Dansko’s description: We used our patented stapled construction to add high-quality leathers to a midsole made with sustainable and durable cork in Merrin. A heel strap on this thoughtfully crafted mule provides a lighter take on support, and leathers produced with waste-reducing methods will give you a wardrobe staple you can feel good about. Please note that these are a suede shoe and the markings on them are part of the suede and were there when I bought them. These have been worn once. They are super comfortable!
