Customer Reviews Birkenstock Bend

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these sneakers! I wear 38 in Birk sandals, I got the 38 narrow and the fit is perfect from the get go. After one day of wearing they fit like a glove and are sooo comfortable. I walked around all day in them and my feet were fine. I have feet issues: bunions & a hammer toe and have to wear good shoes. I live in my Birks & these sneakers are perfect when it's not sandal weather. BONUS, they are so cute & stylish!! (I'm a 68 yo Grammie :-). I bought them in white, black & the silver, thinking I will decide & keep one color. Silver won, however, see my pictures, the metallic quickly scuffed, this was after only 3 days of regular wearing. I called Zappos & their awesome customer service said I had a defective pair & quickly sent a replacement. I am on pair #2 silver, & they are again scuffing. I called Birkenstock & they said that is to be expected with the color, sad face. I will decide, but I may still keep the silver, tho for the price they should not scuff, but I love the color so much and they go with everything. Dilemma. Side note, I will be keeping either the black or white also..... They are that good of a sneaker!! (I still gave them 5 stars even with the scuffing issue) BUY THEM if you are considering at all.

The quality and design is on point. Living with Plantar fasciitis and other feet and toe issues, including bunions, and this shoe is my holy grail, seriously, unbelievably comfortable. suggestions: -offer more colors including metallics???? -offer some with vent holes or mesh, especially for summer or hot weather but don’t mess with the footbed and sole. Multiple colors. -offer a platform style, multiple colors. Thanks a million Birkenstock you hit the mark with this one, hope you never stop making these.

I've waited so long for the company to make a "sneaker" I can wear. I have narrow feet and the toes need a wide toe box. After reading other critiques I decided to order an 8, as a 7 in my sandals fit perfectly. The fit is roomy without my feet getting lost in shoe space. I'm very happy with the silver and get compliments. The laces are long enough for someone with a high arch. Like others, this pair is one of several I own. Did I mention how comfortable they are? I sometimes forget I have them on!

YEAH! So fashionable for a Birk and I am in love! Very comfy and cozy day one. Compliments from all. What a blessing to be comfortable and cute for once!!

Purchased in the fashion forward silver leather and love them! The leather is beautiful and soft. Silver like optic white will go with anything. This Bend sneaker will be worn with jeans and pants of various lengths now into Spring and with dresses, and skirts later Spring into Summer. Superbly comfortable and supportive as expected from Birkenstock.

It was love at first sight. I’ve wanted a metal sneaker that gave my high arch good support. I am head over heels for these shoes. Instantly VERY comfortable. No rubbing or irritated areas with my first couple of wears. I was also buying thinking they may not work for my needed wide toe box but they’re a perfect fit there, too. As another reviewer warned - within a short period of time of my first wear I had “scuffed” / removed the metallic in one area. I’m not sure how well they’ll hold up in the long run in terms of staying super pretty but they are so comfortable, supportive and cute I don’t care!

SO comfortable! Love these shoes. They look adorable too.

The shoe is not comfortable. I am very disappointed. I never order shoes online because I know it is a gamble. I have one very comfortable loafer style Birkenstock pair and so I decided to take a chance because I really like the look of shoe. I can wear it, but only basically at home. The shoe is stiff and uncomfortable.

The silver is super cool. I ordered my usual size EU 39/8.5 and it was just a tiny bit short in the toe area. I had to return them, but if the next size up becomes available I am going to snatch them up.

Great shoes-stylish, comfortable, and sized right for a narrow foot

The silver color was a little scary when I ordered, but when I received them, they really looks great. I ended up with a size 42 in this even though I wear a 39 in sandals. I know I'll be wearing heavier socks so the larger size helped and I didn't want my toes rubbing up against the front of the shoe. The 41 would have been fine if I knew I'd be wearing thin socks. I have custom orthotics for plantar fasciatis (sp?) but don't need them when I wear Birkenstocks, in fact, the Birks are better than the orthotics.

LOVE these shoes!

Wow! I love this Birkenstock. The very best sneaker choice-color and comfort! Thank you!

Great shoe. Unique, stylish, and comfortable. The 11N fits wonderfully.

Perfect fit. Can't wait to try them out tomorrow when I go for a walk.

Where have these been all my life - so comfy and the silver metallic is amazing

I live in birk sandals all summer....now I can live in these sneakers all year round. Love them!

I have had serious foot surgeries so shoes are an issue. I just received my new Bend pair and though they are not wide, they fit great. I really like the tongue as many shoes have stiff toughs that wear on the leg. They are heavy but don't feel it when wearing them. This was a good find and thanks for the comments of others.

The length was perfect, the width just on right foot a little tight by my right ankle bone and was rubbing.

Bling! Bling! Bling! These silver shoes make a statement. I wear 6.5AA & there are very few companies that make this size. IMHO, these are B width so I’m wearing thick socks & pulling the laces tight. The toe box is ginormous!

Although the description states this she is narrow width it is far from narrow. Very wide and runs big. Attractive style but had to return

It was very uncomfortable.

I hav tried multiple times to own/wear a pair of Birkenstock shoes but they are not comfortable for me. I give up on that brand!

If you are looking for a narrow width shoe this is not it. I ordered these shoes in my usually size 8 narrow. They were so wide I think the box fit my foot better than the shoe. I returned them and customer service was excellent as usual.
