The Dansko Marcelle shoe has become one of the favourite designs from the whole range of Dansko footwear. The comfortable styling and choice of leather finishes combined with the traditional stapled clog footbed ensure that it is a shoe that can be worn all day.
The clog style has become a popular look over recent years and there are good and bad imitations of the real thing but Dansko have been making these shoes for over twenty years and have excellent credentials in the footwear industry, regularly winning awards for design, quality and innovation.
The company also has an ethical approach towards sourcing materials and environmental impacts. It established a charitable foundation in 2002 and is proud to publish details of its carbon footprint and recycling achievements. Moving to new headquarters in 2008 Dansko was pleased to receive recognition from the US Green Building Council for the building works.
The design of the Dansko Marcelle has incorporated all of the key health points that mean these shoes provide excellent arch support via a special midsole and shock absorbing properties. These points combined with a shaped sole ensure that the shoes are a good choice for day long wear, winning approval, recognition and testimonials from the American Podiatric Medical Association.
But do not be fooled into thinking that these shoes are just about comfort and support, they look seriously good and can be worn with smart suits, casual trousers and pretty skirts. The Mary Jane look has been seriously updated with the elasticized instep strap, detailing over the front and slightly raised 2inch heel adding style and fashion points.
You can choose the Dansko Marcelle in patent leather with easy to care for shiny black, marbled red or the unique petrol that perfectly replicates those beautiful colours you see when you mix oil with water. If a shiny shoe is not your style then the colours in the cabrio leather will fit the bill and have the more standard look of a polished leather shoe.
US sizes are available from 4.5 to 13, this is the European equivalent of 35 to 43. The company recommend that for a good fit your toes should be able to wiggle inside the shoe, the heel should be able to move up and down easily and that the general feel will be snug as you first step into the shoe. The rounded toe and secure strap will help you to find the perfect fit with your Dansko Marcelle shoe.
