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!

I just received the new Dansko XP, well at least at think it's a fairly new Dankso style, and it's really great! Awesome foot bed, and even the sole is great. I'm sure happy with this new style!

This is a great shoe for being on your feet all day. It took me a couple of days to get used to the footbed but now they are very comfy and my feet don't get tired. At first the leather on inside heel rubbed off a bit on my socks (I have narrow heels so this could be more about my feet) but the shoes don't do that anymore.

Dansko Professional clogs are great, and these are even better. I wear 7.5 and had to size down instead of up on the XP. For me, they are worth the extra expense because they feel so amazing and are non-slip. They are my go-to shoe all winter. I do miss the stapled look, but that's a little thing.

I absolutely love these shoes. I have never been able to buy Dansko's before due to the width of my foot but these were absolutely the perfect fit. I am on my feet 8-10 hours a day, working for an airline, and I go home tired from work but my feet and legs still feel good at the end of the day. They are a bit pricey but they are worth every penny.

When I first wore these shoes, my arches were sore because of all the support. I have never been able to stand on cement without my low back hurting bad. That has changed, thanks to these shoes! I was amazed - love them!! The shoes are roomier than expected, so I just wear thicker socks and I'm fine.

I love the Pro XP in the Lilac Moray. It is a fun color and texture. I own many Danskos but find this model to be the most comfortable. I wear my usual 39 in this style and in all my others. Try them out!

Never had purchased Dansko in past because I am cheap and thought they were too expensive, but excruciating heel pain prompted me to see podiatrist who recommended these shoes. I needed no break-in period as my coworkers said they needed with other Dansko shoes. They are worth EVERY PENNY. I, Miss Cheapo, am going to buy another pair. My feet are worth it and deserve it, especially working 12 hour shift as nurse. I tried on other Dansko pair of shoes at local retailer, but these were by far the most comfortable. I have not regretted the purchase as I have with other sneakers I had recently bought and now cannot wear because they cause me too much heel pain. I didn't purchase my original pair through Zappos, but will purchase through here because my son has purchased items on this website and recommends them.

I was frustrated with my regular Dansko clogs because they're just so hard on the inside. I stand in a pharmacy all day and when I saw these, I took a gamble. I've been wearing Dansko clogs at work for years, but they were starting to feel uncomfortable by the end of the day. The description mentioned foam cushioning and I figured that would be the solution to my problem. It definitely was! Same fit and all around comfort, but the cushioning helps my feet not feel so tired. I would definitely recommend them.

I am a nurse and on my feet for 12+ hours a day. I have tried all kinds of expensive athletic shoes, even Z-Coils, but Danskos are the only shoes that have ever kept my feet, ankles, and knees from being sore at the end of the day. I have always bought Dansko Professionals in the past, and was always very satisfied. The Dansko Pro XP is amazing! The cushioned footbed is beyond wonderful, and I like the new soles. I will definitely be buying another pair of these soon to wear at home. Some reviewers state the sizing was off in comparison to the Dansko Professionals, but I ordered my regular size and they fit fine. (I have narrower feet.) I have nothing but great things to say. I bought the dark brown and they are beautiful. I plan on getting black next.

Just as comfortable as my other Danskos but this sole has much better traction, a necessity for slippery Colorado walking. Fun pattern but could have been printed better (finer resolution). Still, love the shoes!

I bought a pair of regular Pros from a local retailer and loved them, so the next month I ordered the Pastel Bouquet Pro XPs from Zappos. These are the comfiest shoes I have ever put on my feet and I teach lower elementary school, so I'm up and on my feet most of the day. I got lots of compliments on the look, and people also commented on how comfortable they looked. Well worth the money!

The best shoe ever. So comfortable you can wear them for hours. I live in these due to the comfort and arch support Dansko provides.

This shoe is a wonderful choice for anyone who is on their feet for extended periods of time. It takes a little time to get used to the structure of this shoe. Once that has occurred, you will love them. My back and legs have never felt better. Well worth the money.

I have always worn quite supportive athletic shoes to work for my long days as a nurse but felt my feet were still very tired at the end of the day. I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase my first pair of Danskos because of all the positive reviews but mostly because I work in a pain clinic that deals mostly with painful foot conditions and I see first hand the damage done to feet without the proper footwear. I couldn't be happier with the support and feel of these shoes! I liked this particular style of Danskos because of the removable insert that I can switch out as needed even though they generally run for more. I know that some people have stated that they had to break in the shoes because the band that runs across the top of the foot can be tight and wear a sore. I had no such problem and wore my shoes 8 hours /day for 5 days straight without issue. Love them!

This is my 2nd pair of Dansko's and the first pair I've owned with memory foam. They are as comfortable as a pair of sneakers for those who are accustomed to the fit of a clog. And well worth the price difference from a standard Dansko clog. Easy to scuff but also easy to remedy. I will be buying these shoes again -- from Zappos. As always, never a shipping issue -- and what I ordered is what I received. Perfect every time.

I have worn the Dansko for work for several years and decided to try the Pro XP. I love these! Much more comfortable, especially if you are on your feet for long days!

I have been giving my mother grief for years over these shoes. I just couldn't understand why she would wear such an odd looking shoe (let's face it - they're not the most attractive shoe). However, after running around in a pair of Dansko Pro XP's for six hours at my new job, I truly get it. My feet have never felt better. The foam insole is insanely comfortable. It's not too hard and not too soft; it offers just the right amount of support and cushion. For some, the arch support may be lacking a bit, but I have a feeling they didn't put an exaggerated arch in their insoles so as to accommodate as many feet shapes and sizes as possible (just a note: the insole is removable and can be replaced with something else). I ordered these in the "Ebony Pull-Up" and the leather is as pictured. I typically wear a size 6 in women's shoes so I ordered a size 36 in the Pro XP and they fit perfectly. When I first tried these on, I didn't realize that my heel was supposed to move freely, so I thought they were too big. However, after being informed of the recommended amount of space between your heel and shoe (about a centimeter), I kept an open mind and continued to walk around for a while until I decided that it was actually quite enjoyable to have my heel move around a little. When I say my heel "moved freely" i don't mean that the shoe was slipping off of my foot (or that it felt like it was going to), it just felt like my foot had some room to breathe. My toes had plenty of room in the front as well. I could wear these with or without socks, though with socks is my preference as it adds a little extra cushion. The nonslip sole is a huge plus if you work in a cafe or restaurant environment. Highly recommend these shoes. Sorry for teasing you all those years, mom!

More comfortable than the original Professional clogs! I didn't think it was possible. These have much more cushioning in the footbed, but they still have the arch support that I need. I find that all of the newer Dansko styles run a bit big compared to a few years ago, and this one is no exception.

This is a well made shoe worthy of all day wear. The non-slip sole really works well. Top notch easy-clean leather + construction with a foundation that adds more spring than traditional wood clogs really helps. The sole's rocking function really helps gait and posture. Nice shoe.

Zappos ships so fast that I was wearing my new shoes in two days after ordering. These are the most comfortable Danskos ever. And I've worn many styles. Pro XP is the best!
