“I really love the look of these shoes and they’re perfect for work! Despite being advertised as better for narrow feet they fit my wide feet and orthotics well now I’ve worn them in. I also had a positive experience ordering online after trying in store because my size wasn’t available.
I’ve ranked them four stars because the leather on these shoes is particularly hard and it’s been a really long wear in process compared with other leather lace ups I’ve had. Bared helped by providing gel spots, but I’ve also used stretch spray, double socks and a lot of walking to get them right. I found the heel in particular to be quite pinchy and hard to wear in.”
“These are a fantastic pair of shoes. They look so good, but offer fantastic support. The description says narrow fit, but I haven’t found this to be the case. I own a pair of the ‘ducks’ and these work better for me. The come quite high up the foot and are adjustable with their laces. I can’t wait to get these out and about!”
“I've been wanting to buy myself a pair of Bared shoes for long time but kept putting it off. I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a proper pair of shoes after being told by 3 other physios that I wasn't wearing proper "shoes". Definitely worth it as I've had this pair for almost a year and they still serve me so well. Super comfortable, supportive and looks good with everything.”
“I bought these looking for a work shoe that I could comfortably wear all day. I have a hard time finding sufficient arch support in shoes without them being too 'orthopaedic' or 'old lady'. I was very impressed! I can easily wear these all day, and they add a great dressy edge to my work outfits.
My first experience of Bared and of the plover. Love it! Very close to getting another pair in black!”
“After reading some other reviews I was a bit worried about the time it would take to 'break them in'. I commute and didn't want them to rub on my feet . But I wore them a bit over the weekend and they seemed fine and so I wore them on Monday — absolutely perfect! Bit stiff to get on but they'll soften.”
“I love my Plovers. I'm on my feet 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, retailing, lifting, stretching, walking and climbing!
Nothing is too much for them. So tough. The soles don't wear out. Amazing
Thank you Bared for saving my feet.
I get so many compliments and recommend Bared to everyone who wants to know.”
“Plover is my second pair of Bared shoes and they are a great fit for my narrow feet. I can comfortably walk in them all day, sometimes even speed walking from meetings to meetings!
I absolutely love the pale blue colour and get so many compliments.”
