  • Dansko

    XP 2.0

    $165.00

    Strong match: Brand cites a patented slip-resistant rubber outsole + Dansko Natural Arch technology + memory foam cushioning + removable energy-return dual-density PU footbed + reinforced toe box + waterproof leather (this colorway) — strong healthcare-cluster signal that combines slip-resistance with shift-comfort. Ranks higher than Dansko Pro because the XP 2.0 brand page explicitly asserts slip resistance whereas the Pro brand page is silent.
