I've been cursed with problem feet. I don't want to complain but buying shoes is usually more of a…read morehassle than something fun for me. After recently getting orthotics, my podiatrist recommended I take a look at ECCO for some functional shoes I can wear everyday. "Functional shoes?" I thought, imagining a range of old lady shoes with expensive price tags attached. I'm happy to admit, I was wrong. ECCO is different to so many other shoe stores I've been recommended. The shoes are comfortable and functional - yet they also look great. I was super impressed with the quality of the shoes. The craftsmanship of the ECCO shoes are amazing and the staff are obviously well trained and know what they're talking about. Even more importantly, I found all the staff to be extremely helpful without boarding on pushy. If you have difficulty finding shoes that fit well or you need to wear orthotics, I highly recommend ECCO. As mentioned, shoe shopping normally isn't much fun for me and my poor feet but I thoroughly enjoyed shopping at ECCO. It was a breeze with the help of the staff members. I'm loving my new shoes and keen to go back and look at the boots some more!

After reading the Yelp reviews for Bared Footwear promising nice shoes that were good for your feet…read moreand podiatrist recommended, I immediately made plans to get down there and check it out. I used to have orthotics and have a bit of a dodgy body so it piqued my interest. But mostly I thought their mens' shoes range could be the answer to my hospitality-worker husband's problematic feet and recent pain issues. He now has a really lovely looking pair of work shoes that won't kill his feet. Bonus for me, I found two really nice pairs of casual shoes for him that he equally loves. So while we didn't get them all there and then (shoes here cost between $200-$290 a pair) it looks like I will finally get to stop nagging him to stop wearing thongs out and get him into some decent weekend shoes soon! Wife win. The women's shoes range have flats, loafers and heels. Most have an ankle strap to hold you in and stop toe-clawing. I found them a bit bulky for what I'm used to, but they're super comfy and I think I'll probably end up with a pair of the loafer style that comes up higher on the foot and doesn't need the strap. Right now I'm holding out for their new season winter boots as I myself do a fair bit of running around on foot. The staff were really friendly and knowledgable. They assured us that if there were any problems with the shoes at all, we could bring them back and they can refit the insole to sort any issues. Apparently they get people bringing back shoes after years to readjust the sole - making the price tag not only worth the investment, but actually a pretty good bargain for what you're getting. The buckle actually broke on my husband's shoes on his first day of wear which we were pretty surprised by, but they fixed it immediately and gave him some free polish for the inconvenience. Definitely sold on these guys.

I've bought high heels from Bared and was stunned by its quality. Made of actual fabric (leather…read morelined) 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!
