Every school day brings new challenges, and your shoes should be ready for all of them. Dansko teacher shoes are crafted to keep up with the pace of your profession. Our proprietary Dansko Natural Arch® technology provides built-in arch support that promotes proper alignment and added structure underfoot.

Many of our shoes feature removable footbeds, allowing for orthotic use and added customization ideal for teachers who need extra support. Chrome-free leathers and breathable linings are used, with materials chosen to support airflow and comfort.

We also design outsoles for use on a variety of surfaces, suitable for transitions between indoor and outdoor environments. The construction supports long periods of standing and movement in settings like classrooms, science labs, and playgrounds.
