“I have these in tan (I think they no longer sell this colour but is still the same cardinal design) and found the top of the shoe very scratchy, even with thick socks on. So bad that I formed blisters on my lower leg where the shoe starts.
Wearing thick socks also makes it uncomfortable to wear as it lessens the room inside the shoe.
I've only worn these twice since Dec 2016... (I now live in NYC so was planning to wear these through winter too but couldn't)”
Hi Justine,
We are disappointed to hear you are not finding the Cardinal boots comfortable, please send us an email at info@bared.com.au, as a cobbler can often file down any stiff stitching to make it more comfortable, we would be more than happy to cover the cost for you.
Many Thanks,
The Bared Team x
“I loved these boots but unfortunately they are quite narrow. I have a wide foot but fit in to most shoes comfortably, however I found these quite tight across the foot so convinced my sister to buy them off me :) Would love these in a wider fitting.”
Hi Stacey,
Did you try these boots with the thinner version of our removable footbed? This helps to maximise space at the front of the shoe and could solve your problem.
Contact us if you need a thin footbed posted out to you, we are happy to do so free of charge!
Many Thanks,
The Bared Team x
“I purchased these a while back & thought I would keep them for going out, a few weeks in I was wearing them daily. They now are my go to boots & I have recently purchased in the all black. On the first wear I should have worn long socks, as I had a little rubbing whilst the leather softened due to the size of my calves, love them thankyou!”
“After years of buying cheap, fast fashion shoes that destroy my feet, buying these boots was a major upgrade for my feet (and style). Other than the very first day that I wore them when the leather was of course still a bit stiff, I've never experienced any discomfort wearing these boots (and that first day was largely exasperated by an existing blister from other shoes). I very much appreciated all the insert options should the boots as is didn't work - shows that Bared takes a lot of pride in their product and ensuring their customers are happy!”
“The previous winter I spent my days wearing sandals as I had painful arthritic feet, with the cold adding to my pain. An incredibly unhappy few months. Then told I needed orthotics & went through the grieving of a lifetime ahead of ugly shoes....until I found Bared. It seriously has been a life-changer for me. These boots are my everyday go-to pair. love, love, love. Have sold my previous extensive shoe collection & now only buy Bared. And the in-store service is the best I have experienced in retail in recent years.”
“My new boots in cappuccino have been my go to shoes over the past few months with the change from spring to summer! The soft colour means that they've been perfect for those days when you still want to wear a shoe without looking like a winter boot. They are very comfortable and have been easy to wear with jeans, skirts and dresses.”
