“I really liked these shoes when I purchased them in store and was happy as I left feeling that they were orthotic-friendly and stylish. This was in May 2026, however by August, with regular, but not daily, wear, the leather across the foot has stretched to the point where my foot is sliding as I walk, even when laced up to the max. This is my first pair of lace up shoes from Bared. Other non-lace up shoes have not stretched the same. My podiatrist has advised not to wear these shoes any longer so this is extremely disappointing given the $289 price tag! I will be careful recommending Bared shoes to friends or family, as will my podiatrist.”

“This is a beautiful shoe but I did return them. After seeing them I thought there was a little too much bling for my personal taste. I did give it long, hard thought - they really are beautiful.”
“This is the second pair of Bared sneakers I've bought and they don't disappoint. I bought them for a holiday and lived in them, walking 19 kms one day. Since coming home, they've barely been off my feet. I've had lots of compliments and it's nice to have a different pair the Thorntails.”
“Love these sneakers - they're so comfy and I love how Bared give you lots of fit options with inner soles. I just wish they did half sizes as I would fall into that category.”
“I absolutely love my new sneakers, I have osteo arthritis and walking any distance my feet and back really suffer, but I can honestly say after wearing my new sneakers there is a marked difference, I don't expect to be like i was when youinger (I'm 80 now) but very happy, and I am thinking of getting anothert pair in a different colour. Highly recommend”
