Favorite shoe for sure ! Love the style, fit, and feel. Will be purchasing other colors. I work long hours on my feet for up to 12 plus hours and these shoes are amazing!

these shoes are just a bit small but they have stretched just enough over time, the fact that birkenstock stopped making shoes larger that size 46 or 13 US tells you they dont really care about us bigger footed people.

It was great quality shoe. The arch support really bothered my feet. We all have different toes/arches/heels- they won't be the 'perfect shoe' for everyone. I wish I could've worn them.

These sneakers are really great! I love the look and the comfort is perfect. The only thing I can say that may be considered bad is that they are surprisingly hot. My feet were too hot on an 80 degree day. Maybe my socks were too thick but I’ve worn my socks with other shoes snd didn’t feel hot.

I love these shoes! They have the comfort of Birkenstock sandals in a cute style. I ordered my usual Birkenstock size and the fit was great for me. I am on my feet all day and find these to be very supportive and comfortable.

These shoes (size 42 Narrow/ Medium) fit me perfectly and is exactly the style for which I was looking! I can wear the Narrow width with thin socks very comfortably, which is what I was hoping for. In Birkenstock sandals, I wear a 42 Regular. I own the Gary lace up in a 42 Narrow/Medium, and I find them uncomfortably tight with this socks. I was skeptical about the Bend in 42 Narrow/ Medium but decided to give it a try after reading other reviews. Glad I did! In fact, I took advantage of Zappos excellent return policy and ordered the shoes in both Narrow and Regular widths. Honestly, I didn't even try on the Regular because the Narrow fit exactly how I want them to. The arch support feels exactly as I expect - a few years ago a podiatrist examined my feet and my Birks (sandals). He said that the Birkenstock footbed is perfect for my feet and recommended buying Birkenstocks or their insoles instead of having custom orthotics made. So glad Birkenstock came out with this sneaker style.

I had originally ordered these leather sneakers in a 37 and 38 narrow width and they didn't fit well. I tried putting extra insoles and using different socks and they still didn't fit well and it was too much work. I returned them and tried the 37 wide width and they were perfect! Now that I know my best size I will be able to order other shoes with confidence!
Love my Bend low white leather tennis shoes! ?

I love these shoes. Classic Berkenstock soles. Super cute style. I know I am going to a lot of years of wear out of these.

These have the comfort of the Birkenstocks I expected, and the tennis shoe support I needed. Love them! Usually wear an 8-8.5, ordered a 39.

I ordered the same size as I wear in Bostons (39N). These things are awesome. I feel surprisingly sexy from the ankles down. Rare that I wear shoes for no reason (which is perhaps a problematic admission on this site), but here we are.

Fit was good. I’ve worn other Birkenstock shoes and this shoe had accurate fit.
My only complaint is Zappos used my credit card which I didn’t know was stored in my account instead of using my award card I received from my employer despite me entering this card info

I bought these shoes for an upcoming trip with a lot of walking. From the minute I put them on, they were extremely comfortable. Great shoes! I am a longtime Birkenstock fan. The comfort cannot be beat. I highly recommend these shoes!

I typically wear US size 9.5 and (size 40 in my Birkenstock sandals). I have a fairly high instep, wide toe box, and narrower heel. I ordered a 40 regular. The tongue and ankle surrounding is cushy but not too bulky. Leather is nice and soft. I like that they don’t make my feet look clunky, just a cute, old-school sneaker vibe. I love them!

It fits well, but I upsized. I normally wear a 43 in Birkenstocks, this felt better as a 44.

38 was nice and roomy, maybe a little too roomy for my size 7.5 foot.

Most comfortable shoes ever. Can Ben worn without socks and feel like my sandals. Stylish and good quality as always. Want more colors. Great for wide feet and comfort.

I love these. They feel just like the Birk sandals but they look great in a more professional environment. I got the white last week. I have a pair of brown on the way.
