“Love these stylish comfortable shoes that add an edge to my work outfits! I love wearing these with nice, cropped trousers or a printed dress. I bought the tan in this style too :)”
“My first pair of Bared shoes! I chose these shoes as I needed a smart pair to wear at work but they needed to be comfortable for long days standing.
They are very supportive, especially the cushioned sole. I’ve had a few blisters on the toes due to the pointy style but that is also because I’ve been trialling wearing them without socks and for 14+ hours!
I’ve found normal business socks too thick for them and am yet to find the perfect thin sock for them. Bear this in mind when getting fitted.
They are really sturdy, so far scratch proof (they get knocked around a bit) and everyone is always complimenting me on them. Would definitely recommend them.”
“I get so many great comments on these shoes! I changed the insoles to the smaller ones and it only took a few times to wear them in! So far no regrets!”
“These were my first bared shoes after strong recommendation by colleagues - true to their testimonies these shoes are very very comfy. No more arch aching at the end of a long day of standing and walking! They’re also probably the most stylish item I own as I always get complimented on them.
I am finding them quite difficult to wear in around the heel however. I have easily gone through a box of protective band aids and they’re still not worn in. Such a shame given the price.”
Hi Kara,
Thanks for taking the time to write your review! I'm sorry to hear you have been experiencing blisters with the Penguins. I've posted out some gel spots for you to try. These gel spots are designed to reduce friction and painful rubbing or blisters. All you need to do is stick the gel spots to the problem area in your shoe. Hopefully, this will reduce some of that rubbing.
Please let me know how they go.
Thanks,
The Bared Team X
“I have spent years wearing unsupportive flats for work and put up with the discomfort. I finally bit the bullet and bought my first pair of Bared and COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. These shoes have seriously been life changing for me - incredibly comfortable walking around the office and city for work, and the foot support has all but banished the issues I'd had previously - foot, back and hip pain is considerably less and the foot and calf cramps I'd get after particularly active work days on my feet are going. Writing this now, I'm embarrassed I put up with it for so long! I will definitely be purchasing more Bared Footwear in the near future.”
“These shoes are heavenly. True to size, super comfortable and perfect for both casual and dressier outfits. When they first arrived, I used the fitting pack but couldn’t quite find the right fit, as my foot kept slipping out. I contacted Bared and the customer service was incredible. They sent me a thicker forefoot pad, which resulted in the shoes fitting like a glove! Highly recommend :)”
“OMG, orthopaedic suggested bared shoes, I telephoned and ordered these shoes after finding them on internet. After intense surgery on my foot, I put these on and it is heaven. They wear and the comfort is like wearing a glove. Looking at buying the black lace up boots as I will never try any5hing else.”
