Customer Reviews Dansko Pro XP Professional

I bought these shoes because I was in desperate need for comfortable non slip work shoes. All the reviews were 5 stars so I figured you get what you pay for and coughed up the money. These shoes are okay, not great. The non slip is not as good as other brands I have had and their comfort is not a 5. Took weeks of wearing every day to break in and even after I would say they are okay at best.

I love my Danko Pro XPs! At first I ordered the original Dansko's and then saw for just a little more money I get better features such as added traction and a cushioned footbed. It was completely worth the investement. I work on my feet and with children, so these are great! I do wish all Dansko's were a bit more modern in style, but either way I will continue to purchase them.

I'm so disappointed. I work 10 hours shifts in retail so these are getting some very hard wear very fast. The toe box was too narrow, so I had to take them in and have them stretched. That solved that issue. Second issue is the dye. I literally have black toes after 100+ hours of wear. The dye keeps staining my toes through socks. The arch support is top notch, but these just put too much pressure on my toes (after stretching - this isn't a width issue), about 1/2 way through my shift the toes start hurting, a stabbing needle like pain. :( The leather is also scuffing up very quickly. I'm up and down from my knees on a regular basis and the toes are looking beat up already.

Love Dansko Pro XP! All of the support of the professional clog but more cushiony! I will always buy XP from now on!

I love these shoes! I didn't order them from Zappos but I love the Pro XP line! I work in the healthcare field, I am constantly walking. I have the regular Dansko professional clogs which work great for just standing in one area for the most part. But since I do a lot of walking the clogs get heavy and there isn't much cushioning in the sole of the foot by the end of a 12 hour shift. The Pro XP shoes are lighter than the original and have more of a cushiony feel to your feet. They have great arch support too! I was a size 36 in the regular professional clogs but with the Pro XP line I am a size 35. I was lucky to find these at the store in the smaller size because most vendors only seem to provide a size 36 as their smallest. I purchased the patent black color but wish they offered the metallic navy blue in a 35. Other than the sizes being slightly off from the regular clogs, I love these shoes and would definitely purchase more when these wear out in time. If I can get lucky and find my size 35!

I ordered two sizes in this shoe. I am typically an 8.5M. The 39 was too big and the 38 fit in the toe area, but the heel is super wide. My foot was slipping out of them when I walked. Bummer, I really love them.

I was leery of the espresso color as I wasn't sure if it would go well with everything but it does! Espresso the exact color of a coffee bean (imagine that!) and with the black sole, this shade goes well with black pants and blue jeans alike. I find the regular Dansko insole comfy so the XP's super squishy insole is just an added bonus. The only thing about the XP that I find a tad misleading is the statement that the XP insoles can be removed to accommodate a custom ortho. While it's true, you can use your own insole, the Dansko arch support is mostly in the construction of the actual shoe, likely making your own insole a redundancy. My own insole (a $150, Dr.-fitted custom) does not work at all with this shoe. Thankfully, Dansko shoes offer enough support straight out of the box - custom insoles are not necessary.

Great shoe and unlike other styles of Dansko, there is truly no "Break in period". Very comfortable from the get go and last an entire 12 hour shift. Great quality as always, lighter weight and worth every penny!

I've worn Dansko pro clogs/shoes for 12 years and have loved every minute of it. I recently got a job that has me on my feet all day, and by the end of the day my feet hurt so much I can almost cry. I ordered the black patent pro xp's with high hopes. I was disappointed and here's why: 1. the insole is cut tight for my foot, unlike their regular pro clogs. I thought they might stretch after wearing them but b/c of this & their other issues I decided to return them. 2. the sole strikes the floor differently than the pros (b/c they're made of different materials) which made me stumble a bunch of times when I wore them. 3. They look like clown shoes - I don't know if it's b/c of the shiny patent leather or the design of the shoe?.... They seem more bulbous in the toe and my heel completely comes out of the shoe when I walk, unlike the regular pros. 4. I wore them to work once and stupidly forgot to bring a change of shoes, which I paid for with 3 blisters (I've never gotten blisters from other dansko's before). 5. the price is steep, but i was willing to pay it if the shoes delivered on their promises which for me they did not. I really wanted to love these and rave about how they alleviated my foot pain and gave me more energy @ work, but I cannot. I appreciate the direction these are going in and will try the next version after they address some of these issues. Bummer...

What a great shoe! I normally wear a size 7.5-8 and ordered a size 38 and 37. The 38 was just a little too roomy around the heel; the 37 kept my foot more secure while still comfortable. I bought these for nursing clinical and keep my feet happy all day long! I would recommend these to any one on their feet for long periods of time. They are truly slip resistant and my scrub pants hang nicely over them. Definitely worth the investment!

This is my first pair of Danskos. I have to say, I bought them purely for comfort, not style. I bought the patent leather so they would look a bit more dressy for work. They are super comfortable, and had no break in time. The only issue I had was a bit of pain on the bone on the top of my foot over my arch. Just getting used to the Dankso fit, I suppose. So, they are cuter than I expected, but definitely not what I would consider fashion forward. Regardless, they are comfy and I'm keeping them! I also saw a brown pair with jeans and they looked great, so I may consider a second pair!

I did not think that any shoes could be better than Dansko Pros, but the Pro XPs are the most comfortable street shoes that I have ever worn. My Pro XPs took me through nine London museums and up and down the 530 steps to the top of St. Paul's. My feet were so happy!

I have worn Dansko Pro clogs for years. My work keeps me on my feet and the Dansko Professionals were great. I wore out my old pair and looked to replace them with the same. I noted that the Pro XP is a lighter clog and decided to try it. Hurray! It is even better than the Pro!! Better cushioning too. I wear a 6.5B and the 36 fit perfectly. The only minus is the leather finish/color, it's not as black and shiny as my old Pro pair.

Even more comfortable than the original Dansko Professional line. These XPs are lightweight and the removable insoles are great. Provides great arch support.

I've worn Dansko clogs for many years for work. I love the Dansko Pro XP - the most comfortable clog I've ever worn!

5 stars is not a high enough rating for this shoe! I work 10 hours standing on a concrete floor and my feet never hurt once. On the first day with these, I expected to just wear them for 1/2 day and then switch to my old shoes...never happened. Put them on straight out of the box and wore them all day without a single ache or pain. I have plantar fasciitis and usually wear orthotics, but no need with the ProXP! I love these shoes! I wear an 8 US and purchased a 38 in these...perfect fit.

These shoes saved my feet in Paris. I walked 15 miles in them one day. I also wore them on the flight to and from Paris and even with flight-related foot swelling, they still fit and still kept me going. The toe box is roomy, but is contoured so that if your slacks are long enough, they aren't too cloggy/clunky looking. I have plantar fasciitis that flares up now and then. I can wear these shoes without my orthotics and still make it through the day without pain. I love them and will always have a pair.

This is my eighth pair of Dansko's, but first pair of Pro XP. I have to say they are even better than the regular Dansko's (hard to believe, I know!). The bottom of the shoe is rubber-soled, and slip resistant, which also causes the shoe to 'sound' different when it hits the floor. It has a softer effect than the regular Dansko, and doesn't sound like you are dragging your feet. The inside sole is so much softer than the regular Dansko. Feels like your foot has so much more cushion, but yet receives the same support as Dansko is so famous for. I will be purchasing the Pro XP in the future. I just wish Zappos had more color options in this shoe!

I LOVE these! I work 10-12 hr shifts on hard floors, and these get me through. I think they run *slightly* larger than the regular Dansko Professional. In those, I needed a wide, but with these, the average width worked fine. The foot bed is provides more cushioning, and the heel was ever so slightly lower than the heel in the Professional. I would recommend the paying the extra $20 for these compared to the Professional. As always, quick delivery.

Awesome shoe! I bought these from another online retailer because they have more colors and styles available in the ProXP. I wear them to work as a teacher and am on my feet all day. They are much softer than the original, and more flexible. Regular Dansko Professional clogs took a few weeks to break in with the tightness over the in-step, but these ProXP's are comfortable from the start. These shoes are also much lighter than the old ones. Worth the extra money. Thanks Dansko!

I did not purchase my pro XP Danskos from Zappos but they are great shoes! I did not experience any uncomfortable break in time like with the traditional Dansko shoes. These are like wearing your favorite tennis shoes to work a 12 hour shift.
