US Men's sizing. Between sizes? Choose the larger size (e.g. size 9.5 then choose 10).

Dr. Donald Pelto

"I have been looking for a good-looking shoe to wear with my suits 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."

Dr. Donald Pelto

Podiatrist

Made with the softest full-grain American leather upper. Features a faux heel on the outside for a dressy look, while the inside stays completely flat with a zero-drop sole. A flexible outsole gives your feet a full range of motion, and a luxury insole adds a layer of cushioned comfort.
If you are between sizes, choose the larger size (e.g. US 9.5 then choose US 10). The wide toe box accommodates most foot widths without looking clownish. Brenston's leather is flexible and elastic — choose your size confidently.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple. Avoid prolonged exposure to water and extreme heat.

Never Tie Your Shoes
Never Tie Your Shoes

Non-Slip Sole

No one looks cool slipping, and it hurts. We've got you covered.

Flexible Outsole

A flexible outsole gives your feet a full range of motion with every step.

Straighter Posture
Straighter Posture

Heeled shoes tilt your hips forward and push your butt out, so your back arches to compensate. Zero-drop keeps your heel and toe level, so your pelvis sits where it's supposed to.

What The Experts Say

Trusted by Barefoot Enthusiasts

"It's so soft and tumbled that there's probably less break-in period than a one millimetre firm leather shoe — that's awesome. That alone to me makes the shoe worth it."
