Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width
I just ordered my second pair of these. I had the black and now the brown leather. These are fab shoes, I absolutely love them, so comfy! The only thing was I had to order down a half size. They seem to suit my high arch, too. They look good with anything from a skirt or dress, but I like them with a smart pair of jeans.

Very pleased with my Tara's. I've never really been a heel person but needed something nicer that I could dress up or down. After trying them in a store, they did not have the black I wanted, and then taking note of the previous comments here on size I ordered them from Zappos They are very comfortable and fit really well, I'm actually quite surprised! I'm sure once I get used to the heel height, which is my problem not the shoes, they will be a great shoe and a keeper. I'm seriously wondering about the brown now too. How do they look? Great in that dressy casual sort of way. They do look nice with a dress but I think they look even better with dress pants and nylons in that smart casual sort of way.

Very comfortable, I love this shoe, really love it! It’s extremely comfortable and one of the best I have had in years. I spend a lot of time on my feet so comfort is important to me. I will probably get another color. I just want to comment on some of the previous criticism. It seems that when selecting the size people weren't taking into account that this is not a regular flat Dansko or clog but a shoe with a heel. That might have avoided some of the problems. I have nothing but praise for this one. It looks great too with both skirts and pants with nylons.

I own several pairs of Danskos and this is the only pair that is not comfortable. My foot slides to the front of the shoe. I have a high arch and they do not offer the support I need.

Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width
These shoes are GORGEOUS, but . . . I'm so sad because these shoes look AMAZING, but I encountered the same problems as some other reviewers as far as the toes slipping forward to the front of the shoe, thereby "smooshing" them. Unfortunately, No Slip inserts didn't help. It's a true shame bc I've never been more in love w/ a shoe! But please note that I also have a low arch & flat feet - although the width & arch support felt great, so I'm not too certain that contributed to the problem. I have a feeling if the heel were a bit shorter & the toe box a bit roomier these would be perfect. But unfortunately that's not the case, so. . . back I send them w/ a very heavy heart! Zappos customer service, as always, was beyond spectacular. I already had to send them back once to size down & not only did they NOT charge my card again as some companies will do, but I got my replacement size the very next day before they even received my return! Good luck finding another company that'll go THAT extra mile! :)

Great looking shoe, unfortunately, the toe box is very low and hurt the tops of my toes. So disappointing!

Loving my Taras - I've enjoyed my shoes; very comfortable and I love the way it looks. I found that I had to order 1/2 size smaller to keep the shoes from slipping off my feet. I think if it wasn't a high heel, my normal size would have been okay. I am so glad that these shoes have 1/2 sizes, otherwise I would not have been able to buy them, because one whole size was too much.

Great looking shoe but not comfortable like most Danskos - I have several pairs of Danskos (all more clog style). I have a very high arch and Danskos usually provide good support; however, this shoe did not have as much support as others and my foot slid forward hurting my toes. I have a narrow foot so maybe a more medium width foot would not have the same issue. They do look good but sadly, I had to return them

I can wear these all day! I love Dansko shoes, but I usually prefer the look of heels, so I choose Soffts or other brands that do comfort well with a bit of heel. I end up wearing my Dansko clogs more around the house, to be honest. These Tara maryjanes are quite nice, however. The heel is quite supportive -- far more than I've gotten used to, I'm afraid -- it felt like wearing regular shoes. Size 39 fit my 8.5 feet quite well, and I received several "Ooooh, those are cute!" comments as I wore them for a full day with no break-in problems. I'd buy them again, but wish that dansko had more shoes like them to choose from. Zappos, of course, was prompt and wonderful!

Cuter than I expected - I think these shoes actually look cuter in person than they do in the picture. They also make your foot look smaller, always a plus! I have a wide foot, and the regular width fit me. But I think the shoes run a little small. I usually wear an 8.5, but in these I'm going to go back and order the 9. I haven't worn them yet, but they seem really comfortable.

Very disappointing - I loved the look of these shoes and ordered them because I already have a lot of Dansko's which I wear all the time, HOWEVER, I have found these shoes very uncomfortable, and impossible to wear. I tried everything I can think of to make them more comfortable, and in the end I just stopped trying to wear them.

This is a great shoe, but on my foot, it is a little tight across the area just above the toes. I guess because it is straight across and not curved. It’s okay though - just have to be careful not to wear a thick sock! It's a beautiful shoe and I feel so great wearing it. Really classy looking. Had to return the first one and get a half size larger, which surprised me since I didn't think Dansko made 1/2 sizes. I usually wear either a 37 or 38 - but this is a 37.5 & is just great. Any bigger & it would slip off.

Love this shoe! I'm very happy with my new Dansko shoes. They're like a grown-up version of a Mary Jane. I've been wearing Dansko shoes for years. I bought the Tara in the brown leather and I like them so much I'm thinking about buying the black suede. They're easy to dress up or wear with jeans! Not as comfortable as the Dansko Sonja clog or Monika, but this is a completely different style with a higher heel.

Love 'em - What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is a great looking, comfortable shoe. It is a great quality shoe, well-made, but a bit pricey even for the high quality. It can be dressed up or down and the style goes just as well with skirts or pants. I haven't had any problems with discomfort, but I don't have any foot problems. Another reviewer mentioned that they look clunky, but I disagree. However, I also wear Dr. Martens, so perhaps it's all relative.

Snappy work/dress shoe - Comfortable and stylish for work and after hours, especially as the weather gets cooler. I was surprised at how warm the shoe was inside without stockings, so if you're feet sweat, where something with them, if not, no worries.

It's A Winner!!! This shoe is fantastic! It's stylish, sturdy and very comfortable! It gives a professional look, and the thick heel provides excellent balance that prevents wobbling, even when I'm walking very fast. It's a great shoe. Definitely worth the money!!
