Customer Reviews Dansko XP 2.0 Mary Jane Clog

I ordered a pair of these (Dansko XP 2.0) and a pair of waterproof Dansko Professionals. I like the Professionals much more than these because the arch support and sole are a lot more comfortable. The Pro arch and sole feel like they have more cushion and ‘give’. They also fit my foot better. I have very flat, low volume feet. Perhaps these fit better if you have high arches. Not sure. Other than fit and comfort, these shoes seem very well made. The leather is good quality and the black color and sheen of this style are very nice-looking.

I ordered these in Black Patent and returned them. Not only were they less sexy goth Margiela nurse and more goth clown, but I didn’t find the XP 2.0s to be any lighter or more comfortable than the plain ol’ Professionals – in face I prefer them. The XP 2.0s also squeak too much with each step! You already look clownish enough in Danskos, no need to sound like one too.

I have been wearing Dansko Professional and Dansko XP clogs for many years. They have recently started making my feet and hips hurt but no other shoe has fit or supported my foot in other ways that they do. I decided to try the Dansko XP 2.0. I had reservations on how much different they would actually be. They are quite different. The lighter weight is so much better and having a little cushioning seems to make a difference as well. Slight warning, sizing runs all over the board with these. I have a 38 and a 37 in the regular Dansko Professional and Dansko XP clogs. I ordered 4 pair of the black patent Dansko XP 2.0 in a 38 and not one of them fit the same. I then ordered a size 37 and they were way to small. Much, much smaller than my other Dansko clogs in the same size. I decided to try a different color and ordered the blue patent and the wine tooled patent each in a size 38. The blue patent was huge and the wine tooled patent is just right and more true to size to my other clogs. The fluctuations in sizes was frustrating, but I finally found a pair of 2.0's that work!

I've worn Dansko as a work shoe for years. Almost had to give them up, but then XP came on the scene and saved the day for my old, tired feet. I was no longer satisfied with the comfort, and was looking for something more lightweight. XP 2.0 to the rescue! More cushion, and lightweight! I wear a 43 in the XP, but had to size down to a 42 in the XP 2.0. Even so, the shoe feels a bit loose and my feet rattle around in them just a bit. Not too bad, but enough to take the comfort from 5 stars to 4. Love, love shopping with Zappos!

This show felt so tight that it hurt for me to put it on to even try it on.

Too much arch support! The shoes are also too long for their size - I can fit a couple fingers behind my heels easily, and my pants get caught in the heel.

I sent these back and ordered the next size up. I have worn danskos for years and have always worn the same size except this style. It runs small.

If you have a high arch and wider top of the foot it may be a bit tight where the top of the foot meets the shoe. A bit narrow as well, if it weren't for the tight upper part of the shoe I'd have kept them, they felt incredible aside from that and hugged my feet perfectly, but simple was too right at the top of the foot to be able to keep them.

Felt a little big; going down a size probably would have been small.

These are the most painful shoes I've ever had on my feet. I tried to give them a chance. I wore them to my husband's funeral visitation and stood for four hours. By the time I got home, I could barely walk because the knee pain was so great. I bought them because they were recommended for those with Planter Fasciitis. I know that other people swear by Dansko, but I'm stuck with a very expensive shoe that I will never wear again.

I ordered the 43 W- I had to remove the insole to be able to get my foot in. The opening is very narrow. The heel was quite wide, my foot was floating in the back of the shoe, and my big toe was crushed. Overall, it was a strange and uncomfortable fit. I normally wear a 12W and have high arches (which may be why I couldn't even get my foot into the shoe with the regular insole).

size 37 was way too big. A 36 would have been a better fit but it was not offered

What's going on???? I've ordered size 37 for 10 years, regular and they are now almost a full size larger?

Unfortunately I really couldn’t wear these shoes, they were too big and too wide, my foot slipped right out of them. I usually wear a 10 or 101/2 med width.

Don't waste your money on these clogs. They are heavy, clunky, and the sizing is ridiculous. I also did not feel steady while wearing them. Easy to twist an ankle with the clogs.

Hard to guage European sizing. The 11 too short and 11.5 too big. Regular width too wide. Wish came in narrow then maybe 11.5 would have fit. Beautiful shoe though. Really wanted it to work

I've had other Dansko clogs that I purchased several years ago. Something has changed significantly in the sizing of these shoes. The regular width now fits more like a wide and overall the clog just fits larger. Also noticed much more room across the top of the foot. Unfortunately, given the inconsistencies in sizing now on these shoes, I will be returning. Very disappointing. Am wondering if Dansko obtained a different manufacturer for their shoes? Giving 3 stars due to the fit. Quality of construction still seems good, but doesn't help if their sizing is off.

Have worn a pair for 10 yrs and was hoping to replace them. Two pair came both very large. I have always worn a 40 but these were much longer and wider. The new XP are so light that I was disappointed not to have a good fit.

Ridiculous. Don’t say it will fit 11.5-12 if it won’t. I wear and 11. Sized up and still wasted time, effort and money. Be honest. I wouldn’t have ordered them and wouldn’t be so annoyed with the site and seller if you would have just said you only make up to size 10.

I've been wearing Dansko for years and haven't changed size. Somehow, these run smaller than 'normal'? I am unable to return because I wore them. This is terrible because of the expense of these shoes.

Nurse here!! Wow, where do I start? Long story short these Dansko had to be returned and did not work out for me and I’ll tell you why but first, MAJOR shout out to Zappos for always having excellent customer service when a shoe doesn’t work out. It’s been a journey to find a shoe that will not give me pain after being on my feet for 12 plus hours at my job and Zappos has been so good! I finally bought these XP 2.0 after a fellow nurse recommendation. I had tried “regular” athletic shoes and spent countless of dollars only to have burning pain shift after shift. The clogs in the beginning were great, immensely alleviated the burning and I could tolerate being on my feet all day. Then, surprisingly, about a week or so later the top part of my right foot starts with “digging like” pain. I thought maybe they were just too snug so I took them to a shoe repair place and had just the right one stretched. No avail. No matter what I did, the top part of my right foot had tremendous stabbing pain so much so that I couldn’t stand to keep wearing them. The bottoms of my feet were feeling great but not my top right foot. I placed cushion pad on my foot and everything. Turns out, I have come to find out I have high arches and apparently a higher than normal instep especially on my right. These shoes, as others have stated, are not meant for high instep feet. I was so bummed because I really wanted these clogs to be the final answer to my pain but it didn’t work. In fact, I still have an area to this day on my right foot that is still swollen from the rubbing/stabbing and it hasn’t alleviated. It’s very strange. What I found out is I need the support of the clog but with a lace up type enclosure. Well, they don’t make such a thing after endless investigation and research. If you don’t have high arches or a high instep, then these clogs should be a god send to you. They definitely ARE comfortable otherwise. After calling dansko, I am now trying the the Pace Mesh. I do have tailor bunions on each of my feet and usually try for a wide width but they don’t make Pace in a wide but surprisingly I don’t have any problems with that. I do however, feel the same irritation to the top of my right foot and thinking it’s due to my high instep. So I’m trying to lace these shoes in such a way that will give my instep area some extra room. The bottom of my feet with the Pace are surprisingly comfortable. Pace arch support is very sturdy. So still on the hunt for the “right shoe”. This whole experience has shown me I have very special, screwed up feet!!

Way too big this time.

Run short! i've tried this brand several times but always find that they run short. I wear a ladies 13 narrow/medium. It's dificult to find stylish, colorful, feminine shoes in my size. Very disappointed they don't fit me.

These run short! They make cute shoes but every pair I've tried runs short. I wear a ladies 13 narrow/medium. It is very difficult to find cute, feminine looking styles and colors. So disapointed these don't work.

Generally this shoe fit in all the right places except one: it was too narrow in the toe box, and specifically it rubbed the inside of my big toes, even though there was ample space everywhere else, including at the end of my toes. Dansko clogs used to be my go-to. Finding it harder and harder to find a version that fits just right anymore.
