I recommend them to all my patients!
I have been looking for a good-looking shoe to wear with my suites that have a wide toe box for years. I recommend Brenston to all my patients who want comfortable and fashionable shoes that are good for them.

Minimalist & Barefoot Dress Shoe
Most dress shoes have a narrow toe-box which are bad for your feet & toes.
At the same time, most "barefoot" shoes are for casual attire.
Brenstons are your barefoot dress shoes for work or special occasions.
FAUX-HEEL ON THE OUTSIDE
No heel on the inside.
Brenston has a zero drop heel.
WIDE TOE-BOX
Let your toes spread out the way nature intended them to.
NEVER TIE YOUR SHOES
Brenston comes with elastic shoelaces that allow you to slip them on & off. Brenston's laces never come undone from walking.
FLEXIBLE
A flexible outsole gives your feet a full range of motion.
SQUISHY INSOLE
Feel the ground while being protected.
ULTRA SOFT
Made with the softest full-grain American leather available.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Customer Reviews
I have had some emerging foot pain from my previous shoes. Since getting these I have been able to ease that pain whilst keeping my business attire standard. The quality is great with lots of room inside. Certainly keen to get some casual shoes too!
Hi Geordie, thank you for the review and really great to hear your foot pain has improved significantly! Thanks again for supporting us and hope you enjoy your casual shoes when you get them!
Impressed with the comfort. It is a bit visibly wider but the comfort and flexibility more than redeems that. They are my office shoes now, my feet feel fine after work.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear the comfort and flexibility make them a great choice for the office and we're thrilled they’re keeping your feet happy.

I have foot issues and the wide toe box is very nice. It is a little light on padding underneath the foot but I understand that what the barefoot feel shoe is. Really like them and considering buying the sneaker now.
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 definitely appropriate for business attire, and they're the best looking barefoot dress shoes I could find.
The fit was perfect, the materials are quality. I'm not sure how i feel about the elastic show laces at this time. I'm going to give it some time. Overall, i think its a good shoe

Frequently Asked Questions
What is non-slip black Brenston?
Hotel & restaurant staff often requested non-slip shoes. We upgraded all black Brenstons 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.
