Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width
The Bowden shoe is SO gorgeous. I have been dreaming of a Taryn Rose Oxford-wing-tip type shoe in a flat...and finally she made one! Elegant... yet it can be dressed up or down. It has a slightly different heel -- not a true ballet flat -- but still wears like a flat -- though I wish it were a true ballet flat. But it definitely runs SMALL! Order at least 1/2 size up. But it is a comfortable and sophisticated shoe. I have 10 pair of Taryn Rose flats -- and this moves into a close 2nd to my Leopard Brecks!
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Any other Taryn Rose ballet flat.

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.
