“I bought the brown pair online as they were sold-out in-store. I had tried the black pair on in-store with no issues but when the brown pair arrived and they are a different leather/fit and they are so tight around the calves that I can only zip them up halfway (for reference I'm a size 8 AU for clothes). The lovely customer service team suggested to wear them around un-zipped in the hopes that the leather softens and maybe they would zip up eventually, but that sounds uncomfortable and honestly embarrassing. I have returned them as I don't want to waste $370 if they don't soften enough to zip up. I have lots of other Bared shoes and have never had this issue before, I hope Bared can make their shoes more inclusive of different body sizes/shapes in future.”
Hi there,
We have just reached out to you via phone and email.

“These are gorgeous boots, so I was very sad they wouldn't fit. Unfortunately due to the design, I couldn't get the zipper to do up and I don't have huge calves or ankles. There isn't enough stretch and the design means they hit right where the ankle turns into the calf, so if you have any muscle it will be too tight. I returned these (and the Raptor 2) for the Canary boots, which are lovely!”
Hi Elise,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for the Nightingale boots!
We're so sorry to hear these gorgeous boots weren't the right fit for you. We completely understand how disappointing this is, especially when you really love the style. 😭
We're so glad to hear you're loving your new Canary boots and we could help facilitate this exchange.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Take care,
The Bared Team xx
“I feel like I could run a marathon in these boots (not that I would) I have wide feet and literally no shoes apart from my sneakers are comfortable…these are soooo comfortable and super stylish ♥️”
“I love the fact that I can wear this boot all day and get home without any pain or discomfort. But let's talk about the style, I can wear it with a normal pair of Jeans and either with a dress to go out to dinner.
Deeply in love with my nightingales”
“I wore these on a night out last night and I physically could not stop talking about how comfortable they were!! 14,000 steps later and my usual sign to call it a night (crippling foot discomfort) was nowhere to be seen. I now feel like my entire life is on a timeline of pre these shoes and post these shoes.”
“Perfect boots. Go with everything and the square block heel is super edgy. Love that they come with multiple insoles as well. Please make them in black patent leather again and I will buy a second pair!!!!”
