without being uncomfortable - Dansko rocker sandals and clogs have always done that for me.

I remembered this thread, and want add another endorsement for Supergas with Profoot insoles. I'd never wear Chuck's (no support), but the Supergas are great.

If you love danskos, why not just keep wearing them?

I recommend Allegria shoes. They are super comfortable and to me, similar to Naot but way cheaper. I have the Petal model but they have others with a rocking bottom similar to Dansko.
Got mine on zappos because couldn't find a local distributor

Have you looked at Andina shoes and boots? They are sold at Duluth Trading Post:

I haven't bought them, but they look like they'd be very supportive and comfortable. I like the look of Danskos....very Scandinavian.

Sketchers Go Walk collection with memory foam. Cute and comfortable. It's the only thing I like to wear when bunions act up.
