I was hoping after wearing these daily to work for over a month, the shoes would start to yield and become a little more pliant. However, not a single centimeter have these shoes yielded. I've purchased shoe stretchers that didn't really work. So I spent a lot of money on shoes that end up smooshing my toes and are very hot. Part of the toe issue is the heel is very narrow and causes my foot to push forward in the shoe. The opening around my foot is also still stiff as the first day I put them on. I've gone back to my Softstar flats after suffering with these. I'm just bummed all around. Won't buy this brand again.
Thanks for your feedback, Jenna. It's good information to know that this specific fit of shoe doesn't work for you with Be Lenka. I'm bummed these didn't work out for you and we've all been there on our barefoot journey! You might be able to sell these and get some money back on them to go towards a shoe that suits you better. The Minimalist Shoe B/S/T group on facebook is great for that purpose. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our expert team in the future for assistance in shoe guidance - we have the best team!
There is a visible difference in toe box with between these flats and others from belenka. The suede looks high quality but I will be returning because it's too narrow. Removing the sole helps with volume but not toe box spacing.
These are pretty stiff after 4 all-day wears to work. I got 39 (I wear a 40 in Be Lenka boots). I am glad I was able to remove insole for more volume and the tan color is really great and neutral. I have to say the break in process of these is ongoing. No blisters, just a few red spots on my feet and yet the leather and sole are still not really breaking in. My Be Lenka and other brands I've purchased from Anya's shop usually break in after a half day of wear. I still think these are a great purchase! The Soft Star Ballerine has gotten much too expensive for me so I am really happy Anya is carrying this cheaper alternative that is very work friendly.
