Yes, I admit it.  I am a shoe fanatic- a Dansko shoe fanatic.

I have bad feet, and I have to wear orthopedic shoes. I wear Danskos or Sanitas almost exclusively.

Today Groupon has a deal for CLOGKINGDOM!  $45 for $90 worth of shoes. 

UPDATE: Be wary of doing business with CLOGKINGDOM!

Woot!  Danskos at half price.

I am a Dansko evangelist. Sad but true.  Ask me about my shoes and be prepared for a passionate endorsement!

For the first time ever, I don’t have chronic foot and back pain.

But they are pricey (last forever, but pricey!)  I’ve done the math, actually, and for me Danskos are cheaper than any other shoe (previously, I would buy the best athletic shoes I could find for $50 or so at the outlets, then stuff them with 2-3 orthopedic inserts at $10 a pop- so $80. But the athletic shoes would only last a year or so, if that, and I still had a lot of pain.  My Dansko clogs, I’ve had for 3 years, and I only have pain if I’ve been walking or standing on concrete for hours (like my first trip to Costco, ahem.)

I’ve slowly been adding to my collection, buying a pair each year.  I have brown clogs, black dressy shoes, and this year bought some sneaker types which look sporty and stay on my feet better for hiking and uneven terrain.

See?  Sporty.

Frankly, I need good, comfortable shoes to do my job, because I don’t actually sit around all day.

I have a pair of dressy black heels, and they are the only dress shoes I can wear and walk in.  When I spoke at the San Antonio Catholic Homeschool Conference, I wore them all weekend and they were amazing. No pain.

I ended up starting a whole Pinterest board for outfit inspiration, just for that pair of shoes!  (I need all the fashion help I can get, so Pinterest is my fashion friend!)

Anway, if you are a Dansko fanatic, check out the sale. I have my eye on a pair of summery sandals.  It gets hot in Houston and it would be nice to have a pair I could wear without socks.
