“I love these shoes (Lapwing Studded Black) and have worn this pair to work everyday since September. A perfect mix of corporate and cool (I love the studs!), they are a fantastic fit and enclose perfectly around my wide feet. I happily wear these all day, whether I'm wearing them for a lap around the park at lunch, commuting to and from work or dancing at a post work function, they are truly the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! Thanks to the wonderful Bared staff in the Melbourne CBD for their excellent fitting and service.”
“Fantastic shoes! They work really well with orthotics, which is unusual for a ballet flat. I have a fairly wide size 43 foot and they are very comfortable. Love the tough looking studs and slightly pointy toe - letting me live my Cyndi Lauper in the 80's dreams.”
“#1 Best and cutest!!! I have wider feet and the black lapwing is my favourite every day shoe. So comfortable and go really well with everything. Definitely my favourite out of the Bared ballet flats.”
“These are the most comfortable ballet flats I've come across! I've got wide feet and ballet flats tend to cut into the tops of my feet! But these do not! I bought the khaki ones and they work surprisingly well as a ' neutral' shoe!”
“I bought these shoes to wear after a varicose vein procedure - I needed something flat that could accommodate compression tights. I loved that the lapwing shoes had studs because I like the edge it gave them. I was a bit worried that the straps would not flatter my rather thick ankles but I needn't have worried - the strap is so fine and so well placed that is actually improves what nature has given me. The shoes were immediately comfortable - no wearing in required. They are now my 'go to' shoe - I try to wear them whenever possible. Would love to see these come out in more colours!”
“I recently purchased a pair of studded lapwing shoes in the black. Love the fact that I can wear a flat shoe and not feel frumpy. These feel great on and are really well made.”
“Not particularly the adjectives you’d give to such amazing shoes, but I can stand and walk about all day, chase my toddler and still maintain my sartorial integrity - while looking fabulous (in comfortable shoes!)
Plus, there’s nothing like a bit of hardware to give you an edge. Thanks for changing my life Bared! I’m definitely a lifer for your shoes!”
“My introduction to Bared Footwear was this shoe. I love not only how my foot looks thinner and elongates my profile, but also, no foot pain, and have even found that I have more energy throughout the day. Usually I notice such a change when moving from wearing flats to wearing runners during the day. Now I can have a fatigue free day - whilst still looking amazing. Thanks Bared!”
