“I love the look and colour of the sandals but unfortunately the backs of the sandals dug into my ankles. Blistered and the bled badly. Hoping I can find a way to soften them up so I can wear them again.”
“Purchased these sandals for my holiday. Didn't get a chance to break them in before I went. After a couple of wears and several bandaids, finally they are broken in! Great sandals. I also bought the black ones. Love all my Bared shoes!”
“Absolutely love my tan Robins. By far the most comfortable sandals I've owned (and it's been a lot!). They look great with dresses, shorts, jeans and skirts...everything! Can't wait to live in them during Summer!”
“I loved the look of these sandals with the rose gold but they do mark a little bit /difficult to clean. I also had issues with the blistering on R heel/ usually its the L foot but it took 2 weeks of short use to be comfortable.
They are a beautiful sandal that satisfies the glam required , comfortable after breaking in”
“I love the look of these sandals, and the color - great for summer. But like Eddie A. I also had a problem that the heel cups which are quite stiff. On one ankle it is quite painful and blistered immediately requiring band-aids. I am really hoping the shoe will soften up and break in!”
“These look and feel great everywhere except the top of the heel cups, they are higher than on the average shoe and press inwards on the back of my ankle. Bleeding after 5 mins, really hoping they break in after some wear with bandaids.”
Hi Eddie,
Thanks for your review! The heel cup is higher on this sandal compared to some of our other styles but we have had a few staff members wearing them around and they definitely soften after a couple of wears :)
To help break in the back of the shoe we recommend wearing them around the house with some thick socks on to help soften them whilst protecting your skin.
If you are still having trouble with the heel cup after a few wears in the Robin sandals, please don't hesitate to contact us at the store on (03)9509 5771.
Many thanks,
The Bared Team x
“Yet again another pair of Bared arrived and have excelled in their comfort! By far THE comfiest sandal that I have ever worn. Feel like I could run a marathon in these sandals! Can't wait until my next pair of Bared arrive!”
