So it makes a lot of sense that putting a foot that is widest at the toes into a shoe that is narrowest at the toes would be quite uncomfortable. And it gets worse: Evidence increasingly points to footwear as the cause for the bunion epidemic that rages in industrialized cultures. And yet few people question the pointy shape of most shoes.
SIZING INFO: I am a size 6 in shoes so I get a size 36 in Golden Goose and wear a small ped sock. (I love these from Amazon!) I have a narrow foot and they fit perfectly. Golden Goose sneakers run wide so keep that in mind if you are in between sizes! I always tie mine!
Having a narrow foot these are a godsend! The velcro obviously gives you a nice tight fit on your foot. BUT this pair in particular has the shearling lining making them insanely cozy. They come with a regular leather insole but they also come with shearling insoles that you can swap out the leather ones for and put these in. Game changer. I was wearing them at first with just the leather and they were really comfortable but once I put the shearling in the sneaker got a complete upgrade.
This goes without saying, but another option here is buying pre-loved, as those sneakers are likely already broken in. (And typically about a third of the price of new ones.) You can obviously also buy new on eBay!
I am republishing this Birkenstock Bend sneaker review because, since my original publish date, I have worn these on travel, walking several miles. I also saw they are available for sale at different retailers and Birkenstock has also changed their sizing concept for their sneakers. I have updated with the latest information.
I felt the Birkenstock Bend sneakers looked dorky. Photos of them online made them appear very bulbous at the toe, and the visible strip of cork was distracting. I was used to such issues with comfort sneakers; they always have some extra unnecessary detail to ruin any style. But then one day at a coffee shop, I saw a woman in a pair of these sneakers and she changed my mind.
The woman was standing in line, wearing the Birkenstock sneakers with no-show socks, cropped wide-leg jeans, a black Chanel-inspired cardigan with gold buttons, and a tucked-in white Isabel Marant graphic t-shirt. She had a brown woven leather bag over one shoulder, small but sculptural gold hoops in her ears, and aviator-style glasses. She looked to be around my age, Gen X. She looked effortlessly cool as she placed her coffee order.
I recognized the sneakers by the cork footbed, otherwise, I would have thought the sneakers were by a brand like Vince or Tory Burch. They didn't look bulbous or dorky, they looked expensive and refined. Knowing they were comfort sneakers made the whole look even cooler. That evening I went to my computer and ordered a pair of them in white leather. The influencer was influenced!
I usually purchase my shoes through Zappos or Nordstrom because both offer free shipping at any dollar amount and easy free returns with an extensive return window. I bought my Birkenstock sneakers from Zappos, knowing they would arrive quickly and I would have time to try them on and style them at home before deciding whether I would keep them. However, I find Nordstrom replenishes sizes more quickly.
Reader Kristin was looking for the regular/wide version and reached out to Birkenstock. She notified me that Birkenstock is no longer offering the two different widths and that the Bend will only be available in one width, which is the Narrow/Medium version. I have seen these shoes sold online at different stores as narrow, narrow/medium, and medium.
I went to two different shoe stores this summer to try the Birkenstock Bend, neither store offered sizes and these shoes fit exactly like the pair in my closet. To ensure what I had was not a medium/wide or wide version I ordered a second pair from Zappos in the only size available in white: Narrow. Dear readers, this shoe was NOT narrow. It fits exactly like the pair I already owned.
I know this is terribly confusing, which is why I updated this post. I believe we are in the middle of Birkenstock changing their sizing terminology and some sites have caught up and others have not. I have a feeling in a few months I will have to yet again redo this review with the latest sizing terminology. But in summary, Birkenstock Bend sneakers only come in one width these days and it is plenty roomy for wide feet.
The white Birkenstock Bend sneaker has a smooth leather upper, with a microfiber interior lining. The sneaker has a removable, anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed that supports the arches of the feet and cradles the heel. The sneaker has a midsole made of PU and cork; you can see this in that strip of visible cork. The cork helps with shock absorption. With a rubber outsole, the bottom of these sneakers has the same iconic pattern as the Birkenstock sandals.
If you are looking to buy these leather Birkenstock sneakers in white, you may be confused by the different ways they appear on different sites. Depending on the retailer's photography, these shoes may look blindingly white, white with beige soles, beige with beige soles, beige with tan soles, off-white with beige soles, or off-white with matching soles.
I am not one to buy an item and immediately write a review. I need to LIVE with a product, give it weeks or months to see how it truly performs. And after three months of wearing these sneakers walking miles on gravel, concrete, asphalt, and cobblestone, and standing on hard surfaces for long periods, I believe I can provide an honest and valuable Birkenstock Bend sneaker review.
I'm including pictures of my well-worn and well-loved Birkenstock Bend sneakers. I haven't polished them and besides cleaning off the soles after a muddy or dirty day, I haven't cleaned them. However, doing this sneaker review has inspired me to take a Magic Eraser to the soles, condition the leather, and wash the laces to keep them looking and performing great for a long time.
In my list of the 6 best white sneakers for grown women, I share tips on how to keep white shoes looking great; those tips would work great for Birkenstock Bends. And since these shoes are smooth and flexible leather, an occasional treatment with leather conditioner will keep the leather soft and protect it from the elements.
The cork midsole really does seem to prevent shock absorption, as I find these shoes a great choice when you are spending a lot of time on your feet. In fact, I find these sneakers more comfortable than my Birkenstock Arizona sandals for days when I will be standing for lengths of time.
While not super sleek and low profile, the Birkenstock Bend is no more chunky or bulbous than leather sneakers from popular designers like Cole Haan, Tory Burch, Vince, or Rag & Bone. The smooth leather finish and minimal decoration make the Birkenstock Bend look expensive and elevated. These are sneakers you can wear with leggings or jeans, but also with nice trousers and skirts for office environments that accept more casual footwear.
I have worn my Birkenstock Bend sneakers with cropped wide-leg trousers and jeans, full-length wide-leg trousers and jeans, straight-leg jeans, midi-length dresses and skirts, casual jumpsuits and overalls, Bermuda shorts, and t-shirt style dresses that hit around knee-length.
This photo shows my Birkenstock Bend sneakers, the top shoe was never cleaned, the bottom with the soles cleaned with Magic Eraser. While Magic Eraser does clean and brightens the soles, you can see they have yellowed a bit more than the weather with exposure and wear. I've read you can use a mix of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to whiten soles; I haven't tried that because I personally don't find the contrast to be a problem.
If you're a regular Birkenstocks wearer, especially the sandals, you know this issue. Your feet spread and get all relaxed and happy in Birkenstocks and it is a struggle to wear any other kind of shoe. I find that with the Birkenstock Bend sneakers, I don't even want to wear my cushy athletic sneakers because the comfort and support don't compare.
I have been a fan of HOKA sneakers for years; I wore them for a 12-day road trip a couple of summers ago. But now, my HOKA sneakers pale in comparison to the Birkenstock Bends. I've found Birkenstock sandals to be a poor choice for a lot of walking but these Birkenstock sneakers provide the best of both worlds while having a more polished exterior!
I had the Birkenstock Bend sneakers on my mind for a long while because you, the members of the Wardrobe Oxygen community have recommended them. I regret not listening to you sooner! Do share in the comments your thoughts on this sneaker, as well as any other shoes you recommend for great support with great style!
Great review! I used to be in pain *all* the time because I work on my feet up to 13h a day. I went to physical therapy twice a week and my PT recommended the Birkenstock sandals. I went a step further and ordered a pair of the bend mid sneakers. Now I own three pairs of the bend mid in different colors and they are the only sneakers I wear.
I was also a huge fan of Doc Martens and was devastated I could no longer wear them. Fret not, I bought the Birkenstock Birmingham oiled leather and it gives me the same look without killing my feet with plantar fasciitis!
All my shoes nowadays are Birkenstock and I have never looked back
