These shoes were made for cooking

Vegetarian Times, Nov-Dec, 2004

Countless chefs, including Wolfgang Puck, swear by Dansko clogs, the hip but healthful Danish shoes designed with comfort in mind. The company's founders, Amanda Cabot and Peter Kjellerup, are former horse trainers who discovered the supportive clogs in Denmark and put them through the rigors of 18-hour barn days.

Impressed, they founded Dansko in 1991 and began expanding the line. The secrets of the shoes' mystique: tons of toe room; a nonallergenic sockling that absorbs sweat; contoured "rocker" soles; and an anatomical design that eases leg, feet and back muscles during hours of standing. No wonder cooks love them. Look for Dansko shoes on Adam Sandler's feet in "Spanglish," which opens December 17. Yes, he plays a chef. To find your own pair, call 800.DANSKO.4 or visit www.dansko.com.
