Hi there, we’re Bared Footwear. We're an iconic Australian label known for making shoes look as good as they feel.
Founded by podiatrist-turned-entrepreneur Anna Baird, Bared was built on a simple idea: to do things better, in every sense. Today, it’s a collective of passionate people across every part of the business. From product design and marketing, to retail, customer service and everything in-between, we empower our teams to bring their perspective, back themselves and create work that elevates the future of fashion.

Melbourne Fashion Festival ‘26
There is a particular electricity that hums through Melbourne when Fashion Festival season arrives. The trams feel more cinematic. The laneways turn into catwalks. Even the skyline seems to stand a little taller.
