“Love the concept and suitable for work, but I can't wear them for long without my feet getting sore. Unfortunately I did get some blisters wearing them. I was so hopeful about the shoes but want meant to be.”
Hi Pauline,
Thanks for your review.
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing blisters in the Rhea's.
As unpleasant as they are, blisters the first few times you wear a shoe are not uncommon and will usually resolve themselves quite quickly. In such cases, we recommend wearing your shoes around the house with socks or stockings, massaging the leather to help it soften more quickly and using a soft tape or blister pads to cover the susceptible areas of your foot.
Also make sure you give your feet a break! If you have any sore spots, take the shoes off and don’t wear them again until your feet have completely recovered. Otherwise you’ll just keep exacerbating the same spots over and over again. Also keep in mind that our shoes come up higher at the back than most other brands. So people often find that their first pair of Bared gives them blisters but after that, they’re fine.
We look forward to hearing how you go with the stretch spray that we've posted out.
Kind Regards,
Bared Footwear
“I have the Rhea in leopard and love them. A great alternative to a high heel with a suit, and the leopard just pops when you are wearing black. You know you are onto a good thing when you can't stop admiring your own feet!! Now i have my eyes on the gorgeous green ones!! Velvet or leather?? Love them both”
“I cannot wear these shoes without getting compliments all day long. They are the perfect touch of leopard in my wardrobe. Originally purchased a size too small, but the exchange was free and effortless. The next size up fit my foot perfectly width and lengthwise (i have a wide foot). I did have some rubbing on the tops of my toes but it may just be how I walk. x”
“Love love these shoes. I have the leopard calf hair as I wanted something that goes with most things but isn’t black. These fit the bill perfectly and I get lots of comments. They did take a while to wear in on the pinky toe side of one foot but all good now. Comfy and sexy - what more could you want!”
“These shoes are amazing. Very comfortable and the green velvet is much more vibrant they look online. I get lots of compliments every time I wear them.”
“Every time I wear my leopard calf rheas I get so many compliments - they look absolutely amazing on, and are super comfortable too. I really had my doubts as a long time high heel wearer, but these still make me feel as stylish without the pain!
The customer service at Bared is also absolutely amazing - quick to respond, really helpful, they will do whatever they can to make sure you really feel great about your purchase. Since buying these I’ve bought a pair of Bared’s ballet flats and now have my eyes on some trainers...”
“Love my new Rhea heals and so happy with the silver colour that goes easily with my wardrobe. Comfortable from the first time I put them on and are just get better with each wear. I feel they are timeless, comfortable and I would recommend them to you.”
“I wore these for the first time today and everyone is commenting on them. Total strangers are coming up to me and telling me how awesome my shoes are. Not only that, they are comfortable!”
