Red Rock - If you want some sports sandals with similar contours to the Danskos, try Chaco sandals. I swim, bike, run (hey, triathlon!) in my Chacos. I have ummmm 5 pairs of Chacos at the moment. 2 need to be resoled but I can't bear to part with them for the couple weeks it takes!
I have only one pair of Danskos right now, but I think my next pair of work shoes will be another pair of Danskos.
Have you found the Dansko outlet stores?
