DOES YOUR FEET HURT AFTER WORK?

Women often get sore feet from high-heeled shoes, because we carry too much of our weight on the forefoot and our shoes are too narrow. BARBRO Shoes are designed for Nordic and British feet with room for the forefoot, so you can walk with grace and elegance.

4 YEARS AGO – I WAS INSPIRED! Inspired to create shoes that empowered the wearer. Why? After 6 years navigating the streets of London in “statement shoes”, I was tired. Tired of not being able to truly have it all – to be comfortable to the depths of my sole, while still being the stylish beast that I am! 4
So, now that I have designed truly elegant and walkable shoes and empowered Danish women, I return to London to empower you. I have been in your shoes – now I hope you will be in mine. They were made for you. They were made to make you more confident, comfortable and competent in your own skin and your own hand-sewn leather shoes.
