“Fantastic work shoes - they go with everything! Funky but super comfy and practical ... all at the same time! They do require a bit of wearing in, but overall great shoes.”
“I purchased these for work and they are perfect! A lot of cushioning. They do need to be worn in a bit though because the leather is quite hard. But its worth it!”
“These shoes are fantastic! I have a very wide foot and often have issues with flats. I purchased these shoes as a stylish alternative for travelling, and bought them months in advance so they would be worn in by the time I jet off. Fortunately they were comfortably worn in after only 2-3 wears! I can't wait to buy them in other colours.”
“These flats are like wearing sneakers! They did take a little wearing in but now I don’t have any issues. The staff in the Melbourne store were very helpful fitting these with the right insoles and punching a couple of extra holes in the strap. I picked these up on sale in light pink but am contemplating the black studded ones - they are just so comfy!”
“I have been searching for a ballet flat to wear with my half length orthotics, and the lapwing shoes are perfect: they are compatible with orthotics whilst still looking like a beautiful ‘mainstream’ shoe.
Have received many compliments on my black patent pair and the shoe itself is of a lovely quality with a thick and sturdy rubber outer sole and soft leather lining. The ankle strap is so comfortable too. The Lapwing looks and wears like a quality shoe, well done Bared!”
“I love bared shoes and these shoes are cute! I have worn them a lot and they are super comfy though recently wore them for a day of lots of walking and my feet were in pain! They are digging into both my feet on the top and the buckle is cutting into my side of the foot. I rested my feet and tried again the next day for another very long day and I had the same result. Quite disappointing :(”
Hi Bianca, I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing these issues - our Patent Leather can be a bit more rigid resulting in limited stretching! we will be in touch via email x
“Love my patent black lapwings! Wasn’t sure if the patent leather would be easy to break in but I haven’t had any blisters or rubbing after about a month’s wear. I found I was one size smaller in this style/brand. The shoes come with 3 different sized insoles which helps you to find your own perfect fit. I’ve gotten lots of comments on how cute these shoes are. They’re very comfortable to walk in and I highly recommend them! Great for the office or for weekend wear (I leave mine at work).”
