Like walking on air! They hardly weigh a thing and provide excellent arch support. Understated and fabulous in a low key way. My favorite kind of thing! Plus, I have a narrow foot and was reluctant to order these B widths, but they work even though they are roomy.

I've had my pair of Kelseys for about three years. It is my go to shoe for any and all occasions. I would have thought it a delicate shoe except for my experience wearing it at a wedding in the Texas Hill Country recently. It poured during the ceremony and we were all standing under a tent in two inches of water. The shoes were soaked and caked with mud. When I got back to the hotel and took them off, I was certain they were ruined. When I returned to San Diego, they were still wet. I put them by the water heater to dry. After brushing, spraying with ZAP deodorizer and edging the sole line with black stuff, the shoes are now as good as new. These are tough little shoes, well made and ready for anything life delivers your way. I wish I could afford all the colors!

This is the best shoe; I know it's a bit expensive, but worth every penny. This is my second pair and I wear it daily, it seems. First pair lasted over two years.

This is an excellent walking around shoe. I wore it on a trip to NYC and walked all day. The sizing for me was one whole size larger (I tried it on in a local store so I knew what size to order). It's an expensive shoe, but well worth the expense.

Wow, what a great little shoe. They are very easy to dress up or wear with jeans! I first purchased the Kelsey shoe in navy. The shoe was so comfortable that I ordered the Kelsey shoe in black! Now, brown is a must for fall. Zappos description of sizing is accurate. Order one size larger than normal and you won't be disappointed!

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.

Being 75, this has become my favorite shoe. Very comfortable and great fit as I usually require AA or Narrow. Follow the size chart as it does run small (1 full size). I will continue buying every color that comes available. Simply classic!

Living in a city where walking is part of life, these are an essential part of my shoe wardrobe. In fact, they are practically my whole shoe wardrobe. Built for comfort and good support, they are simply the best. These are the only shoes I can walk in all day!

Kelsey shoes a must for my wardrobe! This is my second time buying this shoe. After years, my first pair needed replacing for going out although I now will still use them for daily running around and doing errands. I have bunions and walking for any distance makes my feet hurt. Kelsey is a very simple stylish shoe that can be worn with almost anything and is extremely comfortable. A great little shoe, to grab first, to go almost anywhere and do almost anything. My feet never hurt when wearing this shoe, no matter how long I am on the go.

I love this shoe! I own one in every color. I could walk all day and never think about my feet. Stretch fabric fits comfortably and secure. Important to fit yourself with correct size. I normally wear a 9 and I order a 10 in this. If you order too small, it won't be comfortable.

Waiting for size 42 - This is the most comfortable shoe ever. Have them in several colors. Wear them everyday and have been waiting for availability in size 42 again. Please hurry.

Skimping on quality - I have been a fan of this shoe for many years. It's still good, but there have been some noticeable short cuts in quality. Materials, specifically. Still a decent fit.

Comfortable but runs small - Taryn Rose shoes are comfortable enough to almost warrant their high price. However, I need a much larger size. I am usually a size 10 and can fit in their 11s/42 but feel much more comfortable in their 12s/43.

Delicate disappointment. This is the fifth pair of Taryn Rose shoes I've tried to make work for me. As with the others, I've found the materials beautiful and refined, the workmanship admirable, but why on earth do they make the soles so thin? I would never want to step outside in something so slender. Perhaps this line is intended for penthouse dwellers who can send out for groceries? Also, since I encountered sizing problems with the other models I tried, I had hoped that Kelsey, being microfiber, would be totally comfortable and forgiving, but though the length was OK, I found it to be way too tight across the instep. I know this brand has a strong following, but I think its admirers and I live in very different worlds. Here, it rains a lot, and I sure wouldn't want to get this shoe (or any of the others I've tried on) wet!

I agree! Overrated! I have to agree with the folks who have said that this shoe was a disappointment. In its behalf, I will say that the Italian craftsmanship is magnificent. The leather lining is like buttah! That said, I agree that there is no support, and these would be more like a slipper worn for entertaining at home. If that is what you want to blow your $$ on, then they would look beautiful with velvet palazzos by a roaring fire. If you want to walk around Paris and Rome, get something sturdier. These wouldn't last a day!
