Customer Reviews Dansko XP 2.0

I was disappointed that the shoe felt like it ran a little short in length, and that the toe box seemed shallow (my large toe not only was touching the end, but pressed against the top of the shoe. I knew they would not be comfortable for this reason and returned them.

I've worn Dansko Professionals for over 20 years and love them. I wanted to like the XP 2.0, but all four pairs of shoes SQUEAK. This same thing happened with a pair of Dansko Maryjane's that had the same sole. I kept those for several years, they were comfortable, but they never stopped SQUEAKING. Can't go there again. Please improve the soles.

I felt this shoe was way too wide in the heel and not wide enough in the toe box. The arch is placed so that it hits my foot in an uncomfortable way. I purchased a 9.5 wide as I have before with good results in Kloggs.

The leather uppers are just too stiff and after multiple twelve hour shifts, I decided these are not for me. Despite fitting in the suggested size, the uppers still rub on my pinky toes. The inserts in the XP 2.0 really don't do much for me as far as padding the bottoms of my feet. I can't imagine trying to replace the insert because that would just make the fit tighter. I tried to make it work but I've worked on my feet for 17 years and these may be the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever tried so hard to make work. To summarize - the bottoms of my feet would hurt, my pinky toes would hurt. The only thing that didn't hurt was my back.

Ever since I discovered Dansko's, I've almost exclusively buy this brand. I've also gone through 2 original professional clogs. However, these XPs are not comfortable becuase of one area. It's so stiff in the area where covers to top of one's foot. I was hoping they'd soften up by wearing them and it's been a month and still so stiff. Because I'e worn them outside, I cannot return. The good side is that they fit me better in the width, bcz my feet are on the normal to narrow side, so compared to professionals, these run a bit narrower.

The arch of these shoes did not hit my foot in the right spot. The heavy insert made my foot feel like it was coming up out of the shoe and not really in the shoe. The shoes made me feel like I was going to twist my ankle. I love my other Dansko's but not a fan of this new XP 2.0 at all.

After wearing these for many long shifts, I’m really not impressed. They offer more support than very cheap service shoes, but don’t seem worth the price. The hand stapled (or sewn?) stitching alone the sole is really sloppy and the black coating is already wearing on some of the stitching. The black patent is good quality and holds up against scuffs. Overall I’m really displeased that I spent so much money on shoes that seem worth half the price.

I replaced a worn out pair of tooled leather Dansko Professionals with these XP 2.0 shoes. The short story is that I hate the new style. They feel squishy and clumsy and my feet overheat.

The band that hits the top of the foot really rubbed and put a lot of my pressure on my foot. After a 12 hour shift my feet were killing me! Would have large red marks on top of foot and skin around big toe would be white and numb like. Unfortunately, this will be my last trial of Dansko for a work shoe! Also, rolled my ankle several times wearing these.

Purchased 3 months ago and the shoe is already coming apart

Something bizarre in the fit of the heel. Ordered two styles of Dansko clogs. This one definitely being returned.

I don't know how these are considered the number 1 restaurant shoe. They were as comfortable as a wooden clog. No support, no cushion, no give. Very disappointed

At least one size bigger.

There is something on the top inside of the left shoe that is hard and rubbing on the top of my foot - I think it is a manufacturing issue?

Sooo disappointed in this! Definitely not the standard quality of Dansko. Upper shoe looks and feels cheap.

I don't get why people rave about these shoes. The upper is as hard as a rock, and weirdly isn't even shaped like a foot. I had to check twice to make sure I didn't have them on the wrong feet. They're going back.

I have been wearing Dansko for years and have replaced a few pairs after my puppy chewed on them so didn’t immediately inspect them when they arrived (as always fit and were consistent in quality) when I went to put them on this morning I realized that the insoles were completely missing and there was some sticky tape inside where they should have attached to inside. Odd. Looks like quality control was asleep at the wheel. Will return and likely try again

I ordered a size 6 thinking would fit me but to big, so I returned the item got a refund back and ordered size 5-6 still big on me so not sure what size really fits me because I’m usually a size 6-7, I’m so disappointed I’ve been waiting to wear my shoes to work

Not sure what happened to the Dansko product. Been wearing them for 20 years but in the last 5 years, I can not count on the sizing to be correct. Sometimes they are too small but mostly too big. I never know what you're going to get. Bought a new pair for a wedding only to find out on the night before the wedding that that they are way too big. With that said, try them on as soon as you get them.

These shoes did not fit my feet at all. Gapped in the heel area. I think they were the correct size, but did not fit my feet.

I have never received a pair of shoes from Zappos in such horrible condition. One shoe had the right side staples completly ripped out. They were obviously worn and dirty. For the full price I should receive brand new shoes not shoes that have been previously worn

I was really excited about these and I love my other Danskos, but I couldn't even get my foot into this pair. The instep was super tight even though I do not have a high instep. The length was about right and if I removed the footbed, I could fit them on, but that eliminates all the cushioning. Sadly they had to go back.

The instep was too far back on my foot, so the shoe rose and hurt my foot. The heel is low, and slips off my heel. Feels like the shoe rocks me backwards on my heels, more weight on my heels.

The shoes are fine. Zappos sent me used shoes. I can’t pay full price for used shoes.

I bought these shoes from another retailer but am reviewing here/everywhere to raise awareness of how dangerous these shoes are. While simply walking in clinic they caused my ankle to roll with serious injury. I have spoken with over 20 other health care professionals so far with similar experiences and have seen multiple online.posts about this issue. Buyer beware!
