These shoes fell apart on the third day wearing them! The inside pad was glued on cheaply and it started peeling back into a painful roll after one day of wearing these shoes. By the way, I don't have sweaty feet and it was not a hot day. The peeling pad rolled up under the balls of my feet and caused pain and blisters. I would return them, but they were worn outside. These are terrible shoes! Overpriced and cheaply made. DO NOT buy these!

Pass on this one -
Looks great, but very unhappy with the fit. The strap between the toe gets stretched out quickly. I sent the shoes back once and had the same problem with the second pair. Nothing weird about my feet. I am usually very happy with Taryn Rose.

Almost gave them a second chance!
I wanted to give these another try after having bought them a few years ago and realizing I had thrown away my money. The sandal cracked and the liner peeled, plus the thong area rubbed terribly, and I can usually wear thong sandals without a problem. I figured that the defects had probably been corrected by this time. However, when I read the latest review (3-30-2008,) I was reminded of what a rip off this style is. If the saleslady warns of the liner lifting, why on earth would I pay this amount for a sandal?!

A+ in comfort -
This sandal is great for people with arch problems. They feel like wearing slippers. They are cute, comfy and versatile. LOVE THIS SHOE! However, the glued liner did lift after the first wearing, but I was warned about this from the saleslady from the Taryn Rose store. Zappos actually has more selection than the Taryn Rose store itself!

Additional Brand Information
About Taryn Rose…
In 1998, the footwear industry changed forever with the arrival of Taryn Rose International, a line of luxury shoes as fashionable as they are functional. Founded by a young orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Taryn Rose, the brand struck a chord with women desiring to be well dressed while having a sense of well being and very quickly established a dedicated following.
Hand-sewn in Italy, Taryn Rose shoes are made with the finest materials and are known the world over for their style, ease and remarkable fit. Taryn Rose’s inspiration lies in the evolution of people's lives and how fashion can fuse with function in the most innovative way. Taryn Rose consistently takes on the challenge to find the next breakthrough in technology and remain on the cutting-edge of design and manufacturing methods. In 1998, Taryn Rose became the first footwear company to utilize the NASA-created Poron cushioning that gained the nickname “memory foam” for its ability to retain 95% of its cushioning after years of use. This breakthrough was followed by the patented Aqua Rose camoscio in 2006, giving customers a water-proof suede that could actually be worn on a rainy day. Every Taryn Rose shoe is designed to meet the lifestyle needs and fashion cravings of today's on-the-go individual. The recent eco-friendly offering literally helps the earth-conscious customer measure her carbon footprint. Each season, Taryn Rose continues to exceed standards and bring customers the latest and best advancements the industry has to offer.
What makes a Taryn Rose shoe different? Arch Support: Taryn Rose shoes are built on an asymmetrical last, allowing for full arch support, which increases the foot’s mobility within the shoe, decreases fatigue and protects the ankles. Breathability: Taryn Rose shoes are lined with the same final quality of leather used on the uppers, making the foot more comfortable from the inside out. It also increases breathability, because natural materials breathe in a way that synthetics cannot. Cushioning: A generous cushion of Poron® is built in to support the ball of the foot. Poron® is a foam with memory, so it literally springs back to retain its shape. Flexibility: Extra cushioning and supple materials encourage the foot to move naturally within the shoe. Lightness: Taryn Rose is constantly looking for materials to cushion the foot and provide support without adding weight. Evolutionary: Taryn Rose shoes have been designed in response to changes in the way we live. Customers lead active lives and want to be able to think on their feet. Details: Special attention is paid to the well-being of the customers and to the planet. The use of water-soluble glue is less toxic than commercial cobbler’s glues and allows the shoes to breathe and stretch naturally, decreasing tears and extending their functional life.

Polished and substantive alternative to a flip-flop -
I ordered this shoe because the Taylor was out of stock in my size in the color I needed. The lug soles are the same. I am not a big fan of this type of thong style as it's too easy for me to slide out of them as I walk, but this is the best I have ever tried. The thong piece is extremely well constructed and does not poke or irritate. The fit is somewhat narrow, which is good for this type of sandal as it makes it look more polished. I'd wear this dressy or casual - pretty much everywhere except the office. Size is true to Taryn Rose sizing - I am a 10.5B and the 41 fit perfectly.

They might be hip, but...
They killed my feet. They rubbed my feet, and not only in between toes. While walking I had to make frequent stops. And today, when I put them on, I just couldn't move. How can one go so wrong with a pair of thongs? The $10 plastic ones made in China are more comfy! Some of Rose's shoes are comfy (Kelsey, Torino, Venice) but not these ones or Tricia ... I couldn't even enjoy the pillow like sole, I was in such a great pain ... I just hope I'm not the only one completely unsatisfied by these super overpriced shoes ...

Great sandals -
The Tyra is a great sandal. I needed a sandal with some arch support and comfort and these are them. I was afraid they would blister between my toes, but the leather is so soft and supple you don't even feel it. I liked them so much I bought a pair for my sister. Taryn Rose shoes are wonderful... now if only they sold for $50 I could have them all.

Pretty Shoe -
They really are pretty. And, it's up to you to determine if they are worth the price. Comfortable, but I didn't keep them -- just too much money for me to justify the cost for a sandal. I do have other Taryn Rose shoes, and love them. They run about a half size small; the width was right on.

Tyra by Taryn Rose -
This is the third pair of these that I purchased. I try to get a new color every year. I have trouble wearing anything between my toes - I always blister. The Tyra, however is the most comfortable sandal that I have ever worn. I will even wear them when I go walking on vacation, they never hurt.

The idea of paying so much money for a thong is disgusting. But...these are worth it. These are my 6th pair of Tyra’s. They are the most comfortable I've ever worn. I have had a problem with the leather insole coming unglued on some of my others. Hopefully, the company has improved its quality control with these.

I have approx 15 pairs of Taryn Rose Tyra shoes. It is my absolute favorite shoe for the warm weather. I am a runner and have foot problems and the Tyra is cushioned so well it is very comfortable for my foot. The styles and colors are fabulous, too!

This is the fifth pair of these sandals that I have purchased. Needless to say - I adore them. They are the only shoes that I have ever found that I can wear from morning to night and not have my feet hurt at the end of the day. I highly recommend them. I suggest purchasing 1/2 size larger than your normal shoe.

I have lots of problems with fractures in my feet and toes and when
I come out of a post-surgical boot this is the most awesome shoe ever. Never want to take it off.

Taryn Rose Tyra-
I'm a big Taryn Rose fan because her shoes are made well and have such superior arch support. I purchased several pairs of this sandal because I couldn't decide (via the website photos) which color I liked best. I was a little concerned about the Tyra because of the one unfavorable review. So, I picked my favorite color Tyra and did an experiment by wearing them every day for the past 3 months. I am happy to report I have not any problems with the Tyra. What I did discover however, is that although I ordered the same size in all 4 Tyra's, each one is actually a little different in size and fit. I guess what I'm saying is that even if the size is "41" for example, another Tyra (or any other Taryn Rose shoe) may be a different size, even though it says it is the same size. I learned that I need to order several sizes in the future and return those that aren't perfect. I'm happy with the comfort of the Tyra and they are wearing fabulously. The Tyra runs Narrow, which works well for me as I normally have to wear a Narrow shoe. The soles still look brand new and the tops look great. I would highly recommend the Tyra and other Taryn Rose shoes.

So disapppointed!
This sandal gets good reviews, and I almost did not add my input, however I wish there had been some similar comments for me when I purchased these(and three other Taryn Rose styles -one additional pair of sandals , one boots, and one ballerina shoe.) (I bought them in boutiques - bad return policies!) Anyway, what is this thing with Taryn Rose? I spent so much more than I ever thought I would, yet I am a believer in shoes that are good for your feet, so I bought them all at about the same time. The top of the soles cracked on both pairs of sandals after about two months, the leather insole peeled, and they were not as comfortable as my Donald Pliners, of which I have many pairs (also not as pricey.) The ballerina slip ons rubbed into the arch enough to give blisters and the boots were o.k., but not worth the 500.00 plus in looks or comfort. Sorry, I think this line is extremely overpriced and some styles are so frumpy. I am a true medium width, 8 1/2 shoe with a regular arch. Most brands fit me like a glove and last and last. This line is typical of LA high priced hype. Go with Donald Pliner!!!

I own this style in the black nappa and the white patent and they are great. They look wonderful and they feel even better. These shoes have spoiled my feet. Now it's going to be hard to wear any other brand.

High Price, High Value -
I admired Taryn Rose shoes in the store for a couple years never being able to part w/ the money to buy a pair. But, I've been shopping Zappos.com for a while now and know how easy it is to order/return so I went for it. I tried 'em on to see how well they actually felt. I have a hard time taking them off. They are simple, elegant, lighweight, and SO comfortable. I can wear them w/ semi-casual and even elegant clothing. It was a stretch for the pocketbook, but no question--they are worth it. I'm so happy I'd like to get more of her shoes, but I'm not thrilled about the other styles. I'll keep checking though. By the way, I had to order a half size larger.

These are the most comfortable sandals you will ever wear. I just bought another pair in a different color. Although expensive they wear unbelievably well and last and last.
