“Bought the Plover after seeing it modeled in a magazine worn with a pair of camel coloured tailored pants. These shoes are sturdy, classic in design and the tan goes with everything . I love the androgynous design as I don't wear fussy or frilly clothes. They will take time to soften up but like all of Bared shoes and boots your persistence pays off. I would compare it to wearing a new pair of jeans. After a few wears they mold themselves to your foot. Customer service was exemplary as usual. Thanks Bared!”
“I purchased these beauties in ice suede and I just love them. They go with anything and I get compliments on them all the time. I am a devotee of Bared's shoes since being recommended them by my podiatrist as I have a bunion and need to wear orthotics. On my feet all day at work, my plovers were so soft and comfortable from the first wear, needing no wearing in at all. With the adjustable footbed, there is plenty of room room for my orthotics and width for my bunion. Comfort AND style for my fickle feet, a rare combo I couldn't find in other shoes brands.”
“These are extremely versatile shoe and can be worn with just about anything. I did have to play with the innersoles at first as one of the shoes hurt the top of my foot. I also tried a few difference socks, loosened up the laces and worn them in a bit. They are perfect now and I can wear them all day. I get a lot of comments from all ages.”
“I love these shoes! I got them in the yellow suede and they are the perfect combination of comfortable and eye-catching. Plus the yellow suede is easy to pair with outfits and actually doesn't mark very easily. They are true to size, I have a wide foot and they fit really nicely.”
“These shoes are a little ray of sunshine. I have the yellow ones which are my fave colour. Bonus points for the craftsmanship AND being able to wear orthotics without!”
“I own the pale blue version of these shoes and absolutely love them. It admittedly took a few wears to “break“ into them (kept rubbing against side of ankle initially) BUT the leather did soften and mould into my foot eventually. These shoes have been a real pick-me-up especially during COVID times. In Melbourne, we haven’t been able to move around much, but if I need to duck out for essentials, I team up my plovers with my jeans and I instantly feel better and can leave the house with motivation and a sense of purpose. Thank you Bared for creating such lovely, practical yet stylish shoes. They have given me joy and a sense of comfort (both physically and metaphorically speaking) in an otherwise very bleak and uncertain environment.”
