Customer Reviews Dansko Bethanie

I was soooo excited!!! These were the boots I was searching for. I own, and have worn through, many pairs of Dansko of various styles throughout the past 2 decades and I always fit into a 37 perfectly. I have been searching for waterproof ankle boots with a flatter sole so I can walk to work in wet weather and I knew these were the golden ticket! These boots however, were oddly large in 37. I had found them in a store but not my size, and just for kicks had tried 36s to see what they would look like and of course they were just a tiny bit too small. I was banking on the 37 for a perfect fit and they are absolutely Not in all ways. I couldn't be more disappointed about sending back a pair of shoes/boots since they almost a size too big in length and width. What happened Dansko?!? I'm so bummed. I ended up finding a pair of Born that are not only a better fit but instantly comfortable.

I bought these last year and wore them EVERY SINGLE DAY, in all weather, through fall and winter and the start of spring. I wear them a couple of times a week now, but they squeak, which bugs people in the office. Still comfortable, and with TLC, the outer leather will last a while longer.

Love these boots! Super comfortable straight out of the box. Not as much support as a typical Dansko, but still comfortable. Haven't tested the waterproof-ness yet, but love that they're advertised as such. Works great with socks, leggings and a fall dress.

These are super comfortable. Love the support.

These boots are great except they run a little large. I ordered my usual size 40 (US 9) and they were a little too loose in the ankle to walk comfortably. I ordered the size 39 as a replacement with the hope of finding the perfect fit. The burnished toe looks great on the gray!

Absolutely love these boots. Walked for 5-10+ miles daily for 2 weeks in Europe in these without any foot pain or issues. Waterproof in rain and snow. By fair the most stylish Dansko shoe I've ever owned. Liked them so much I bought a second pair.

I'm in love. These booties are super comfy, toe box is wide enough, buttery soft leather, perfect size, nice looking even with dresses and skirts, good, relatively quiet sole, so no cluck clucking, no awkwardly placed seams, plus a zipper to make putting on and taking of easy-peasy.

I love chelsea boots, but have not been able to wear this style in ages, as I need at least a small heel or I will have arch pain at some point in the day. I came upon these when looking for waterproof boots and did not expect them to work but I loved the look so I gave them a try. I ordered my regular dansko clog size - 41, and these fit perfectly. I've only worn them for a few hours at a time, but so far have had no pain at all. The shoe itself is beautiful, and does not look like a typical waterproof boot, so they're great for work or play.

Love this boot. Are usually wear an 8 1/2 but I ordered a size down and wear with thin socks. Very cute and comfortable. Bought 2 pairs.

I love these shoes. They are the best looking waterproof shoes I have ever owned. The arch support is great and I love the length of the shaft, longer than the usual shorter shaft booties. The only thing worth noticing is that they run slightly narrow. They are still ok, and the leather will stretch a little, but if you have feet that are slightly wider than an medium width shoe, they may not be super comfy at first.

These were comfortable and waterproof but I found something else a little edgier, which fit well too.

I’ve only been wearing them in the house but right out of the box they have been comfortable. I like that they don’t look like my Dansko shoes. Wish they had a taller boot. Will add to my review once I wear them outside.

Hallelujah! These are the stylish, comfortable boots I've been searching for. Worth every penny! I have had heel pain due to plantar fasciitis for 6 months. Dansko is the only brand that is comfy. I love my Dansko clogs, but these! These are cute and amazingly comfortable. Just the right amount of lift in the heel and arch support.

I bought the spice burnished, and it's a mellow red/brown color. I am usually a 40 and the 40 fits me well with regular socks (they don't need to be too thin). There is a nice, reasonable heel on these boots. The soles are a little flexible (compared to the stapled clog), but insoles can be added. Since I just got these, I haven't walked very far in them yet. Looking forward to wearing them this fall and winter!

Fit is good- but be warned- these scratch VERY EASILY. First day normal wear and the toes are scuffed. Not thrilled given the brand and cost.

The boots are beautiful, but if you have a wide instep, you might have difficulty getting your feet into them. I unfortunately couldn't get mine inside and had to return the boots. (If the zip were in the back instead of the side, as is the case with the Dansko Becki which fits me great, this wouldn't have been an issue as the foot would enter from the back and would simply need to be slid forward).

Nice booties. These fit a bit too large for me and unlike most Dansko shoes, would have needed to have their insoles swapped for more supportive ones. Still, really liked that these were waterproof and would have felt safe and secure for walks in even rainy weather. Sadly, they were too big; heels slipped and slid, so they had to be returned.

The fit was good, but I would have felt a bit more support with an insole. The weatherproof aspect was great, but the durability of the shoe was disappointing. The shoes scuffed day one and the heal material came apart after a holiday season of wear, one week. Sadly, I'm returning them. If they were under $50 I could understand, but these are Dansko's and I expect better quality.

I am looking for a boot with great support that I can wear from the train to the office. These boots a very comfortable but I could not see wearing them in my corporate environment. They look like galoshes on my feet. And the squeak like galoshes when I walk! I am willing to sacrifice a little style for comfort but this boot was just not attractive to me and I can't see it fitting in with a work dress or slacks.

I wanted to love these and replace a worn out pair of grey boots I have. Unfortunately, the height seemed awkward, too tall for ankle jeans, too short to tuck in. The fit was good, just as I expect from Dansko but the grey leather was fake looking. Plasticky and an unnatural color.

These boots are very pretty but they are not very comfortable to me. I’ve only worn them 3 times so it may take time to break them in. I have a pair of Dansko Paisley sneakers that are extremely comfortable so I hope theses will break-in soon.

Very awkward height. Taller than a bootie but shorter than a standard boot. Doesn’t look right with leggings or skinny jeans.
