It’s no coincidence that the Dansko Pro XP is a style that’s ubiquitous in kitchens and hospitals alike. Professions that demand long hours of standing require a shoe that can take the heat of the kitchen (pun intended). Carrying the Seal of Acceptance from the AMPA (American Podiatric Medical Association) is just one of the reasons that this iconic silhouette has stood the test of time throughout the history of Dansko.
First and foremost, what sets the Dansko clog apart from other work shoes is the infamous rocker bottom. A “rocker bottom” denotes a sole that is thicker than average with a rounded heel. It allows wearers to shift their weight from front to back so they are never standing on a flat foot thus guaranteeing their foot does not become fatigued.
Roomy toe boxes and easy on-and-off access make this style incredibly desirable for busy workers. The Pro XP pairs well with a thick, wool sock in the winter, hosiery or just a bare foot in the summer. Because this shoe has lots of extra wiggle room, your favorite pair of custom orthotics will fit inside like a dream.
Slip-resistance is key when you’re working on hard surfaces where spills happen often. The Dansko Pro XP possesses a slip-resistant sole that secures your foot in case of contact with slippery surfaces.
Perhaps, best of all, is that the Pro XP comes in a variety of uppers. Dansko has gone above and beyond to make matching your mood to your shoes very simple. Whether you’re feeling a floral pair to match your bright, sunny disposition or you’re in the slumps with the Monday blues, Dansko has got you covered.
If your profession causes you to clock long hours on your feet, give the Dansko Pro XP a try. We’re confident you’ll be a Dansko customer for life.
