“These are cute and look great. But sadly the gold ⭐️ on the back catches on clothing. I’ve had the hem on 2 pairs of trousers ripped within a few steps of wearing them with these shoes.
Unfortunately aesthetics have gotten in the way of practicality.”

“I bought these in the gold a year or so ago and absolutely love them! Please make the gold colour way again! So comfortable as daily sneakers yet able to be worn with dresses and still make you look dressed up. Will absolutely buy again.”
“These shoes are lovely fit and look great with anything. Unfortunately, I wore them today in the wet and I slipped on more than one occasion. One of the main reasons for buying issues is so I had a shoe I could wear on the wet days.”
Hi Michelle,
I'm so sorry to hear about your recent experience with the Whimbrel sneakers!
Thank you for taking our phone call earlier and allowing us the opportunity to turn this experience around.
If there’s anything else we can assist with, please don't hesitate to reach out to our wonderful Customer Service team.

“Love them. Also love how everything is so sustainably-minded down to the shoe lace tips and the packaging. Would be good to have non-synthetic soles too.”
“I've had these for several months now. They are very solid and therefore, quite heavy but I've found them to be one of the best shoes for me, but they did take time to break in. I'm concerned about the slippery sole and actually fell over once, when I was on a wet floor. I raised this concern and the shoes were replaced but that hasn't made any difference, it's the style of the sole, so a design fault more so than a faulty shoe. Unfortunately, this means I'm not willing to purchase any of the other styles that have the same sole design, which is disappointing. I no longer wear them in wet weather, as I'm too fearful of falling. I was buying them as a winter shoe, so it's reduced their usefulness in my wardrobe.”
“Following a visit to the podiatrist, I was recommended to try Bared Footwear. Originally I purchased a different shoe which was a bit narrow, but the team gave such great service and recommended the Whimbrel. I have been wearing them for around 12 months now, and the quality is astounding - they still look brand new! With plantar fasciitis, my feet get instant relief in these, and I literally wear them everywhere, work too. So comfy, and perfect for wider feet.”
