I was more than a little worried last year when Sanita effectively ended their contract with Dansko to supply them with their flagship flexible stapled clog. But see here! The Dansko Professional flexible stapled clog LIVES--not in a cached archive from 2007, but in the actual here and now at Zappos! Rocker sole? Check. Roomy toe box? check. PVC inner frame that provides stability and reduces torque and pronation? CHECK!
I received my first pair for Christmas '98 when my feet were wracked with pain from rheumatoid arthritis. I was a middle school teacher that had to be on her feet--try teaching 7th graders sitting down--it doesn't work. The professional model was a true godsend at that time in my life. The rocker sole kept pressure off my forefoot which was the point of pain for me.
I have yet to try on the non-Sanita made stapled clogs, so I can't say whether they feel exactly the same as the ones that I used to wear. I'm waiting to hear from customers at Zappos, or from you, kind readers! If you've been a Dansko flexible stapled clog wearer in the past and happen to order these, let me know how they compare. Thank you from the bottom of my clog-loving heart.
