How Be Lenka fits

mixed toe box, wide width, mixed volume

Be Lenka uses several lasts, so I'd check the size chart for your exact model instead of assuming your size carries across. The sneakers are roomy and suit medium to wide feet, but the ballet flats and lined winter boots run snugger and lower in volume, so I'd size up in the boots and think twice about the flats if your feet are wide.
