Dansko

Brenna

Women's

After ordering a 38 based on everyone saying these were too large, I exchanged for my usual 39. Here is why: the position of the arch. These clogs are meant to be loose and to slip off of your heel. If you go down a size, they will fit more snugly, but your arch won’t hit in the right spot. I have narrow, skinny feet, and I am 100% more comfortable in the 39 as a true 8-8.5. The 38 fit, but my feet felt like something was off. I hope this saves someone some exchanges! :)

The dusty brown Brenna is very cute. Like others say they fit differently than other styles of Dansko. However I don’t think it’s “bigger” I think it feels like right size if you have a wider or arched foot. I bought a 39 which is painful in other Dansko for me But on this style fits length wise and the top panel doesn’t push on my foot.

I avoided purchasing these clogs all winter because of the reviews that stated that they ran large. I’ve sized down in other Dansko styles before, but was never really happy with the fit so I finally bought a pair in my usual size 38. The fit is loose in the instep, but the length was perfect. Like the Professional style clog, this style has room for your foot to slide up and down while walking but does not have the padded instep which makes the Professional style feel a little more secure. The Bethann style also has a padded instep and fits a little more securely, but is the same length (see photo). I’m very glad that I didn’t size down, otherwise the arch would have been in the wrong place for my foot. This style is cute and comfortable, I’ll just wear a little heavier sock.

Fit feels like my previous Dansko clogs--loose which allows freedom of movement of your toes and heels. I am so glad that I was not deterred by another reviewer who noted that the brown/tan colored clogs are "catastrophically ugly". I disagree. They are two-toned in color, but that is clear in the pictures. the combo makes for an interesting color and texture. I wore Danko clogs for years, but stopped when they became very popular. I stopped wearing them because I I started running a lot (50-60 miles a week) and the heaviness of the clogs combined with the excessive running were just too much for my knees. To be completely honest, I also stopped wearing them because they are started looking a bit frumpy given the number of middle-aged women (like myself) wearing them...anyway, the roominess and support of Danskos converted me from a tight, uncomfortable shoe-wearing person to a woman who values support over fashion. Then I moved away from Danskos and onto FitFlops which are exceptionally comfortable and stylish. I missed the easy slip-on nature of Danskos and the extra height!! After 12-15 years of not wearing Danskos—I am back. The lower cut of these clogs, the lighter weight, and the exceptional color of these Brenna clogs have convinced me to return to clogs. I know that Swedish Hasbeen clogs are quite popular now, but they are too high for me. These look stylish and will be so easy and comfy for airplane travel. Thank you, Dansko and Zappos!

Based on reviews I downsized from my usual Dankso size 40 to a 39. Unfortunately the 39 was a very snug fit. I will be returning these for a size 40. I believe they would be very comfortable in my regular size.
