“I’ve been looking everywhere for plain white sneakers and I’ve found them! These are very comfortable, they’re going to take some time to break into as they’re a bit squeaky. The sneakers are also slightly large for a 36 but the insoles and starter kit help. I’d still recommend!”
“I love these shoes, no issues wearing them in and I can walk all day without getting the foot pain I normally have.
So pleased to have found this shop.”
“These shoes are sleek, smart and very comfortable. I've been wearing them every day since I got them and really love them. The only thing I would slightly change is one foot fits a bit differently to the other, but I'll use the fit kit to find the right one for me”
“I got the Whimbrels at the beginning of February and have worn them a few times most weeks, including for travel, but they still feel really hard and clunky and I don't feel comfortable wearing them for more than a couple hours. I think they are one of my least comfortable pairs of shoes - super disappointing! The fit is fine but they are just really stiff and heavy.”
Hi Amy,
Thanks so much for taking the time to review the Whimbrel 🥰 We have tried to give you a call and left a voice message as we would love to chat.
I'm so sorry to hear that they are causing you some discomfort. Some customers do find our shoes to be a little heavier than other brands - this is due to the fact that all of our shoes are crafted with rigid leathers to provide support, structure and longevity; a rigid heel counter (depending on the style), and a steel shank (running inside the sole) which runs from the heel to ball of the foot to help guide your gait and encourage flex in the forefoot. It can take some time getting used to.
In saying all this, it does sound like you have given them a good go and worn them a fair bit and they are still not working.
We want to ensure you are 100% happy with your purchase so would love to chat and see if we can help to get them fitting better for you.
Please feel free to give us a call back on (03) 95095771 or you can always jump on Live Chat on our website if that's more convenient.
Either way, we look forward to hearing from you soon. ✨
Much love,
The Bared Team xx

Hi Susie,

We're sorry to hear they weren't quite right for you and happy to hear that you found a pair that you love in the Gadwalls!
Have a lovely day.
Warm regards,

“I have just purchased my third, (And it won't be my last!) pair of Bared shoes. I was looking for a comfortable and supportive sneaker, as I suffer from plantar fasciitis. Whimbrel sneakers were recommended. Can't wait to wear them for OS holiday. Well Done Bared!”
