Are these comfortable?  I always found therm interesting but they look so stiff and hard.

 I have owned 3 pairs of the XP 2  which are really comfortable . Orthopaedic surgeon recommended the shoes to me. They are heavy shoes but a really good foot bed and wide toe area. They are expensive  heavy shoes , but if you have foot issues these a great.

 The ones QVC sells  are on the Dansko website abt same price & free shipping

Yes and no. I had a pair a few years ago that were the most comfortable sandals I ever owned. Based on this pair I purchased another pair that I eventually had to throw out because they were so uncomfortable. So I guess you have to try to see what you think.

@rms1954 - I had one pair years ago. They were adorable and were my favorite "dressy" shoes. They were black and brown so they went with everything, and they were SO comfortable. Paint got spilled on one of them. I tried everything, but couldn't do anything. I will definitely try them again!  Smiley Happy

I spilled turkey gravy all over my favorite suede shoes.  So sad when things like that happen.

Try them, you will love them.

 

Oddly enough the unbending sole is fine and absolutely wonderful for standing.  The molding of the inside is to die for.

 

Sanitas spun off a while ago, so look at them too.

 

They last and last.

 

I choose them the day I climbed the Great Wall in China.  Better than sneakers.

While my small ,etayarsal bone was healing, the podiatrist suggested Dansko shoes.  Went to a specialty shoe store but couldn't find one that fit.  Tried different sizes and widths to no avail.  Stayed with my Easy Spirits and a new pair of SAS loafer / mocassin type shoe.

Is the discussion on ALL Dansko?  Any certain style?  I prefer Fly London wedges.  I am on my feet all day.  I taught 37 yrs on tile, and have been in retail since.

When Dansko split with Sanitas, they wondered off a bit.  I am only addressing their clogs.  And Sanitas clogs.  

It is shocking how good a harder insole can feel.  They are always my choice for standing.  Often for a day of city walking too.

Some of my Danskos from maybe 6 or 7 years ago are still very nice.  Some of the styles I just loved fought with my bunion because the leather was very difficult to stretch added to some of my styles didn't have that slightly padded insole but what appeared to be a composite foot bed.  They DID have some amazing styles!  I got one limited ed pair with wooden bottoms!  The leather was SO rigid, even with my stretchers, they made my bunion worse.  I had it in black.
