    XXXXtremely comfortable and good looking - THE most comfortable shoe I have ever worn, and that includes my Mephistos. Tried this shoe on once before going on vacation and then walked for miles through Vegas in absolute comfort. Have other ARA shoes and they too are extremely comfortable but this pair beats them all!

    Fabulous shoe! I bought this shoe for a business trip to London because I can walk around for miles and it looks good with slacks and skirts. I love the black patent accents. This shoe fits medium to narrow feet well (I'm medium-narrow). I think the tapered toe box might be too narrow for a wide foot. I have other Aras and I just love them. They are all reasonably priced and very well made. This one is no exception!

    Comfortable walking shoe - The interior of this shoe is very soft. It has a dressy look, but lots of support. I plan on taking this shoe to Europe this summer, and walking all day in it.

    Best Shoe I've Ever Worn - I ordered these shoes in a size 8, after totally wearing out another pair of ara shoes. These shoes are absolutely the most comfortable, good looking shoes I've ever worn. They go with pants or skirts and you can walk for miles in them. I just wish they came in more colors.

    A disappointing shoe - I usually love Ara shoes, but not this one! This shoe comes very high up on the sides of the foot. It's not at all like a typical ballerina flat. Kind of ugly, matronly look. Also, not very comfortable. Thick sole is nice though.

    The best shoe ever. Excellent quality and value. It can be dressed up or down. It's unbelievably comfortable. (I walked on the cobblestoned streets of Paris for two weeks and my feet never hurt!) I've worn out more than one pair because they are always on my feet. I echo the sentiment that it would be great if it came in more colors. I have them in every color I could get in my size. Also, some people like and need that generous cut that come up high on the foot. My feet look small and slim in this shoe!

    I love Zappos! I could not find the Ara shoes I wanted in any local shoe store. Then I decided to look on line and found the exact shoe I wanted at a much lower price from Zappos. I had them in my hands in a matter of days. No more retail shoe shopping for me now that I have discovered the wonderful world of Zappos!

    I thought these were great flats. Very comfortable. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit and these were perfect. They have moderate arch support, so they aren\'t too flat. My only concern is that they may stretch over time and become too big.

    I was not familiar with Ara shoes but liked the style on line for its versatility. They arrived today--usual great Zappos service!--and I am very impressed with how cute they are, and how comfortable they are. I wanted them for an overseas business trip where I will do a lot of walking, and I think they\'ll be perfect! I wear a 7.5 or 8 and ordered these in 7.5 and the fit is just right. Now I\'ll look for other Ara-brand shoes!

    I have many Ara shoes. I have bunions and cannot wear ballet style shoes. This style covers my bunion and I can wear them all day. They look good with jeans and skirts. Super comfortable shoe. I would recommend to anyone with foot pain.\r\n

    You know how difficult it is to find a dress shoe that is comfortable. Well, I was able to wear these shoes with a dress, and it felt special. I couldn\'t have gone a complete smaller size, but the shoes were a little big. I also received many compliments. Wish there were different colors.\r\n

    I need a shoe that has some arch support and a cushioning sole...I have old ladies feet, but do not want to look like an old lady. These shoes seem to fit the bill so far.

    I love Ara shoes. Have four pair in my closet. Begin able to order them on line through Zappos.com was a significant time saver. I got exactly what I ordered and in no time at all.

    These are great shoes. They do run short in black. Note that this is a different shoe from the two-toned version and is sized differently. Fit and comfort is all you could ask for. I'm taking them to Europe as my go-to-a-nice-restaurant but walking on cobblestones to get there shoes.

    I love this shoe. It's so comfortable and cute. I usually wear a 7.5 or an 8, so I got a 7.5 based the the reviews I read. Initially, I thought it was too small, but after wearing them around the house for a few days, they became more comfortable. I ordered the 8 to compare the two sizes, but the 8 was way too big. So, although they take some breaking in, these shoes are very comfortable and offer much more support and cushioning than other ballet flats I've worn. I highly recommend them.

    After wearing them for a week, I ordered another pair. A wise friend once advised that if you fall in love with a shoe, you ought to have at least two pairs. These shoes are so comfortable, timelessly stylish and versatile. Buy a pair!!!
