Best shoe ever! My feet love me! I teach kindergarten, and I'm on my feet all day long! Comfortable fit; great arch support. I'm very happy with my purchase and will buy in other colors.

I have had a pair of the regular Dansko professional clogs for close to 10 years and they still look pretty great (black cabrio). I decided to get the xp's in ebony, looking forward to the newer version. They are wonderful but I did have to get one size smaller. They don't seem much lighter than my old pair but look and feel great on my feet. I also like that the ebony color is kind of matte. Really like the insole too and hope they wear like iron like my previous pair!

I got the espresso XP in 37. Two months into my purchase and my feet are so happy. I work as a nurse with 12 hours shifts on a very busy unit where I get minimal seating time. Before this upgrade to Danskos, I was wearing Nike or other running shoes, and I would go home with aching feet and would have to elevate my legs to sleep. I experimented to see the difference between my Nike and Dansko. Saturday, wore my Nike and came home with achy and throbbing feet at the end of the shift. Really needed to massage them before sleeping. Sunday, wore my Dansko and had ZERO pain. It's not too soft on the inside. It's no Dr. Scholl's. But the amount of support it has is so incredible that it will really prevent foot injury in the long run. I wore the shoes first at home for several days to break it in so itd be good to go for work. Also make sure to wear good thick socks for cushion because the shoes can be a little stiff on the sides. As for the material, no visible wrinkles just yet but I can see it happening looking like kind of worn out brown boots in the future. Still cute. Anyway, I recommend this 105% to everyone. Not cool to have feet problems when they're the only two we got. Worth the investment!

Tried several dansko pro before buying this, but had a problem with the hard soles which is not the case for the xp. I did not find the xp to be lighter than the pro. Really comfortable and did not really need to be broken in, although I had to try on several pairs before finding the right fit.

I highly recommend the Dansko Pro XP. They are comfortable, and are very good if you have to stand for a long time. Easy slip on and off. I'm usually a size 7 and the #38 fit just right. A nice casual shoe.

Very comfortable! I wear a 9 but the 39 hit my toes wrong. The 40 are perfect and I will be able to wear thicker socks in the winter.

The extra height takes a little getting used to for someone like me who normally wears running shoes. So I dock one star for style but these shoes are awesome. I wear them for eight hours of on-the-go, nonstop on my feet activity in the kitchen and I don't want to take them off at the end of the day. I would wear them home except I want them to last for as long as possible so will save the hike to/from home and school for my running shoes.

I have purchased three pair of the regular Danskos for work and pleasure - I am a guy in nursing - and was so unimpressed that I purchased a pair of Sanitas many years later in order to try again and I like them. I even had a pair of wooden clogs made for me in Sweden and even they were more comfortable to me than my first experiences with the regular Dansko clogs - to me. The XPs, however, are an entirely different product and an entirely rewarding experience and everyone should try this product. I mean it! They are that good. I protect them and wear them when I want to be comfortable and look great in whatever I am wearing. Your purchase of these shoes/clogs will reward you with supreme comfort and great looks.

I am a special Ed teacher and I am often on my feet for 10 or 12 hours. I love these shoes! They are dressy enough for staff & parent meetings while still being comfortable. I wear thick socks, but I have narrow feet, so the width is perfect! However, I recommend breaking them in over a two week period. These are my 3rd pair, so you get good value for your money.

They're a great shoe. So worth the money. I'm in cosmetology school so before the Danskos my lower back would hurt so bad because I'm on my feet all day. No more back pain. Just make sure you wear sweat socks. Danskos are cushioned to perfection, love them.

I am a size 7, and originally got the size that was 6½-7, but I had to send them back because they were way too tight. The next day I received the next size up and they were perfect from the start. These are great shoes, I am on my feet all day in comfort (I work part-time as x-ray tech and part-time as a bartender).

Had bought Danskos before and found them heavy and awkward. These were perfect from the moment I put them on. Even at the end of a 12 hour shift, they feel great!

Very fast shipping! Well packed. Bought as a gift, so can't respond as to fit. Bought from Zappos due to good reputation and return policy.

These shoes are just to the end of my foot with no room for movement. I am concerned if I order the next size, they might be too big. Shoes seem so solid and supporting.

I am a cook and bought these shoes for work. This is my first pair of Danskos and I love them! They are comfortable and my legs are not tired at the end of my shift. I was concerned about my lower back issues and I'm having tendon issues in one leg, but the shoes have seemed to help.

These clogs offer outstanding support with a little extra cushioning. They're extremely well made so I feel they are a value. I work on my feet for 6-7 hours shifts on hardwood and cement floors. Having had some orthopedic surgery and quite a bit of "hardware" in one ankle, I really appreciate these shoes. Some might think they aren't fashionable, but to my eyes they are beautiful. Zappos continues to blow my mind with their remarkable customer service and speedy free shipping. Thank you!

I love Danskos! (I have 10 pairs) I get the most compliments on the more "unusual" ones. These are great! The print is actually subtle and a little distressed looking. Love them with my olive green chinos!

I love these shoes and get plenty of compliments at work. We all wear the same scrubs so showing a little individuality with these shoes is great. Comfortable and not hard to break-in at all. First pair of Danskos and first time on Zappos and will be back for both.

I love me my Danskos. I am a nursing student and on my feet a lot. These are super comfortable, as usual with Dansko. Obviously the white is a little tough to keep clean, but a damp cloth usually does the trick.

I have a question for you Dansko owners. I purchased these a half size bigger on the recommendations of you. I wear a size 11. the half size larger was 11 1/2 -12. When I put them on there is a space between my heel and the back of the shoe. They feel fine but I did not know if they stretched or if they should have a perfect fit with no gap. Could anyone please advise before I exchange for a smaller size. Thanks. Gail

I loved the shoes, but I was modeling to my husband and he said "you have a pair just like that," and it is true, so I am sorry Zappos but I cannot have 2 pair of the same. You are still my favorite company to order from. And yes, I would definitely recommend these shoes and Zappos to all my friends.

These are great shoes. I bought several styles of the Dansko clogs. Of the three this arch support fits me the best. I did not have to modify the footbed with pads. The other two were Dansko professionals but this XP style was by far the best fit. They fit comfortably and are very cute. I have gotten a lot of compliments on them. I have some minor back problems due to poor posture issues. When I wear my Danskos for a few hours, the good arch support greatly affects the comfort of my back. I would highly recommend. Plus it is nice to have shoes that look good but that are slip-ons and work great with socks.

Zappos has outstanding customer service! I ordered this in the vintage floral leather in my usual size 40. The right shoe was way too big and didn't seem matched to the left, which is something that can happen with danskos from time to time. I used live chat, and my exchange was processed and I got the new pair even before the original pair was sent back! Outstanding!
The second pair I received fit perfectly and seem consistent with my other danskos with one notable improvement: the insole. The pro xp has a softer footbed and better arch support. Also, the top of the shoe seems a bit roomier so there is no pressure on the top of my foot= no break in time. Plus, the pattern and colors are quite lovely. The inner leather appears to be white/ grey, so I am hoping that this won't stain my socks as the last pair of cordovan cabrios did. Couldn't be happier!
