About David Tate
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.
The design team at David Tate is brimming over with fresh ideas, and these ideas are being executed by the greatly skilled craftsmen employed in their workshops. David Tate uses nothing but the finest skins and fabrics in their shoes, and special attention is given to fitting and comfort to please women of discriminating tastes.

David Tate Reviews
Bought these shoes for a wedding last year...after sitting for the wedding and moving around very little for the reception I was slipping them off under the table because the straps at the toe dug into my feet badly. Heel height was wonderful...beautiful shoe just horribly uncomfortable to walk in. Decided I would give it another try and wore to a recent wedding...bought some gelsoles for under the feet thinking that if my foot was slipping it would prevent that...still even with the gels and some padding on the outside of my big toe it was almost unbearable. Love the shoe...just not made for my sensitive feet...straps just dig in my big toes like crazy!
I love these booties. I wear them almost everyday. If they had them in brown I would buy them in a heart beat!
My current running favorite! I don't miss a chance to wear them! They are classy, fashionable and comfortable. I own them in a Burgundy, size 7.
I love these boots! I have EE feet and 18 inch calves at the widest part, and they fit perfectly. I had to work a little to zip them up the first couple of wears, but they are not tight at all. I love the way the leather has been tooled, and the ankles fit nicely without sagging. I tried at least 5 pairs before finding these--thanks for the exceptional service, Zappos!
I have had trouble finding a shoe that fit my foot due to bunion issues. However, this shoe allowed for some stretch and now I can walk without the pain.
Shoes are just as pictured. Very comfortable and stylish. True to size also. Good shoe for work every day.
I love these shoes! This is my second pair, I originally bought them in silver for my son's wedding. When I needed a pair of black shoes, I figured that I might as well buy what I already knew was a great shoe!
I have these on my feet as I type as a reminder to do this; they fit true to size. The calf circumference is a little tight but then again, I could stand to drink a few fewer beers! I do wish the "tooled leather" look on the boot shaft were really true tooled leather rather than a puffed-leather-in-contoured-shape finish. They need a wee bit more arch support but these were comfortable from the first moment I put them on!
These shoes are really great. I normally wear a 7 1/2 N and I ordered that size and they fit really well. I was able to ut them on and wear them with no break-in period. I would recommend them even those they were pricey.
These are made from very soft leather, so they can accommodate wide feet well. However, there is not much cushioning at the sole - they felt paper thin. The style is nice, they do not look too motherly.
I ordered an 8N. This is a nice basic flat but as with most ballerina flats there isn't a lot of padding in the footbed. It did feel nice and narrow though and I didn't walk out of it so I'm pretty happy. Narrow shoes are hard to find.
This shoe feels almost too good! I have never before gotten a shoe that fits right out of the box. I have worn it 3 times, and it still feels great. I have many problems with my feet, with none of them being more than a short fat foot with bunions and hammer toes. But I get compliments on this shoe and I don't feel like it looks "old ladyish." Thank you.
This is my second pair of the black ones: I wore out my first pair. I also had some purple ones that were great. I am very hard to fit and my heel is so narrow I can wear only shoes with a strap. It's difficult to find decent shoes with a strap. I like these a lot and recommend them, especially if you wear a narrow.
I bought this shoe about a month ago. It is, without a doubt, the most comfortable boot I've ever had in my 66 years. It's so classic looking, very soft leather and the heel height is perfect. I usually wear a 9.5-S, though got these in a 10N. I find D.T. shoes a bit narrower. At any rate, I wish they had these in a dark brown. I won't buy another boot, except this. I'm smitten with my David Tate boots. Of course, I received them the next day. Can't get any better than that!
I love the boots! The site could be improved. First pair I ordered had obvious flaw on toe. Returned with no problem. Replacement came and a week later I saw the boots on another site for less. I informed Zappos, and they had no interest in crediting me for the difference. I would have spent the credit on shoes, BTW. As a result, I will price shoes at other sites first.
When they said the circumference was 19 1/4... I do believe they made a drastic typo... maybe 16 1/4 but not 19 1/4! Beautiful but beware if you have athletic calves (16 1/2+)! Other than that, I wear an 8 and it fit for shoe size and width (medium) + good arch. Truly disappointed!
This has a nice style to it, something different than the regular boots although it has a wide toe box which is just fine but the top was poorly made you can see the inside sticking out like a fur...so off it goes.
I like the shoe - wish I had gotten them in a narrow instead of medium but they are very nice. I would recommend them to a friend.
