I walk to work every day and have been looking for a stylish and comfortable shoe that I can walk around in for a long time, wear to work or wear going out. I have a small narrow foot so I find it hard to find flats that are comfortable enough to walk around a lot and are also a good fit. These shoes are so stylish and comfortable. I wore them for the first time today and even on first wear, there was no discomfort or rubbing. I love that it has an ankle strap to keep the shoe on for more stability. I have recently had a leg injury and wearing these has also been better for me to walk around in as other traditional flats have no arch support and are too flat. I am in love with this shoe and this brand. I will definitely be buying more and have started recommending this brand to my friends and colleagues! Love it! Service is amazing, sending me different sizes and fitting options free of charge!

I’d admired Lapwings from afar for a long time. But having had painful past experiences with patent leather, I was a bit wary. I finally bought them on sale in size 38 (my regular size in Bared) and have absolutely no regrets! So comfortable - no friction or squishing on any part of my feet. Another reviewer said they’re like wearing sneakers, and I totally agree. I really appreciate the inclusion of extra padding and footbeds. With a bit of experimentation, I got the perfect fit for my different-sized/shaped feet. All I need now are extra holes punched for the ankle straps (which, by the way, are a bit stiff and I find them fiddly to ‘thread’ through the buckle). I now have four pairs of Bared shoes and they’re all brilliant. Thank you again, Bared!

I’ve been recovering from injuries in both feet & had to give up my beloved heels. Discovering Bared has helped me stay positive I can wear supportive shoes & still look fabulous. I have 2 pairs of lapwings & they’re my go-to for work. I have narrow feet & whilst they are a little large on the sides, the ankle strap keeps them in place. I did have to return 2 pairs - one lost a stud on the first wear & one had an issue with the heel squeaking. Bared customer service were brilliant & sorted it out for me. If you persist, it’s worth it. I love Bared shoes & have bought a few of the flats as well. It’s now either trainers with my orthotics or my Bared lapwings & flats with their comfy insoles. So long heels, stylish happy feet are my new norm!

I purchased the blush colour - it goes with everything! I walk a lot in them and have found the lighter colour to hold up well. These are also super comfortable.

Wearing these shoes at work everyday has made an amazing difference to my plantar fasciitis. I was wearing Bared shoes on the weekend already but now wearing them during the week as well, has resulted in a massive reduction in heel pain. These shoes feel like sneakers to wear. I may have to buy them in the new patent also!

These are my first pair of Bared shoes and they are so comfy! Great for work or play- they are simply but stylish enough for all occasions. I will definitely be buying more Bared shoes!

These flats are amazing! I have finally found a comfortable fine work shoe as I have narrow feet and find a lot of the “good for you” shoes clunky and look too big. I have worn these every day for nearly a year and they look brand new! Such good quality, I am excited to see they now come in patent leather too to expand my collection! Keep up the awesome work Bared :)
