Bramfords are my new favorite sneaker!
It has a lot of room in the toes, it's not pointy. It's stiff in the mid-sole and heel for support. It's easy to get on, and it has a zero heel-drop."

Love my new Birchbury sneakers, such great quality and wonderful service.
Thanks
These look and feel great. I am normally a women's size US9 with wide feet. I bought the Men's 8 and they were perfect. Very well made shoes.
I currently have gout!
And the only shoes I can comfortably wear are my Bramfords.
Thank you Birchbury.
Hi Stanley, we wish you a speedy recovery and are happy to see that our shoes are able to provide you some comfort!
Thanks - Birchbury team
Very difficult to find a decent shoe and in big size as well in New Zealand. Tim helped out by communicating of the arrivals.
Purchased a while Bramford and will get another pair different colour soon.
Birchbury Bramford - White 11.5 US Men (EU44) Style: 10 I’ve been looking for a pair of good looking, high quality, white leather shoes for a long time. I love this timeless, minimalist tennis shoe style. Well done Birchbury. These shoes are absolutely gorgeous and can easily be dressed up or down. The elastic laces are an added bonus! Quality: 10 Beautiful soft leather, with a stitched sole. They have just the right amount of underfoot cushioning and are very light to wear. Width: 8 I have extremely wide, high volume feet which completely fill the width of the shoe, however I’ve can even wear the shoes with toe-spacers because the leather is so soft. The shoes are comfortable straight out of the box, but I’m hoping they become more so as the leather adapts to my fat feet. I’m usually size EU44 and these shoes have the perfect amount of room in front of my toes. Happiness: 10 I’ve purchased a lot of barefoot shoes and most of them haven’t reached my expectations. The Birchbury Bramford, in white, is a great looking barefoot shoe!
Hi Tim, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We understand how hard it can be to fight the right pair of barefoot shoes and are thrilled that it has met your need your needs!
Minimalist & Barefoot Sneaker
Most designer shoes have a narrow toe-box which are bad for your feet & toes.
At the same time, most "barefoot" shoes are just unappealing.
Bramfords combine the best of both worlds.
A comfortable sneaker when flip-flops aren't appropriate.
Your minimalist shoes for a night out.
WIDE TOE-BOX
Let your toes spread out the way nature intended them to.
NEVER TIE YOUR SHOES
Bramfords come with elastic shoelaces that allow you to slip them on & off.
Bramford's laces never come undone from walking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is non-slip black Bramford?
Hotel & restaurant staff often requested non-slip shoes. We upgraded all black Bramfords to non-slip at no additional cost.
The durability of the non-slip sole is slightly better. The non-slip sole has an initial rubber smell that wears off in a week.

How to determine your shoe size without a printer
Wear the type of socks you'll wear with your shoes and measure your feet in the afternoon (feet tend to swell during the day).
1. Place a sheet of paper so that it touches the wall.
2. Now place your foot on the sheet, making sure your heel touches the wall.
3. Trace your toes.
4. Measure the distance between the wall and the tip of your toes in centimeters.
5. Take that measurement and compare it with our printerless sizing chart above.
