What testers say: “These are awesome NB sneakers! The comfort is top notch and the quality is very high. They are surprisingly flexible both in the soles and the mesh areas, which allows ample movement of your feet. They also don’t get hot and are well ventilated for all day wear. They are absolutely worth it if you can score a deal on them. They are fairly wide in the toebox, but definitely more narrow in the midsole region. Overall, I love these as an every day shoe or for walking on all terrains. The sole is very durable and has ample grip. It also is a very stylish shoe and I feel I can wear them with almost anything.”

What testers say: “I normally wear an eight or eight and a half and I ordered this in an eight and it is perfect — even considering it has a very pointy toe. The leather is extremely soft and comfortable and my foot does not feel squeezed when I wear them. The fact that the heel is placed more toward the midsole rather than the actual heel of your foot adds to why the shoe is so comfortable to wear. Plus, it just looks so stylish. I know I will be able to wear for a long time. If you are on the fence, do it. You won’t regret it.”

What testers say: “I was very nervous getting a pair of Birkenstocks with an AA narrow foot and no arches. They are so supportive in the footbed and the break in process isn’t cumbersome. I love the option to tighten the buckle. The tightest option works the best for my foot. Very excited to have them and I’m debating on what color to get next.”

What testers say: “The Recon is not your father’s Stan Smith. It has all the characteristics of the classic with nice upgrades with premium leather, cool brown heel tab, a more refined sole and rubber bumper that gives the shoe more style and substance. You will want to wear to these boys to work and casual events. Very cool Stans!”
