Customer Reviews Dansko Pro XP Professional

I love, love, love these shoes! They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. The XP offers wonderful added arch support and cushioning. The shoe seems lighter in weight and has skid resistant treads on the bottom. I am spoiled by the XP now. I love the look of the texture, too. It is super attractive and I receive many compliments! Treat yourself to a pair of XPs! You deserve their stylish comfort!

I love these shoes. It did take quite a while to stretch out the top of the shoe. Still actually may have to take in to have professionally stretched, but I have a high arch so that is a problem area for me. Otherwise, could not say enough about how great they are and how comfortable they are. Sad that it's spring as I don't think they make great spring/summer shoes.

This is my first pair of Dansko's and I love them. I find them even more comfortable than my good cross-training athletic shoes, and they are now my go-to everyday shoes. I tried the Dansko Professional on, but found the Pro XP to be more comfortable. I also like the looks of the stitching better than the staples. I typically wear a 6, and the 36 fits well. I have "skinny" feet - not exactly narrow but thin, plus a high instep - often have a difficult time finding shoes that are not too loose in the toes and/or too tight across the instep. These are terrific, and I just ordered three more pairs of Dansko sandals to try.

The minute I received these shoes I put them on and an immediate difference in my foot and back pain (from arthritis and working in a restaurant). I love the non-slip on them and cannot wait to wear them into work! I would highly recommend these shoes to someone who is on their feet all day or just needs a good pair of shoes.

These are absolutely the most comfortable shoes you will ever wear! I work 12-13 hour days on my feet. I know that if I am wearing my Danskos I can go all day without my feet and back hurting. I have a pair of both the regular Professionals and a pair of XP's. Both are amazing, but the XP's are definitely softer and comfier inside.

Another winner from Dansko! I bought the floral pattern. Very pretty! The Pro XP has a nicely padded foot bed. Not too much padding, just enough. I am a size 8 US but always wear a 39 in Dansko. If you find the regular Dansko too hard/stiff then you will want to try the pro XP. Also, your foot is supposed to move up and down in the back. I can stick my finger into the space at the back of my Danskos. Think of them as fitting like a backless clog would, but with a back for occupational foot protection. It should not rub your foot or cause blisters.

Amazing shoes -- definitely be prepared to be have a finger's worth of space between your heel and the back of the clog, which I think is ingenious. They give me the comfort of a clog but the support of a closed shoe. Your heel is free to slide up and down without having to touch the shoe -- weird at first, but then you realize, "Wow -- this makes sense!" I have ankle troubles due to a back break and the highest arch ever -- these shoes help both those issues. They seemed pricey, but the comfort is worth it. For what it's worth -- you see the pink in these shoes the most, even though there is also gold and greens. I just play up the greens -- they are fun! Thank you, Zappos, for a well made shoe. My foot is forever grateful!

Dansko Pro XP is a BEAUTIFUL shoe! The coloring (brown) and the leather are primo, primo! Characteristic Dansko fit with wide toe box, cushioned insole and heel cup that naturally slips -- much like a clog-type shoe should and when walking. The arch support is fantastic. And, the clunking sound seems to be less pronounced in the this style than in other Dansko Pros...and, that's a very good thing.

If you have narrow feet, your toes will bump against the front and this was confirmed by a friend who is a nurse. You either love them or they just don't fit, and the latter is typically due to foot width. Nice shoe but fair warning for narrow footers!

These shoes go with everything and give your feet great support. Dansko does it again. Zappos is the best with its free delivery and returns! Thank you Zappos.

Love the color! First order the shoes were too small. Second order, same size, they fit just right. Danskos are individually stretched, so one must keep trying. At first I thought they were too stiff but after a few days they seem wonderful and the support is great for lots of standing.

The only thing my feet love more than a pair of Danskos is a pair of Dansko Pro XPS. They are comparatively more comfortable in the footbed with a higher quality sole and stitching. They are well worth the money. I purchased the 41 black patent.

I have owned many pairs of Dansko professional shoes. This is my first pair of Dansko pro xp. Love the xp, the cushion really made a big difference. I will definitely be owning another pair. The moray leather is shiny, shinier than it appears online. Highly recommended. Thanks Zappos, you are the greatest!

Fantastic clog. I've worn them for years but not the pro model and I'm impressed. Right out of the box I wore them daily with thin socks for a walking tour of the holy land. Had colder than usual temps and that was fine - feet never cold. Also uneven surfaces and lots of stone streets. Even in wet there were no slipping issues. The pattern is really nice with good pants at night,

Love Love Love these shoes! I'm a resident physician, which means I'm on my feet about 10-16 hrs a day. I used to wear my Nike running shoes and end up with pain at my arches and heels. As soon as I started wearing these, the pain suddenly went away. It took about a week to wear in but once I got used to them, I cannot imagine wearing anything else to work.

These are the most comfortable Danskos that I have had. The sole is nonslip, the bit of cushion to the sole feels like heaven and supportive. I will never be able to wear the professional again. I got one size bigger than normal. Either they run a bit smaller or my feet grew.

I am really happy with this first Dansko purchase! I recently had a lower back injury and am a hair dresser so I'm always on my feet. These have been great on giving me the support I need! They also were bigger than I expected and they made it extremely easy to return! That was the best part. I never left my house! And with an injured back and young children that means a lot.

Being a nurse, I have worn Danskos for 8 years, and wanted to try the Pro XP. I ordered the 41, and it felt tight across the top of my foot, so I ordered the 42, which felt tighter than the 41. Not sure what is going on. I decided on the 41, wore it all day this week, and it has already loosened up a bit to be comfortable. I work 12 hour shifts, and no other shoe works but Danskos!

Most comfortable shoe ever. Just don't think I will wear this color much but I am exchanging for another color. I cannot wait to wear them.

I have five pair of Dansko Professionals and have been wearing them for years. With two bad knees which can also lead to hip pain, these are the only shoes that allow me to be pain free. Non-skid soles are vitally important to me. The Professionals are okay, but they can still slip on slick surfaces. The XPs are great! Truly non-skid bottoms and with cushioned, removable inserts they are worth the extra price. However, my only complaint is they do not make the XPs in a narrow size. I have to buy the Professionals in a narrow size to fit well. I had to buy the XP in a smaller size to keep them from falling completely off the foot - that causes one toe to rub a bit.
