The Bridal Edit: Comfy Wedding Shoes
8/11/2023
Say goodbye to uncomfy shoes on your wedding day, and say hello to the Bared Bridal Edit. The ultimate wedding shoes you can wear from dusk till dawn.
It’s no secret your wedding will be a big day. As you walk down the aisle and get down on the dancefloor, you’ll need shoes you can last in. While most bridal shoes are impossible to walk in, we’re here to take the stress out of wedding shoe shopping. For all-day comfort, brides are choosing Bared on their big day and here’s why.
What Makes Bared Shoes So Comfy?
It all starts with our crazy comfy footbed. From the ball of your feet to the back of your heels, each carefully designed curve is there to give you all the support you need. To top it off, our shoes have added depth, a firm heel counter and an elevated heel pitch for ultimate foot support.
Next-level comfort comes from next-level materials. As we do our best to tread lighter on our planet, we made the switch to our B.plantfoam™ footbed. The same comfort you know and love, but made from 72% plant-based materials (USDA-certified biobased). With a carbon footprint of 3.85 kg CO2e, it reduces CO2 emissions by 70% compared to traditional petroleum-based footbeds. On top of this, we use high-quality leathers that are Leather Working Group-certified so your shoes will look the part, too.
The best part about what we do? Watching you walk down the aisle. To inspire your big day, we’ve pulled together our latest Bared brides and what they wore.

White Bridal Flats
Made to turn heads, the Grackle White Satin Ballet Flats. Natalya Packham wears these comfy bridal flats with her laced gown for a seriously whimsical bridal look.
“Having discovered Bared in the last year as a brand that caters to larger and narrower sizes, I was thrilled to find that there was a wedding range that would ensure I looked and felt special on my wedding day.
Given that I am 6ft4 I was trying to avoid having to wear a heel but still look classy and that my shoe choice was intentional rather than an everyday white shoe. The white satin Grackle was the perfect choice for me. I loved the detailing on the ankle strap which created a timeless look.”

Nude Wedding Heels
Just a dream, Rachael Kennedy’s lavender look paired perfectly with the Godwit Sand Leather Heel. The floaty, layered dress highlighted her strappy beige heels, and she couldn’t have been comfier.
“Finding the right footwear for our wedding was something I didn't think much about. Until I started looking into footwear and found it very challenging to find shoes that would work with my dress and keep my feet happy throughout the day. We had our ceremony on a grass lawn, so I knew I wanted something with a thicker heel, but not chunky as I wanted to keep the look very elegant and carefree.
Words can't describe how happy I was when I received my Bared shoes. They came in their own little bag for protection, as well as gel inserts to make the fit perfect. I didn't have to think about finding a solution if they were too big for my very narrow feet, because Bared provided it before I even had to!”

White Bridal Heels
Effortlessly comfy, you can’t go wrong with a classic white bridal heel. Yasmine Tabone chose the Pewee White Satin Heels to go with her seriously sequined gown. Featuring a sturdy block heel made for any outdoor wedding and a super sleek pointed toe to elevate any outfit. See Yasmine in her dreamy wedding outfit and why white bridal heels should be at the top of your list.
“As soon as I walked into the Bared Sydney store the staff were so helpful and were able to find me a simple and elegant shoe to compliment my wedding dress. I instantly fell in love with my wedding shoes because of the colour, heel height and the shape of the pointed toe. As someone who doesn't normally wear heels for long periods of time, I found that my shoes were extremely comfortable and allowed me to withstand the hours on my feet.

Low-Heel Bridal Shoes
Letitia Gibbs walked down the aisle in a classic low heel. The Griffon White Leather Heels feature an elegant closed-toe design with a simple ankle strap, making them the ultimate accessory to any bridal look.
“They are hands down the most comfortable heels I own! When I started looking for my wedding heels I couldn’t find any that were elegant looking but weren’t lacking in the comfort factor. Until I came across these. I wore these for 8+ hours and had no issues at all. What’s even better is I will be able to wear these for years to come as they go with nearly any outfit!”

Strappy Bridal Heels
A match made in heaven in the Swift White Leather Heels. The open-toe design and simple straps work perfectly with Amanda Teh’s floor-length wedding gown. Sitting on a comfy block heel, find out why Amanda wouldn’t wear anything else.
“I need a comfortable pair of heels for my wedding day. They were my first pair of Bared Footwear and I haven’t gone back since. I now have 5 pairs from you guys. I got so many compliments on my wedding day. I couldn’t believe that heels could be so comfortable! I wore them all day and danced all night!”
Nude Bridal Flats
Call them forever shoes, the Malkoha Taupe Leather Ballet Flats. Brooke Lindsay took to the streets of Paris for her marriage vows and followed by a ceremony along the Amalfi Coast.
“My partner and I eloped in Paris and spent a two-month honeymoon travelling Europe. I wanted understated elegance for our wedding day, but an absolute non-negotiable was enjoying the day without sacrificing my feet. I’ll be honest; heels and I aren't exactly best buds!
Cobblestone streets, hopping on a Vespa, and exploring with my new husband were on the cards, so I knew flats were the way to go. Enter the Malkoha in Oatmilk; it was love at first sight. The design was pure perfection, beautiful without being too flashy, and they mould perfectly to your feet.
They were also extremely versatile to wear during our two-month honeymoon in Europe. So not just a wedding shoe, which was important to me—I wanted to be able to wear them more than once. I couldn't have been happier with my choice!”

Embellished Bridal Heels
Bride to be, Sarah Reedman chose the Wattle White Satin Heels for her special day. For a touch of glamour, she added the Gold Crystal Bridal Clip for added sparkle as she sashayed the night away.
“As a physio, I know the importance of high-quality footwear. I wanted to be truly comfortable so that I could walk down the aisle and dance the night away with confidence. I can always count on Bared shoes to provide an elite combination of support and style for any occasion, so for me, it was a natural choice. For our Black Tie theme, I paired the white satin Wattle heels with the Bridal Shoe Clips to add a touch of elegance.”
