Review:
As you may be able to tell by the title’s exclamation points, I’m excited about springtime! This happens to me every year. Once the weather starts getting nice, and the winter coats get retired in the closet, and I can start leaving the house in skirts without needing tights underneath them, I get giddy.
So what better time to have a new pair of spring-y sandals to try on and review for all of you?! And even more, what better time for all of you to get a shot at sprucing up your spring shoe wardrobe with a new pair of free shoes?!
This go ’round, I’m waxing on about Dansko‘s new spring 2012 sandal, Thea, and as soon as I saw that it came in a lovely springtime lime green, I was sold!
Love the cut-out in the heel! Love that this gives the look of a retro wooden clog with added shock-absorption! Love the extra 2 3/4″ of height! Love that I can wear this to walk and stand in all day and still be comfy and stylish!
A few words of counsel after getting my Thea’s: the green’s lighter than this picture led me to believe. You want proof, see here:
Despite the grainy photos, I think you can tell these are more of a lime than a pistachio green color, which actually made them seem more spring-like than I was expecting.
As far as the fit goes, I cannot say enough about how good the arch support is on these. Keeps my feet (which usually require inserts and orthotics for my pronating arches) very very happy.
Also, my feet are very wide at the base of my toes, and the first wear of my new Thea’s was on the tight side at both sides of my feet (especially my right one, which is larger). This gave me some slight pause, since the leather is pretty sturdy, and I wasn’t sure how easily it would give. HOWEVER, much to my delight, the leather loosened up after only a few wearings, so that by the time the above pics were taken (wearing #3, including to a green-themed St. Patrick’s Day party), I wasn’t having the rubbing problem anymore. Hooray!
OK, so why should you care that I love my new Dansko’s?
You should care because YOU CAN WIN A PAIR OF YOUR VERY OWN! (clearly I cannot contain my springtime excitement)
It’s true. The good folks at Dansko are offering up a pair of your choice from their Spring 2012 line. For details, see details at the top of this post.

Kors generates revenue through

three main channels: company run retail outlets, wholesale to other retailers, and licensing. Last year, the company earned 48% of its

revenue from retail, 47% from wholesale, and only 5% from licensing. However, because of the low cost associated with licensing, it

accounted for 16% of income.In both its retail and licensing operations, Kors has benefited from America's gradual emergence from the
ashes of the credit crisis. Studies have shown that financial crises and unemployment increases tend to affect the poor much more than the
wealthy, in part because the wealthy rely less on credit access.

I'd like the Thea in natural, size 41. Don't have anything to go with them yet, but also don't have a problem shopping for something!

What!? When did Dansko get so cute!? Seriously, they seem to be stepping up their cuteness game this season
Oh and I'm a size 6, which I presume is a 36 in Dansko. All the colors are adorable, but the Green Veg just screams "SPRING" to me. Thanks so much for the great article

I think the Thea Green Veg, size 8.5 would look really great with many items in my wardrobe! I think the red version would actually be great as well. I posted a picture of the dress I'll be wearing as soon as it gets warm. thanks so much!!

So many cute options it's hard to choose. but I know I'd get a lot of use out of the Dansko Sophie in orange! I'm a size 8.5 (or 9 if they only come in whole sizes). Crossing my fingers. I'll soon have some jazzy orange sandals!

I am a fan of the Dansko and I am blissfully surprised by the new line! I have recently bought an amazing kaki skirt, very springy and very cool, which would go perfectly well with a brand new pair of Dansko sandals! I love the green color but I LOVE LOVE LOVE also the red version! And the canvas clogs?? Beautiful! I hope I'll get a chance to add a pair to my collection!
