In terms of comfort and support, Dansko's first sock line will continue where their shoes leave off. The collection, which features five colorful patterns in three heights, will debut this fall. To manufacture the socks, the West Grove, Pa.-based brand partnered with DeFeet—known for construction innovations popular with professional cyclists and runners. The line marries Dansko's knack for quality products with its quirky personality.

In terms of comfort and support, Dansko’s first sock line will
continue where their shoes leave off. The collection, which features
five colorful patterns in three heights, will debut this fall. To
manufacture the socks, the West Grove, Pa.-based brand partnered with
DeFeet—known for construction innovations popular with professional
cyclists and runners.

The line marries Dansko’s knack for quality products with its quirky
personality. Each sock is constructed to boost support to high impact
areas such as the heel, while high-quality moisture wicking materials
help regulate and dry feet. The socks utilize four times more Lycra
fiber than other lifestyle socks to help them keep their shape wear
after wear and are available in two sustainable materials: Coolmax
Ecomade fiber and Merino wool. Securing eco-friendly materials added
a degree of difficulty to the sourcing process, but Dansko CEO Many
Cabot said it was critical to make sure this was not ‘just one more
product in the marketplace’. “With each component, we asked ourselves
is this being developed in a sustainable manner? It wasn’t an easy
process but we are very happy with the end result,” she explained.
