Key Features
Performance
I've mentioned the versatility of these shoes briefly in my intro, but this has got to be one of the features that appeal. The Dansko XP 2.0 is perfect as a work shoe for professionals such as doctors, dentists, and nurses due to their comfort and roomy construction. It is perfect for feet to have the flexibility and space it needs when you're on your feet for sustained periods.
It is also perfect for pairing with jeans, dresses, and casual clothing to give you that easy look. The materials are robust and will provide your feet with protection from the ground below you, as well as any loose ground you may encounter.
Features
Leather Uppers
Always a winner, leather is both a durable and comfortable material that wears well over time and is giving so the foot won't feel too closed in.
They are also waterproof adding further benefit, meaning you can use them in both summer and winter.
EVA Midsole
Always a favorite in my eyes, EVA is a compound that helps disperse weight in the shoe and provides stability. This foam-like material is both lightweight, flexible and a cushion for your foot to lay on.
PU Footbed
This organic polymer is known for its resilience and compression resistance, It provides more comfort and the natural arch technology included is a stabilizer designed to bring even better arch support.
Toe Box
The roomy toe box is perfect to give your toes the space they need to wiggle around freely, rather than being suctioned down. There is nothing worse when your toes feel squashed and they become painful with the tension.
Cushion
The XP 2.0 is perfect for cushioning your feet. It has a padded collar to give the ankle a more comfortable experience and the addition of memory foam means your feet will feel like they are resting on a pillow.
Price
There is no point in denying the fact that the Dansko XP 2.0 is an expensive shoe, but they have some fantastic features that are beneficial for any type of usage and will be long-lasting.
They are crafted with experience, expertise, and knowledge so to expect anything less than 'expensive' would be foolish. What I will say is that I am positive the quality and longevity of these shoes will make their expensive price tag a distant memory.

Comparison to Similar Clogs
Alegria Classic - Another robust clog with similar features to the Dansko XP 2.0 but with the difference of being backless. These clogs offer comfort and breathability, boasting a slip-resistant PU outsole, latex-and-cork footbed, and the choice of multiple colors. The Alegria classic is a summer classic.
Klogs Footwear Mission - Very similar design to the Dansko but available in a mass of different choices, the Mission is a clog designed for all-day wearing in all environments. They benefit from a padded collar for more comfort, a latex-free footbed that is odor resistant, a Maxum slip-resistant outsole, and at just 11oz, they are extremely lightweight.

Verdict
his classic Danish shoe has a mission to provide comfort and an easy ride all day long.
The one thing that I would say is that the Klogs Footwear Mission I mentioned as a good contender comes in a lot more choices.
