Meet Kris Mae Weiss

This former NYC Elite Model turned photographer is a wife to a photographer and a grand daughter to a photographer. So it's no surprise she is comfortable in front of AND behind a camera. We knew this collab was going to be a good one!

As mom of a one and two year old, Kris knows that comfort is nonnegotiable these days. She shows off her personal style and black BENDYs four ways: Date night, heading the the farmers market and chillin' at home.

Her genuine smile, effortless vibe and beautiful photography come together in perfect harmony in these images.

And she has some pretty sweet words to describe her kicks too:

"They are THE MOST comfy shoes EVER".    - Kris Mae Weiss

About Us: We are so happy that you discovered us! I am the Mary Sue and I am the co-founder of BENDY by Ashbury Skies.  After spending my entire career in the shoe business and I was feeling increasingly uncomfortable with how most big brands shoes' were made AND what they were made of.

We decided to design and manufacture a shoe that is:

1) Planet Friendly, with a low carbon footprint.

2) Sourced from solid, transparent businesses I could build long-term relationships with.

3) Ethically made, with fair worker wages and no child labor.

4) Locally handcrafted in California.

5) We did all of the above without sacrificing comfort, style, or versatility. BENDY is extremely popular with women (ages 25-70) who are on their feet all day or those who have given up on uncomfortable shoes but have NOT given up on style.

6) The secret sauce in our shoe? Our footbed uses a deep-cushion technology for superior comfort and breathability. This along with the flexible bottom and buttery soft, breathable, Italian leather make our shoe very different than other shoes.

Major Press too: Our shoes have been featured in Fodor's Travel (In fact they included us in their top stylish, travel shoe guide last year), Forbes, Fast Company, 7 x 7 magazine and Eco Watch.
