Dansko Mommy and Me Shoes Review and GIVEAWAY

Since becoming a style blogger a year ago, I've learned that Dansko clogs have a true cult following of women who swear by them as literally the most comfortable shoes on the planet. I know women who will ONLY buy Dansko clogs- That's how much they love them.

So when Dansko contacted me to try out their new shoes out for myself (and my six-year-old daughter), I couldn't wait. Sure enough, our Dansko shoes have been fantastically stylish AND supremely comfortable. I have a pair of stylish Dansko slouch boots that I think I could actually run a marathon in- and my daughter has the cutest pair of bubblegum pink clogs that she's able to wear even in PE because they have rubber soles and they're just. That. Comfortable.

Over the last few weeks, Punky and I have been trying out Dansko's new Sanibel line of shoes that are part sneaker, part clog-- which we're crazy about. I'm wearing these Veda Canvas shoes, which slip on and are perfect with jeans when I'm running around with the kids and am going to be on my feet for a while... Really, a mom will get a LOT of use out of these shoes. There are so many situations that call for comfortable, sneaker-style shoes and these have way more comfort and support than any sneaker I've ever worn.

Punky has these pink floral Vesta slip-ons, which she wears just about every single day. They are perfect for school, and she loves that she can just put them on and go. So do I.




Dansko shoes are worth the money, y'all. I'm a true convert. And if you'd like to try them out for yourself and your daughter/granddaughter/favorite little girl, you're going to LOVE this giveaway.

I'm giving away two pairs of Dansko shoes- one for women, one for girls-- to one lucky Suburban Turmoil reader! To enter, check out Dansko.com, choose your favorite pair of shoes both for you and a little girl, and leave a comment on this post telling me your picks between now and Sunday, March fifth at 11:59pm, CST. The winner will receive both pairs of shoes! Be sure and leave your e-mail address in the comment so that I can contact you if you've won. You can get an additional entry by becoming a fan of Dansko on Facebook and another additional entry by following Dansko on Twitter. Leave a comment on this post for each additional method of entry.
This contest is open to US residents only.

Good luck!!

Disclosure: I received two pairs of Dansko shoes in order to write this review. As always, my opinions are my own.

I'm shopping for that perfect summer sandal that I never want to take off, so I would probably get the Cammie Chocolate Glazed Full Grain (it kind of sounds like a desert!) As for the little one, definitely the Vesta! Those are adorable!

That was easy, Professional Black Pull-Up Leather for me and Gitte Black Full Grain leather for the kids pair. I live in Danskos, they work best with my feet problems and the hours I spend on my feet cooking.

I've heard people rave about danskos for years, but I've never splurged to try them.

For me, I'd say the BRIELLE BLACK MILLED NAPPA - even though we're nearing the end of winter, I desperately need new black boots and would LOVE a comfy pair to wear to work.

Definitely the vesta pink floral for my girl. :)

I love Danskos and always have since I first tried them about 5 years ago. My only problem is that I can only get about 1 pair a year because they are not cheap - however, TOTALLY worth the money! "Like slippers!" I tell everyone.

My favorite right now are the Beccas because they are perfect for work - dressy, super cute AND comfortable!

My favorite for my little munchkin, age 2 are the new Vestas! Love these and love the pattern!!!

The PAM pomegranate glazed full grain shoes look just adorable! Love how cute and red they are. Perfect for looking professional at the job. The little girl in my life, the spunkiest girl I've ever known, would like the VESTA navy canvas to join her on her daily adventures in middle school.

I have always wanted a pair but haven't spent the money! My friends swear by them! My choice would be the Summer Black Full Grain. Very cute and would be perfect with jeans or could dress up! My 6 yr old girl loves the Vesta Pink Floral Canvas!

I LOVE Dansko clogs! They are the best when you are on your feet all day. My favorites are the professional Cordovan Cabrios (or the classic clogs) and I don't have a daughter but I would definitely give a little girl I know the Gitte Bubblegum Patent leather ones-they are so adorable!

Love the Veda melon canvas ones, THEN I saw the vegan pro rust tapestry. Now to decide if I want cute new shoes for summer, or if I'd have the patience to hold a pair until fall, since the vegans are definitely fall material!
The Vestas are too precious for the girls (since I only have a boy, my best friend's daughter would get the girls' pair).

Oh, this is great! I have two pairs of Danksos, and they are the most comfortable shoes in the entire world!

Little girl: Definitely the Jada in black patent. She would love them, and they are the cutest things!

Bigger girl: ;) The Savanna Chocolate Full Grain are stylish yet simple, which is what I need for several occasions. (I almost went for more of a sandal, but then I remembered that I live in a place where it's cold more than it's warm. :( )
