BARED FOOTWEAR x PAYPAL MELBOURNE FASHION FESTIVAL 2025
Fashion isn’t just what we wear—it’s how we move. At Bared Footwear, we believe true style starts from the ground up. And this year, at the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival 2025, our shoes did more than walk the runway - they were worn in style across the festival.
From bold, sculptural silhouettes to the kind of all-day comfort that lets you move effortlessly from show to soirée, our latest collection proved one thing: fashion shouldn’t be something you suffer for. It should be something you own.
THE SHOES THAT TURN HEADS
This festival is more than an event—it’s a celebration of expression, individuality, and innovation. And our latest styles embodied exactly that. In the front row, on the streets, and across some of the most talked-about runways, Bared shoes made their mark:
Wedgebill
The reinvention of the classic loafer. Textured, sophisticated, and effortlessly cool.
Vidua
High-luxe meets refinement. Heels that command attention without demanding it.
Willet
Chic, modern, and endlessly versatile – your new everyday icon.
SPOTTED: BARED ON AND OFF THE RUNWAY
While Bared made a statement on the festival’s most iconic runways, the real magic happened in between the shows.
Our shoes were seen on the front-row elite, backstage with stylists, and on industry insiders who know that true fashion is just as much about how you feel as how you look. Fashion journalists, models, and designers alike were slipping into Bared boots—because when you’re running from venue to venue, comfort isn’t optional.
And on the streets? Melbourne turned the city into its own runway. From effortless monochrome pairings to bold, high-shine moments, our boots were the foundation for looks that defined this season’s off-duty cool.
STYLE MEETS SUBSTANCE
With a commitment to circular fashion, Bared’s impact goes beyond the runway. Each pair is made for a future where fashion is kinder—on feet, on people, and on the planet.

BARED X MELBOURNE FASHION FESTIVAL – A NATURAL FIT
There’s something about the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival that makes it feel distinctly Melbourne—the electric atmosphere, the city’s avant-garde spirit, and a program that blurs the line between fashion, culture, and creativity.
We love immersing ourselves into this world, embracing the festival’s celebration of innovation, inclusion, and expression.
From runway shows to immersive activations, this year’s festival proves that style is more than what you wear - it’s how you walk through the world. And with Bared, you can do it in boots that tell a story.
Because true style starts from the ground up.
The best part? The runway may have wrapped, but the style moment lives on. Step into something unforgettable—because the future of fashion is here, and it starts from the ground up.
