David Tate Reviews
These shoes are darling! They are very comfortable and stylish for work. There is just enough of a heel to make them dressy. I bought them in the tan and black as well. I wish they came in more colors!
Love these shoes! But definitely size down. I usually squeeze my feet into a 9WW and I need an 8WW in these. Adorable and comfortable.
I like the looks of these shoes very much. In fact, I bought two pairs. Unfortunately, they have turned out to get wider as the day goes on. In other words, they expand/stretch width-wise. It gets to the point that they actually have fallen off of my feet when I'm walking around the office because of their greater size. Super embarassing! I usually always wear a "wide" shoe but this time, should have ordered a medium width, I guess.
Very cute and stylish, but rubs a bit on the top. With a little Band Aid Friction Block, I've managed to avoid blisters. Also, the lack of venting causes my feet to smell in these shoes. I still wear them though. :)
I really like the look of these shoes -- terrific with pants and with skirts. They are reasonably comfortable with my inserts for arch support, but they stretched out quickly and now are a bit "sloppy" on my heel.
I have a wide width and high arch and David Tate shoes are super comfortable and wide. Most times I just take a W where other manufacturers I need a double wide width. Great quality shoes, however, on this one after a few wears it is a little big for me. I will save it for the hot weather when my foot swells.
The reviews telling how soft the leather is and how immediately comfortable when first put on sold me. One review told how her daughter said, they look like bedroom slippers! So she sent them back. They are soft and comfortable and silver pretty. Just right to wear to a wedding of my son's. My mom called many dressy shoes slippers! So be it! I'll keep them for dressy and wear the slippers with pride. I was also sold in trying Zappos for the first time by the raving reviews others gave this company!
I just received these shoes & they are beautiful. I usually wear an 8 or 8 1/2 & I ordered the size 8 1/2 & they are a perfect fit. I think the size 8 would have been short in the heel area. I ordered the black & they have the perfect amount of rhinestones very pretty. I'm thinking about ordering another color.
I usually have a difficult time finding shoes that fit and are stylish - a 10.5 W is not easy to match - and when I found these among the few black sandals I could try, I was hesitant. I've worn them a few times now, and I am falling more in love each time. For those with wide feet, these are really your friend. Because the velcroed top section and ankle section have no loop that you have to loop through, you really can go as wide as you want - the flexibility is HUGE. I missed that loop at first, since it makes it harder to cinch them tight. But compared to the loops that I often have to stretch out and fight with, I am happy with how these work. Plus, they have my name, so I had to get them!
I received a narrow, but it was still too loose for my narrow foot. In addition, the edges around the toes are coarse and would be sure to rub and blister my big toe. They are a nice looking shoe and I was sorry that I couldn't wear them.
I have the biggest feet on the planet, and these shoes fit, are stylish, and comfortable! I wear a 10.5 WW and I am very happy with this shoe! Buy it! No, wait, don't. When I wear mine out, there won't be any left!
Superb shoes. See my review on the silver Cabos. FYI: The silver shoes run wider than in the red or black versions.
I have fairly wide feet, generally wearing a size 10.5 to 11 and have a high instep & bunions. I generally need a very squared toebox and this shoe manages to do it while keeping its looks! They are very comfortable--the leather uppers don't rub at all. The shoe flexes such that it doesn't irritate my bunion with the moderate walking I've done in them all around the house. The silver shoe uppers run larger (read: wider) than the black or red versions of this shoe. The silver 10.5 wide was not wide enough and my feet kept slipping through the 10 WW and 10.5 WW. The red and black 10.5 WW fit well all around. In the end I kept the 10.5 WW red shoes which I have to say are both darling and unexpected. I hope this helps!
I bought these for a special event at which I spent several hours on my feet. They were very comfortable and easy to walk in, even for someone like me who rarely wears sandals. They are flexible to go with formal or less dressy attire.
I've worn a 9WW for 8 years - bought these in my size, and they were enormous. My feet were swimming in them. If your shoes usually feel a little tight, these will feel great. No adjustment of the lower band, so order to fit. Cute, though!
These shoes are so comfortable I am ordering another pair today! The glitter is rich looking. Can be worn casual or dressy!
I am the unfortunate receiver of horrible feet from hereditary reasons to athletic injury. I have to pick my shoes wisely and very few actually look like someone in their later 30's would wear; I saw these, however, I knew I had stumbled upon my summer shoe. I am typically a 8EE with a high arch. I will say, however, my heels are narrow, which can make the fit difficult with any shoe. I wish I had purchased a 8E and I think that would have done the trick. So, they swim on me a bit and it's not the most comfortable. When you get the shoes: they are real leather and have a hard bottom, only wear them on carpet when trying them on! I would have sent them back for a proper size, but walking around my house, through the warfare of toddlers cheerios and other mishaps, the bottoms took to everything and anything immediately. So, they are mine to keep.
I was most impressed by the service and expediency of Zappos. I had ordered several pairs of dressy sandals and they arrived so quickly. As I only needed one pair, I returned the others with ease. The David Tate Rosette were the most comfortable and very pretty. The heel is also a perfect height for me. I haven't worn the shoes yet but I will wear them to a wedding in the fall.



Tate Shoe Company was founded by four brothers from a family of traditional shoemakers. They followed in the footsteps of their father who served in executive positions with several international shoe manufacturing companies in the post-war era of the 1950s. After investigating the flourishing retail shoe market of the 1970s, they concluded that there was a need for a fresh-looking line of ladies' dress, casual, and comfort footwear that combined high quality with innovative styles; David Tate Shoes was born. David Tate is headquartered in Southern California, which is widely recognized as an area of fashion leadership.
