“Everything was comfortable about this shoe - length and width were perfect EXCEPT the gap between the straps of leather is too wide and doesn't account for the end toes jamming out between the straps. When I bent my foot to walk the end toes would get pushed in between the slats of leather and hit the sides=hurt. So I had to return them (which was a very easy process thanks to very lovely staff at Melbourne CBD). [NB: I ordered these online and tested them at home on clean carpet].
Suggestion: I think this shoe would be so much better if they just used a much wider strap to support the sides of your feet where your toes are and use the slat design before and after the widest bit. No point having lovely sandals if your little toe is just going to jut out!”
Hi Natalie,
We're glad to hear that the length and width of the Bittern were comfortable for you. We truly appreciate your suggestion regarding the strap design, and we'll certainly consider it for future designs.
We understand that individual foot profiles and shapes can affect how shoes fit and feel, and it’s unfortunate that the strap placement didn’t work for you in this case.
We're happy to hear that your return experience was smooth and easy. We look forward to welcoming you back to Bared soon!
Warm regards,
The Bared Team
“I purchased these sandals recently. Bared are the only shoes I have purchased for years after a few foot injuries. These didn’t disappoint, no wearing in needed just started wearing them with no problems. I’ve had many compliments and am keen to get them in another colour.”
“I love these sandals ! They are extremely comfortable and true to size. They’ll be suitable for both work with the covered but breezy toe and perfect for weekend wear. I’m very happy with them .”
