Customer Reviews Birkenstock Bend - Leather (Unisex)

This is my 3rd pair of Birkenstock Bend-Leather shoes. I love them and wear them most days. They are comfortable and a good all around stylish sneaker!

I couldn't love these shoes more! I have a very hard time finding shoes that work for my feet. I need a wide toe box, but a wide shoe overall is too big for me. I also have plantar faciitis and a history of surgery. The way the footbed molds to my foot is 100% perfect! The shoes have a wide toe box, so every part is a fantastic fit. They are so comfortable! I recommend giving these a try.

I love these - toe box is very wide and arch support is as amazing as any of my Birkenstocks. I can wear them for hours and they're great with a dressier pair of slacks. I have these in 3 colors - including the discontinued silver that are my go-to dressy shoes for Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, etc. (for reference, I have bunions, plantar fasciitis, and residual foot pain from a break a couple years ago)

I wear a men's 42 in a Birkenstock sandal. My toes went to the very front of the BEND shoe. I therefore returned my original order and purchased the next size 43 which gave me the room I needed. I had a very severe case of plantar fasicitis from which I have recovered. I wear Birkenstock sandals always. Highly recommend---and now have ordered my first pair of BEND shoes.

The perfect sneakers when my feet need the support of my birks. A little stiff in the toe when walking, but hoping they will soften over time. I did go one size up from my sandal size. In my normal size, my toes were hitting the end of the shoe. One size up is perfect.

Purchased my regular Birkenstock sandal size (36 regular/wide and they fit great. They take a long time to break in, but worth it. I usually can’t wear this style of shoe, the toes boxes are all too narrow, so I am psyched to have these. I also have a pair of the Oswego (very similar but slip on/no laces.)

I ordered a size up to a 38 narrow instead of the wider foot bed. They are so comfortable and fit great. In sandals I wear the 37 and wider footbed. I have them in pink suede too.

This is the third pair I have purchased for a familymember. They are worn for work with constant standing/walking on concrete 8 hours a day. Painful plantar fasciitis symptoms went away within a few days of wearing them. I do have to replace them every six months or so, but well worth the money! Zappos had the best price.

These are sized strangely. Normally, I wear a 10. Ordered a 10 and they were a half size too large. Ordered down to the 9, and they were too small. Wish they had worked because they look great and have great arch support.

Very nice “sneaker-look” shoes. However they run a little small and tight. Will be returning due to tight fit. Per Birkenstock rep, with covered shoes it’s best to go up a half size both in length and width. I did not know this.

They start out a little stiff but after wearing a while they soften up. I really like them and am considering a second pair. Being unisex I had to order a narrow and still have plenty of room in the toe box. I will say they are a bit heavy but after usually wearing hoka any shoe will feel heavy.

Highly recommend. These are the most comfortable walking shoes! I was so glad to find Birkenstock sneakers but sadly could not make the sizing work. I tried at least 3 different pairs before giving up.

Though I normally wear a M width, the narrow was perfect in this sneaker. From the box this sneaker is comfortable. Worn for 8-9 hours on the first day, neither my feet nor legs had any soreness or pain. Love these!

I purchased these because I have very arthritic feet and Birkenstocks are the only shoes that I can wear without foot pain. With that said, a shoe rigid support works best for me. This shoe, even though it’s a sneaker, is NOT a soft, cushy, pillowy shoe. The support is rigid and firm. For me, they’re great! If you wear Birkenstocks often you’ll love them.

I bought these shoes to wear when I walk 18 holes of golf. Most golf shoes do not have enough overall support to be comfortable waking 4 hours. So far, the Birkenstocks have worked out well.

Love these!

The smooth leather gave the casual silhouette a touch of class, making it versatile enough to be enjoyed in various environments. This shoe’s lightweight, low-key profile easily pairs with various outfits to match your requirements for stylish footwear. I was impressed with this footbed’s ability as a shock absorber, taking in most of the force that resulted from my continuous walking on hard floors. This made it possible for me to walk for hours without encountering a great deal of pain, as the cork-latex material absorbed the shock and prevented foot fatigue from setting in.

Partner is still wearing these two years later.

These shoes are great! This is my first pair of Birks. They fit well and have a wide toe box. I recently had foot surgery (big toe fusion) and I only have one pair of shoes that fit right now due to swelling. I bought these hoping I’d be able to get them on my foot so I had a neutral color shoe to wear with my business attire. I was pleased that they went on. They have a hard bottom so it keeps my toe from feeling like it needs to bend. They are a little heavy.

This shoe is excellent. I’m normally a 39 in birk sandals and have worn birk for years. If you have never worn birk, they come with an elevated arch for extra support (especially for those of us on our feet all day). I went up one size to a 40 and they fit perfect. I did try the 39’s and they were too small for comfort. They are the perfect white shoe as this seems to be so in style but so many do not have support. These will be so good for anytime of year but especially in the summer. A definite must have and so glad I purchased.

Great shoes! I purchased because I love Birkenstock sandals, and they are great if you love Birks. Unexpectedly, I find that I like them even more with my custom orthotics. I have tricky feet and my orthotics don’t fit well in much - and they certainly don’t fit well in anything stylish. But I tried them in Birkenstock Bend, and they are just perfect! I’m thrilled. I wear a 40 I’m Birk sandals, but needed to size up to a 41 to wear these comfortably, even without the orthotics. Aesthetically, these shoes can’t be beat. They are the perfect white leather sneakers. I love them for work, or just about anything else.

I really wanted these to fit, but the 41 was just a little too short. I normally wear a 41 in the sandal, but the closed toe was too short.

I was hesitant to order these after reading the reviews, however, I am so glad I did. I love them! I cannot walk in anything other than my Birkenstock sandals, I tried their workbook which while it did take a little getting use to (slightly different than the sandals), I love them. The sneakers are just the same. Put them on first day and was in them over 12 hours with no pain! Highly recommend.

I am on my 3rd pair of Birk Sandals.. and ordered some unique ballet flat shoes to wear while teaching last year and love them! I have only had these for one day— but have worn them walking a lot and they felt great out of the box. I am a 40 in sandals and a 41 narrow for shoes. My toes need more room if something is covering them. That may be the case for you too- so consider ordering a size up as well!

Very comfortable. I can stand/walk all day in my Birkenstocks without foot pain.
