“With new shoes, I expect to initially get blisters in areas where the straps are (in this case on top of the toes and at the heel around the ankle strap) until the shoe's broken in or I develop calluses.
These shoes have a strange bump on the outside of the sole. It's like the opposite of arch support because arch support is usually on the inside of the sole, but this bump is on the outside. Worn these about five times now and every time, I get blisters on the bottom of my feet on the outside edges. Never had blisters in that location of my foot before due to new shoes. Hopefully it goes away soon.
Otherwise, they're cute and are comfortable enough on all other parts of the foot. If you're in between sizes, size down.”

“Love the colour, thick heel and extra gel pads provided. However the thin straps give me blisters as they are quite stiff. Hoping they soften up overtime and these shoes last, then I would give 4 or 5 stars.”
Hi Kate,
We're sorry to hear the duck strap are causing blisters, they should soften up soon, you can also add some leather conditioner to help the process!
If they don't soften up soon please don’t hesitate to reach out by phone on (03) 9509 5771, live chat, or email at info@baredfootwear.com.
Kind regards,
The Bared Team
“These pretty sandals are at the higher price point for me so I was nervous about purchasing. But they are well made and comfortable I can see the value. Will be coming back for more!”
“Cute sandals for work and play. Block heel is comfortable for all day wear. The chocolate and dark tan colour combo is gorgeous and goes with everything.”
