Best Dansko Women's Pro XP Pull Up Clog Deals

Customer Ratings:

What can I say?

They are lighter than regular Danskos, which was always the gripe I had with Danskos.

They seem quite sturdy.

I haven't replaced the removal inserts with orthotics, and I don't think I am going to. They are quite comfortable the way they are.

The pattern is very pretty, but they probably vary pair-to-pair.

At the end of a 12 hour ICU shift, my feet are barely even uncomfortable, let alone in pain.

I am digging them.

Wish they weren't so expensive, but I will probably order another pair eventually.

Lastly, I am right at a 7.5/8 and the 38s fit great, with the expected little gap at the back that should be there.

UPDATE after ONE month of ownership:

The up side is that the shoes are more comfortable than ever. The bad news is that coating/layer that has the pattern is cracking/tearing. I only wear them to work and I haven't done anything crazy with them. However, I had my $35 Cherokee WorkWear shoes for YEARS before they started cracking. It looks like someone took a tiny razor blade to the shoe. I am pretty disappointed. They are supposed to be better quality. I could have ordered another pair of Cherokees and save $100. If there was a way to upload a photo, I would, but I don't really have the capability to upload an adequate video at this time. Maybe I'll get around to it one day soon. I would consider a return, but unfortunately, I am ONE day past the return period. FYI, if you contact Dansko directly, they tell you to contact the retailer you purchased them from, so I guess I am stuck with them.

PS. I bought them in the Painterly pattern.

Dansko Women's Pro XP Pull Up Clog

I was seeing a foot doctor because my feet hurt so bad. He was trying to get me to take shots of cortisone. But an orthopedic surgeon told me years ago never to do them. I was running out of options and nothing was working. Not even the foot doctors prescribed shoe inserts was working.

The first night I wore these my feet hurt but not as bad. Each night they got better until I became virtually pain free. They may be expensive but I wish I had bought them in the first place. I have no foot problems now.

My job requires me to be on my feet between 12 and 16 hours per day, 5 or 6 days each week. Dansko clogs have been a saving grace for much of my 15 year career, and are the only reason I am still able to work such long days. They absorb much of the shock from walking on hard surfaces, they accommodate swollen feet, they improve my posture which alleviates a lot of back pain -, and the extra thickness of the sole keeps my feet warm and dry whilst walking in snow and on cold surfaces. I've owned five pairs of Dansko clogs over the last 10 years, and I have worn all of them until the insides were shredded and/or the toes were worn through.

When it came time to replace my most recent pair, out of sheer curiosity and frugality I decided to compare Dansko to Sanita. I ordered 1 pair of Cabrio leather clogs and 1 pair of Patent Leather clogs from each company. The Dansko were the new XP, which purport to have memory foam inserts.

A number of years ago, I started ordering my clogs one size bigger than my normal shoes. I'm not sure why clogs fit this way for me, but I get better support for my instep with the larger size. Moreover, my first couple of pairs of clogs were so stretched out after a couple of months of "breaking in", that they no longer looked professionally appropriate to wear with my uniform. A lot of people complain that the toe box on both the Dansko and Sanita clogs is narrow. I find that the toe box is sufficiently roomy if I order the next size up. If it makes a difference, my normal size is an 8 1/2medium, but I wear a 40medium (9.5-10m) in both Dansko and Sanita clogs. Since I began wearing the size 40 clogs, the toe box holds its shape and the leather doesn't crack as much on the sides. Furthermore, I feel like my feet are better supported, and I really don't feel any additional slippage. Additionally, the heels of my socks last longer. I've now owned 3 pairs of Dansko clogs in the larger size, and thus learned that these clogs DON'T NEED BREAKING IN. In my experience, if one must "break them in", one probably needs a bigger size. This is especially important to consider if one purchases patent leather, as the plasticized leather doesn't 'give' enough to really accommodate much stretching.

Now for the comparison: there is no remarkable difference between the two brands EXCEPT FOR THE PRICE. Each leather type looks very similar to its counterpart from the competing brand. The Dansko XP "memory foam" insert doesn't feel any more cushiony than the Sanita insert; however, the "memory foam" insert does seem to take up a little more space than the Sanita insert, making the Dansko feel a little, tiny bit tighter. Also the Dansko XP insert is a lovely, soft leather, which is not personally preferable due to its tendency to break down from the continuous friction of the foot moving around in the shoe. The Sanita insole is soft yet durable. The soles or "platforms" look similar and feel the same underfoot. The staples are the same quality, as are the no-slip treads. Neither shoe has better "workmanship" than the other, nor does one "squeak" more or "feel heavier". They seem to be relatively the same shoes except that the Sanitas were 2/3 the price of the Dansko.

If you've never worn Dansko or Sanita clogs, or even if you've only worn Dansko, do yourself a favor and buy multiple pairs and do a fit/appearance comparison for yourself. Both Amazon and Zappos offer free shipping/returns on most shoes. Or, better yet, go get properly sized at a department store which carries the clogs. Many of my co-workers were able to be properly fitted for Danskos at Nordstrom. It is now my experience that if one wears a particular size in Dansko, one would likely wear the same size in Sanitas.

I'm keeping the Sanita clogs for the singular reason that they cost less.

Honest reviews on Dansko Women's Pro XP Pull Up Clog

I own quite a few Danskos but never the XP's. At first they didn't feel very comfortable (my others were comfy right from the start), but after a few wears they started to break in. They are very cute, and the insole is pretty nice, but they are a lot louder, and they have discolored my socks (not sure if this is just because they are new, or if they will continue to do so). Also, they claim that they are lighter, but I didn't notice a weight difference between them and my others. I don't know that I would purposefully go out and buy another pair of XP's, but these turned out to be pretty nice, and $60 cheaper than any of my local retailers. If you are expecting these to be way better than regular Danskos, don't get your hopes up.

Actually the size 38(7.5-8) I had to return. They were way too big, despite me wearing a 7.5 shoe. I returned them for the same shoe size 37(6.5-7). I love these !! I avoided getting them because I once tried them on and my heel slipped up & down, the clerk helping me didn't know if that was normal or not. After reading many reviews, I decided to get the Pro XP clogs. I work in the medical field, am on my feet for 8 or more hours a day plus do a lot walking. I see so many doctors, nurses, residents wearing Dansko shoes, I felt there had to be something about these shoes. I wore them for a week around the house, running errands & such before wearing them to work. This is my second week wearing them at work and at the end of the day, my feet & knees do not ache. I love the extra cushion insoles in these shoes. Glad I went with the XP show. I use to wear NB 608 before the style was changed. It has taken me about 1 1/2 years to find a shoe that I can wear all day and not have achey knees or feet. This is the shoe for me !! I think I may order another pair so I can have a work pair & home pair.
