The Tyra sandals are the most comfortable I've ever worn. Feels like walking on a cloud. Mine wear well and last years. They get compliments. Unfortunately I can only wear these sandals in the Rose line as I need a C width. C is the norm in Italy.

This is the greatest shoe ever made. I have had a new pair of these every summer for the past 5 years. It is super comfortable, durable, and great-looking. It runs true to size and will support your foot like no other flip-flop made. If you can get them on sale, buy them fast! You won't be disappointed!

Taryn Rose shoes can't be beat for comfort. I love Taryn Rose, and despite the cost, feel they're worth it. I especially love the comfort of these sandals; however, I bought another pair of these sandals, in a different color, about a year earlier from another store. I loved them so bought a second pair from Zappos. Unfortunately, they broke. The strap that attaches to the sole between the toes came loose while I was wearing them. (Imagine trying the walk through a mall and get back to my car to get home just to change shoes.) Normally I would have just been disappointed, but at the cost of Taryn Rose shoes, I decided to ask Zappos to return them. It was pleasant to learn that they would, indeed, accept the return, but I was dismayed by the email that I got which said that shoes are expected to last "3 to 6 months," and that to return them I have to send them back in original packaging. I feel certain that Zappos will nevertheless accept them for a return, although that process is underway.

I’m looking for comfort. These sandals are extremely comfortable and stylish, something hard to find. The cushioning and thick foam sole make it a pleasure to walk in them. I only wish Taryn Rose made loafers as comfortable in a C width, as is the norm in Italy.

Zappos is a great online resource for shoes at reasonable prices. Quick delivery, excellent customer service, saves me money and time.\r\n\r\nThe Taryn Rose Tyra sandals I bought are perfect. Fit is true to size, comfort is amazing. Summer is our longest season and I often wear sandals. Will be buying more of Taryn Rose Tyra sandals. Pretty on the feet. If you are looking for quality, comfort and timeless style, try a pair.

I have 10, yes - ten pair of Tyra's, and have been faithfully wearing them for 5 seasons. They are extremely comfortable and a must if you spend time on your feet. Yes, the lining may come up, simply use a little white glue...no biggie for comfort. Note: The strap between the toes will stretch. My experience is to have that strap a little snug. Within a day, it is a custom fit.

Taryn Rose Newbie - Having a slightly wide foot, I had always been disappointed that Taryn Rose shoes don't come wider than a B width. Being a thong sandal, the Taryn Rose Tyra accommodates my foot just fine. I am more than impressed with the support that they offer. I wore them recently on a trip where I did a lot of city walking. I have been won over.

Most Comfortable Sandal Ever - I wear - true 13s and the 43s in this are the best sandal ever, even though they are a bit small. (Please make more true 13s!) The thong does not cause constant pain between the toes. The Poron sole is so soft I could walk for miles in them. Oddly enough, just looking at them they may seem chunky, but they absolutely do not wear or feel that way. Plus, they almost never try to wiggle off my feet like all other sandals I've worn have. OK, they twist on a rare occasion, but not like other sandals. Sure, sometimes I do feel a light pinch between the toes, but that is so rare and it never lasts for more than a second. Comfortable and beautiful. All I had hoped for when ordering. I hope I can continue ordering in true 13s from Taryn Rose in the future. (I also have other Taryn Rose styles in 43.)

Great Sandal - These sandals seem very comfortable, although I haven't gotten a chance to really wear, since it is still cold here in New England. They do run a bit small, I would size a 1/2 up, even maybe a full size. I usually wear an 8 1/2 in sandals, but I need the 9 in these. I would recommend.

This is a great flip flop. I love it. Very comfortable. I did get a bad blister the first time I wore them but now I have no problem with them. The look is great. I might get another pair. I love Zappos.

Oh my! These are the softest sandals I have every put on. They mold nicely to your feet, and they have really good arch support and even though they are flat. The shoe is really stylish and looks very different on. They will look great with jeans, cropped pants, a skirt, slacks or shorts. I wore them right out of the box. I have hard to fit feet, but my feet fit these very nicely. The zipper on the heel is really cool!
