These Dansko Brenna shoes are easy to use - just slip them on and go! They're great for casual workdays or weekend outings. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to clean off dirt regularly. Avoid getting them wet in heavy rain as much as possible. If they do get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. You can reapply a stain protector every few months to keep the leather uppers stain - resistant. And remember, these shoes have a special odor - control lining, but if you want to keep the fresh smell longer, you can air them out after each use.
