Bared Footwear Sustainability

More than great looking shoes.

We create mindfully-crafted shoes that are good for you and tread lightly on our planet. Designed with your comfort in mind, we'll never leave you in shoes you don't love. We started our journey to improve our products and practices to have less impact on our planet. From our efforts to reduce our global footprint and upcycling leather offcuts into Dog Collars & Leads, to developing a new bio-based B.plantfoam™ footbed, our journey has just begun. The challenge with footwear is there are so many components that make up a good shoe and we need them to be really durable. In an ideal world, we are all trying to make our products from natural materials that come from nature and at the end of life, they decompose quickly leaving no nasties. This concept of easy-to-break-down and long-wearing is going to take some time to achieve We're proud to be Australia’s first B Corp-certified footwear label and stand by the highest social and environmental standards for people and the planet. With a team of passionate individuals all working towards making our brand equally profitable and sustainable, we have a great desire to preserve and restore the earth for generations to come. It is our mission to continue to evolve, question our processes and do better. We understand this will not happen overnight, but it’s our promise to be open, honest and transparent.

Bared Footwear Sustainability Actions

Plant-Based Footbed

Crafted from 72% bio-based B.plantfoam™, derived from plant-based materials. It creates three to six times less Co2 emissions than our standard footbeds.

MIRUM® Plant-Based Material

Born from our desire to minimize our footprint on the earth, our new range of leather alternative sneakers and heels are a first of their kind. MIRUM® is a high-quality, 100% biobased material that is vegan, durable, has a premium-feel and raises the bar for sustainable fashion. Made from natural ingredients including citric acid, cotton, natural rubber and soybean oil, MIRUM® is a plant-based, plastic-free material designed to withstand your everyday and then ultimately rejoin the Earth’s nutrient cycle, closing the loop.

Shoe Recycling

In partnership with Melbourne-based company, Save Our Soles, we transform pre-loved shoes into rubber mats for gym and playground flooring. Drop off your old shoes (Bared or not!) at any one of our stores, alternatively, post them to our warehouse.
