“I had been looking around for a long time for a comfortable and not daggy looking work shoe. I do a lot to standing at work and these are ideal. Made the trip while in Melbourne to armidale and very happy with purchase and girls were so helpful. Will definitely be buying more bared shies in the future”
“I have theses shoes in black and neutral suede and love them . They are both comfortable enough to wear all day and yet look great also . I love that they are now available in so many colours”
“Bared shoes have been life-changing for me - size 42, wide, I have poor balance and a tendency to plantar fasciitis I never thought I'd find elegant shoes I could comfortably wear walking around town. Brolga are a wonderful show, with just the right heel to be dressy and comfortable.”
“These shoes are just ok. I’ve had to insert a gel foot pad to keep my toes from ramming into the front of the shoe, which when they do is quite uncomfortable. The sizing is also very off, I am from America and have never worn a size 4, however the sizing chart indicates that is what the size 34 is equivalent to, and I even feel this may be slightly too large, where as in normal sizing I am a 5 1/2. While the foot bed is certainly comfortable, I’ve found the ankle strap to be too low sitting on my heel causing a pulling I don’t enjoy. I also find that the black suede not coming already waterproofed is inconvenient. Overall they are a good solid shoe, and think they are worth the cost.”
Hi Hannah! Thanks for taking the time to review our Brolga heels. With regards to sizing, a 34 roughly converts to a 5 and is our smallest size. As a pointed-toed shoe, our Brolga has been extended in the toe to minimise pressure in the toes, so please expect a little space for your comfort. If you are finding yourself falling into the forefoot of the shoe, we suggest tightening up the ankle strap to reduce movement. We understand ankle straps aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, however, they do play an important role in aiding support and reduce forefoot pressure. Please let us know how you go!
“I have extremely wide wide but ordered some Bared shoes on referral. I actually didn’t expect this style to fit me basically because they never do.
I have bunions and damage on my feet yet these fitted perfectly, not just fitted but are comfortable!
I went up a size, you may like to try that - due to the point but the cut of the point is definitely part of the comfort.
I ordered 5 pairs being pretty certain I’d need to send most back, now I have the worst of decisions to make! I want to keep them all.”
Hey, Carly! Thanks for your feedback. We don't alter the colour of our images and do our absolute best to depict the correct leather. Due to lighting, and screen resolution, some colours are a little difficult to display. We'll be sure to make a note of this!
“I'm a in corporate job and these are ideal for work! I took forever to find a comfortable "good looking" work shoe and so happy that a few days of frustration googling led me to Bared. (sadly I had already wasted money on a pair of pretty ugly 'naturaliser' shoes at myer but I've learnt my lesson). The slight heel adds a bit of elegance, but I can use the new stand up desks in these babies without any issues. (I dance a lot in my spare time and need my feet to not be a scrunched up mess at the end of the day)!
At first I was worried that I'd bought a size too small and they were giving me pain in the front, but after a week of wearing them in they started to mold to foot and I now wear them about 95% of time.
Saving up to buy another pair in a different colour. Honestly never going anywhere else for shoes again!”
“These somehow look amazing both with vintage dresses and more modern/minimalist looks. They feel like old-school quality shoes and I bet I will still be wearing them in 10 years time (can't say that about most of my wardrobe!). Note these ones don't come with extra orthotic inserts, you wear them as they are. They are on the wider side, but there's no chance of your foot falling out with the strap. A strangely wonderful shoe-buying experience!”
