Customer Reviews Dansko Brenna

These were cute but fit too big. Returning.

Really cute, comfy - love with my jeans. However the color is way more contrast than the the photo. I wanted all over brown, or slight difference in toe vs. heel - but it's a huge contrast! Can't upload a photo b/c too large. I'm going to take to a shoe repair and see if they can better "match" the toe to the heel.

Crazy uncomfortable getting them on because I have a high instep but love them when on.

These run really big, at least one whole size. Very nice though, I have ordered them in a smaller size.

Overall felt true to size and width. The arch is not nearly as supportive as the professional or the LP. For someone who does not like an aggressive support, this is the shoe for you. I prefer more support. The style is super cute!

This is the first time in a long time I've tried Dansko clogs, and overall they're heaven--not something I say often or easily. There is something of a learning curve, similar to learning to wear Crocs. Socks help (not silky ones). But once you're set, you can wear them barefoot or however you please. They are really really good for problem feet like mine (wide toe box, bunions, narrow heel, arthritis) and fabulous for the low back. No matter how long I stand in these, there is no ache. My only problem with these is that the surface scuffed immediately and continues to. Tried Scotchgard; it didn't help. So they've gone from looking sharp to looking pretty rough, and all I do is wear them tame places like the grocery store and the library. That's really frustrating considering what these cost. I guess next time I'll know to order a different finish. This one is going to shorten the wearing time considerably, because I'm past the age where grunge looks intentional on me. So that's disappointing, but the structure of the shoe is nothing short of fabulous.

I have stunningly flat feet and overpronation, so my footwear options are NB leather sneakers with custom cupped plastic orthotic inserts and Dansko Professional clogs, which have rock-solid arch support. My dr. said I shouldn't even wear the Pro XP clogs. A Dansko rep said I might be able to try the Brenna style, but unfortunately the arch support doesn't feel nearly as strong as the Professional clog, so I'm returning them, even though they're beautiful. For anyone who doesn't have my particular foot problems, I'd recommend them!

I get compliments on these shoes at work, they are very attractive and comfortable. However, they have stretched out and are now a little too loose for completely safe ambulation.

Comfortable and light, easy to wear all day walking around or standing. They are slightly narrower than expected but that was good for me. I wear a 38 in Sanita, I needed a 37 for these.

I want to love & wear Danskos but I have always had issues with sizing and fit with them. For shoes that seem to have a wide toe box, I can rarely get my size (10 to 11 US womens) on b/c the vamp is not wide or high enough for my foot. This one, I had to size up to a 41 to get my foot into it. If you are a 91/2 or a narrow 10 this size/style might fit. I also think the leather will scuff easily - this based on my size 41 Brenna in the same burnished suede - they scuffed in half a day's wear in the house only, but they are keepers so it's ok. This pair, going back. Thank goodness for Zappos.

FINALLY I can be a Danskos clog wearer! I want to love & wear Danskos but I have always had issues with sizing and fit with them. For shoes that seem to have a wide toe box, I can rarely get my size (10 to 11 US womens) on b/c the vamp is not wide or high enough for my foot. With the Brenna style, I was able to slip my foot in a thick wool sock in w/ only a little fussing - no need to sit or bend over, so great for house shoes you will kick on & off frequently. I've worn for several house standing doing work and that was great, too. There is a bit of rub that may need to break in over my bunion, but so far no blisters, so it should soften up. Wide enough base that I feel stable going up & down stairs and on unven ground (I have some ankle stability issues and my podiatrist recommend these.) Watch out for the burnished suede if you want your shoes to stay brand-new-looking- mine scuffed in half a day's wear in the house only, but they are keepers so it's ok.

These fit a lot wider than the Dansko Professionals they were slated to replace. Would be good for the wider-footed person. Didn't work for me.

These shoes are beautiful. However, the fit is off and I have to return them. I ordered my usual Dansko size 37 and, based on other reviews that said they run large, I also ordered a pair in 36. The 37 was much too long; I could put 4 fingers between my heel and the end of the shoe. The 36 fit well in the length, but the arch was in the wrong place for my feet. The light weight and cushioning would make them very comfortable if only they fit properly.

I got these shoes for work. I walk on concrete floors all day. The shies are working good. They don’t squeak and they have wonderful arch support. My instep is high and the top of my foot does push against the top of the shoe.

I read several reviews here that said the shoes were larger than their normal size. A few said they were true to size. Are usually either wear a 39 or 40 so I chose the 38and it is huge. I will try the 37but I haven’t gotten around to asking for an exchange yet shoes are great. But they just run very large.

Definitely size down. I own several pairs of Danskos and am always a 37. After reading reviews, I sized down to a 36 and they fit perfectly with enough room as clogs should fit. These are more stylish and less clunky than the Professional. I spend several hours on my feet at work and so far no complaints. Love the tan color but the suede makes them scuff easily.

This pair runs big, my usual size of 38 is way too loose in length and width. Placing an insole made it look like you wore an elevator insole, the foot looks like it’s floating inside the shoe and shoe will slip out.

I have the black ones and they are super comfortable. But I don't like the shiny part around the edges on the brown ones I ordered and I dislike that the base color of the brown pair is not dark but light. The black ones have a dark base and I like that better. So I'm sending these back. But I did find them to be true to size and very comfortable. I like that they are lower because I can't wear the professionals any more because I kept turning my ankle.

The size was fine but the arch did not hit right for me. I have a heck of a time finding shoes that my very flat feet are happy with. I like the look of these and was sad they had to go back.

These are very cute and comfy with socks. I like the height they give me as well. My one complaint is that they scuff and show the scuff too easily. Maybe it’s the lighter color but I wore them twice and it appeared like I wore them 20 times.

Beautiful, comfortable and stylish shoes, but they are not very durable. The suede uppers are quick to wear and to scuffing. After wearing about a dozen times, mine are showing creases and distortion in the forefront that I don't like very much. The leather is too soft, in my opinion. I really want a pair in another color for the style points, but I can't justify it knowing they will wear out quickly.

These were huge. Ordered a 37, which is my usual size, although sometimes I actually wear a 38 in Danskos with socks, and they were floppy in the heel, even with a sock!

Much larger than my Professional clogs. Sadly they went back.

I wish there was a narrow option

I've always loved Dansko clogs of any variety, and I was excited to receive the Dansko Brenna, but when I tried it on, the clogs slipped off my feet immediately. Way too wide! My foot just swam around, and even though the length was spot on, again, the clog is super wide and I couldn't keep them on my feet. Unfortunately, I'm returning.
