Birchbury Reviews

Stop reading reviews and just buy the shoes. I'm really not a fan of "barefoot" shoes; I'm just in it for the wide toe box. However, these are really comfortable to wear all day—easily my favorite pair of shoes. I wear a size 14 in other shoes, and the size 14 fits perfectly. The toe box has the perfect amount of width and does not feel as though they need a break-in period. I was concerned I would not like the suede look of the shoe (I've never owned suede), but they look very good. The lacin...

Truly the most comfortable casual sneaker I have ever tried on. Straight out of the box they were supple, soft, and my wide-at-the-toe feet actually had wiggle room. I'm a wedding photographer and need nice looking sneakers I could wear all day and not have to think about, and I believe I have finally found them. Please never stop making these! Update after a few wears: they do feel a bit big/long, but not so much that they slip up and down at the heel at all, they still stay on great, even with...

I was sitting at work wearing my new Birchbury Bramfords when an email came through asking me to write a review. Given that this is my 3rd pair of Birchburys and that this is my new favorite shoe brand, I was overjoyed at the opportunity. I love the wide toe box, the fact that they are zero drop, and the elastic laces/slip-on ability. When asked about the sizing, I believe that it is very accurate, although I've had to adjust and realize that for my whole life I've worn men's size 12 in reg...

These are exactly what I wanted. As an attorney, I need to wear dress shoes every day for work, but when I'm at the office, I prefer to walk on a treadmill at my desk (usually 3-4 miles a day). Normal dress shoes kill my feet by the end of the day, but these Brenstons are extremely comfortable, and they look very professional. They're not the most fashionable dress shoes (although I don't know how you could possibly make zero-drop, wide toe-box dress shoes look any better), but they're definite...

I bought these for my husband, who needs zero drop shoes for his lower limb prosthesis. We’ve been hard pressed to find brown dress shoes that don’t look too off, and these were a great find. However, he said they’re not quite 100% zero drop like another brand he owns. He said these shoes have a slight difference because he can feel it in his prosthetic leg, which is totally flat. That said, he loves these dress shoes and is super happy to wear them. He loves the slip on feature and the wide toe...

At first I was turned off by the duck-in-bowling-shoes look of the toe box, but that quickly went away once I put them on. I could wear these shoes all day and not have a single complaint about my feet for once. My apprehension of the toe box shape is a bit of a moot point since nobody really looks straight down at your shoes anyway. I’m a 10.5 EE and I have struggled for decades buying other brands with nicer silhouettes but needed a 11.5 or 12 just to make up the width. Sometimes I would nee...

These are my absolute favorite shoes—so much so that I bought them in every color… only to realize the white pair is the one I truly love. They’ve traveled with me all over the world: from the United States to Europe, through Thailand and Southeast Asia, and across the Australian outback, hitting every major city along the way. Now, they’re the only shoes I buy. The white ones are my go-to because they match everything—whether I’m dressing up or keeping it casual. I keep one pair for everyday w...

The shoes meet my expectations. They are not as wide as other barefoot shoes, but are equally satisfactory. I scan wiggle and splay my toes with ease and comfort. They are attractive to look at and are a balance between regular shoes and classic barefoot. The leather is so breathable, flexible, and soft. The construction is very solid. The soles flex with the shoe and have not unstuck quickly like other brands. They run very exact to size, so definitely follow Birchburys suggestion to go up a s...

These shoes are so well made that they don’t fall apart. They are solid, stylish, and super comfortable. Easy to clean, but eventually they get scuffed from regular wear so I buy a new pair and start using the old pair as my gym shoes. Solid, stylish, and super comfortable. My feet have gotten so much healthier from consistently wearing these shoes, and I walk much more correctly. When I first started wearing them, 3 years ago, I couldn’t wear them for more than 2 days without a break because o...
