“I have the black patent and also bought the black/copper pair
These were my third Bared purchase after success wearing the Cockatoo and Vulture sneaker while recovering from lisfranc fracture. They look great, but we’re tight initially so I did get them (Gently) stretched so that I could take them overseas (pre-COVID) as a dress and walk shoe as I will always need the full orthotics. Very comfortable. I did use the Bared footbed to stretch the leather more before using the full orthotics . I get lots of compliments wearing these snd the shoes give good support. NB The shoe is cut high so I had to make sure that I did not lace it up too tightly - it may be just that the top of my right foot has changed shape though”
“I love these shoes. Initially when I ordered these I thought they would be stiff and rub in spots, but how wrong I was. Beautiful soft leather that molded to my feet day one. I did have sore little toes the first couple of wears but nothing too major. These are a great versatile style that can be worn with skirts, dresses, pants and jeans. Can wear and walk all day long. Excellent investment. Thanks again Bared.”
“The oenguin shoe is classy, professional and super comfortable. I get complimented daily at work on these shoes. They work amazingly with pants and skirt outfits and get me through my 10 hours days with ease. I can't live without them. Thanks Based.”
“My black patent Penguins are soooo good. They keep me on my feet for a minimum 8 hours a day, s days a week, while selliing retail, lifting heavy goods, walking at least 10,000 steps, climbing equipment running to and from the store room, and getting compliments about my shoes! And they're nearly 2 years old. Go Penguin! You're the best.”
“Bought these for my 21-22 yo daughter who is on her feet most of the day at work. She was complaining of tired aching feet, so mum here decided it was time to introduce her to Bared. She absolutely loves them, wears them most days all year round if she is not wearing her Dunnocks! The support & the laces she said does the trick & she admitted they actually look 'stylish & classy'. She works in a busy health practice & has so many comments always on her footwear, she had passed on the Bared name to so many.”
