A brand of just another expensive hippie shoe, mostly clogs, worn by professionals, artists, and intellectuals...Similar to Birkenstocks, but generally last quite a bit longer...
A dance achieved wearing only "Dansko" clogs. The shuffle originated from the sliding movement a person must use while wearing danskos, to safely get across an icy driveway. To do the "Dansko Shuffle," one makes awkward forward movements one leg at a time as if cross country skiing.
