Reposhing these as I forgot the XP 39 is slightly smaller than the XP 2.0 39s. Difference between older/XP Danskos: usually are heavier, have a red star on the sole, zig zag tread pattern. XP 2.0 have all black star-like treading, are generally lighter. So if you wear 38 in XP, these will probably fit you. Will be too snug if you wear 40s. I wear 40 in XP, 39 in XP 2.0, generally a 9.5 in everything else. Minimal damage on the piping of left shoe. See photos. Bothe shoes have heel cushions (self adhesive), I've worked in restaurants for the better part of a decade and these are a must! My feet never pain after 8-12 hours of standing and walking. I find this version of treading "grippier" than the newer ones. Questions? Leave a comment below!
