“Really love the design, height and comfort of the heels. But your feet will slide down if you don’t use the gel pads that they provide. It prevents your feet from sliding down the heel as your walk. I would of course prefer if I didn’t have to use those as they feel weird under your feet but you get used to it.
Had I known, I probably wouldn’t have bought it and picked a different style. This is my fifth pair of Bared Footwear and I’m a big fan and will continue to their shoes.”
Hi Eva,
Thank you so much for being such a loyal Bared fan. We truly appreciate you sticking with us!
We’re really glad you’re loving the Godwit heels, though we completely understand that wearing gel pads may feel a bit odd at first. Everyone’s feet are wonderfully unique, so we design our shoes and offer accessories to help accommodate a wide range of foot shapes. We’ve passed your feedback on to our design team. Your thoughts are incredibly valuable and help us make improvements.
If you have any questions about alternative styles that may work better for you without gel inserts, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Service team. We'd love to help!
Warm regards,
The Bared Team x
“I bought the Godwit black leather high heels on the day of an event. I wore them that night from 5pm to midnight and not only did they look gorgeous, they were so comfortable. No pain at all - highly recommended!”
“So comfortable. I have slightly wide feet and found these to be perfect, especially using the inserts to adjust where my foot sat.
I did notice some differences between trying the older model of the heels and the new one. The older model was less tight and fit much better, so I was able to buy that pair instead.”
“Godwit shoes whilst constructed well and seemed to be good quality was not really looking good for my feet. I have narrow feet and the boxy width of the shoe made it too roomy. My toes splayed out most of the time. I could already tell though that it is a well made shoe.”
“I love that this style comes in 2 heights - I've chosen the taller one as I'm only 5ft 4" so a gal needs as much height as she can get! Can be dressed up with a cocktail dress or down with some jeans. So versatile and black is classic. Note I have short toes and a wide foot and these fit me so well. These will be my go to for years to come!”
