I gave Bared the opportunity to respond to my concerns but they ignored me so here it is. My wife and I have bought (i counted the boxes) 20 pairs. Recently i took one of my pairs to a cobbler to re soul the pair of Aluminium black shoes where the whole upper separated from the outer sole and to my surprise i was told they definitely DO NOT use a Blake Stitch, in fact the stitch is fake. Not impressed with fake stitches and fake advertising. I will not buy pair 21.

I have purchased a number of pairs of Bared Shoes. My favourite pair are the Brolga in black suede leather. Just be careful if you chose the patent leather. I purchased the same shoes (Brolga) in the plum patent in July. I tried to wear them again the other day. They are excruciating as the leather does not give at all.

Amazing and fast customer service online. Had purchased a pair of shoes under a year ago and noticed a tear, emailed the team and they sent me a new pair. I’ve referred so many family and friends to this brand.

I have 3 pairs of Bared shoes, they are exactly as you hope - very comfortable and look great. The best part is the exceptional customer service. The team respond quickly and are quick to resolve any queries.

I have 4 pairs of shoes from here. One pair of sandals that has lasted me 6 years. The team were amazing and made it happen that I got the sandals Re-soled in time for Xmas

I was hesitant buying shoes online. 20% off So I ordered the ones I loved for my wedding.
2 day later I got a call that they didnt have the size I wanted, my shoes were lost. I said they were for my wedding, customers service was amazing, offered to send me 6 different pairs of shoes, express post to try on! If I didnt like them would do a a full refund.

2 hrs later got another call, they had found my shoes!!! They arrived 1 day later! They are amazing I love them! Thank you !!!!

I love Bared shoes. Designed by a Podiatrist and have very comfortable footbed inserts. Great range of shoes for men and women. I have 2 pairs but want to get so many more!

I have 10 pairs of shoes from bared, and honestly would be hard pressed to buy shoes anywhere else. They look amazing and are so comfortable. On top of that the staff at the Armadale store are absolutely unbelievable, and just go above and beyond to help.

I have purchased twice from bared l, as I podiatrist I wanted to show people that good comfy shoes dont have to be ugly. They are comfortable and help with the heel pain I sometimes get however, I find the straps too long and both pairs the soles have started to peel off. Im only getting 6-12 months wear out of them and I only wear them to work (part time) I also just came back from maternity leave so didnt wear them at all for 7 months. I probably wont purchase again as I had another brand of work shoes for about 3 years that stayed together, for the price I expected them to last much longer than they have.

I have purchased a few (6) pairs of shoes from Bared now. They are so easy to purchase from online, super helpful customer service has always helped me with sizing and when I've had any issues with quality - they have resolved them really well. I love the different fit options to make sure they are right.

Loving my black sparrow wedges. Great shoes to travel with and perfect for cruising. Very comfortable for dancing and long walks. Also easy shoes to pop on and transition from casual to dressy.

The shoes are very comfortable, no issues there.

But, after having used them for roughly six months, the soles started to fall apart. Seriously, guys, you don't make $200+ shoes that last for less than a year. This didn't happen to any other of my shoes from other brands.

Unfortunately, can't recommend unless Bared makes them more durable.

UPDATE:
Received a prompt refund from the store. Give their shoes a go, I might have been unlucky with my particular pair.

I took some boots in for a minor repair, the sales person was helpful and the boots were ready two days later...in perfect condition, very happy with the service at Bared.

I am privileged to own the Kea in dark green velvet and the Corella in green velvet. These shoes are stunning! Beautiful and comfortable! A special shout out to Lily and Laura from customer service, who with kindness and grace, and knowledge of the product, went above and beyond to help me with any challenges that I faced with my order. I have never encountered such amazing customer service in my life! Amazing shoes, amazing costumer service, amazing company! Bared Shoes is an honest company that stands by their products. It has been a pleasure to work with Lily and Laura. Thank you!

I've bought high heels from Bared and was stunned by its quality. Made of actual fabric (leather lined) it doesn't give you a long-wear (which I would expect from $250 shoes) and had stitches poorly done.
The customer service is what makes me say that I'll never shop with Bared again. Take a week to reply, instead of helping with a refund try to sell more and generally don't seem at all keen to help.

The fact that they don't do refunds was also poorly advertised on their website, so I only found out about it when it was too late. Such a waste of my time and money!

I have purchased nearly 20 pairs of Bared Shoes over the past few years at the Armadale Store. The range of shoes is excellent and they have helped my back issues immensely - so much that I do not wear any other shoes now.
Special mention needs to go to Adam - his service and knowledge is amazing. He is an example of what brilliant customer service can be.

VERY Happy!!
Despite being a super busy period for Bared and their upfront communications about potential delays, my order was packed, shipped, and delivered well ahead of schedule. When the first pair didn't fit properly, they happily + promptly sent out multiple alternatives for me to try at no extra cost.

Customer service like this takes effort to perfect, and completely alters customers' experiences. Should be a lesson to other online retailers.

And the shoes I received fit perfectly, look amazing and are the most comfortable pair of heels I've ever tried. I'll happily pay a little extra for this kind of quality, comfort and service in the future.

Thank you Bared team!
