These sandals have gorgeous metallic straps and a super-comfortable footbed. I was so sad the straps across the forefoot were too loose!
Super comfortable. Zipper is perfect touch. Look great with jeans and slacks.
Liked the styling, the leather, and the soft black of this loafer. Was a little tight across the band, with my high instep, but I think it would've loosened up. However, I am returning because my little hammertoe bump was noticeable under the soft leather. Otherwise, I would have kept this attractive shoe.
Oh I wish these boots had more room in the toebox! A great looking boot, with slim calves. But I'm returning them because they're so tight at the little toe.
I found these far too tight across the little toes, and I have narrow feet! Despite how good looking they are, I have to send them back.
I laughed out loud at the reviewer who said she wanted "real flat shoes, not slippers!" I couldn't agree more. For some reason, it's hard to find a nice flat or near flat shoe that comes up over the toes (so it doesn't dig into them), has some kind of added design feature such as a bow or jewel, and isn't a slipper that scrunches up around your foot. I want a solid shoe. Taryn Rose used to make several nice styles like this but not anymore. Couldn't find a Donald Pliner one either. And I don't want to pay almost $400 for a Sarah Jessica Parker shoe even though she does add that extra touch of style I'm looking for. I'm hoping this shoe satisfies all my requirements!
Very comfortable and I like that there is no soft material but the metallic stripe is waaaay too blingy for me. Giving some thought on how to dull it down and still keep it's integrity. Super nice other than that. There is plenty of room in the toe and the heel hits at just the right spot. Out of the several styles I have tried recently this one fits like a shoe should!
Love ara shoes, including this style. Great support and fit. But I'm just not into having so much black patent on a sneaker... would REALLY like these in black if they were nubuck or distressed suede. (Keeping this sneaker in the distressed silver tone, which I LOVE.)
I ordered these about 1.5 years ago for my grandmother, who is now 96. It was one pair out of about 5. After she tried the other styles on, we sent the rest back and kept these. Now she's asking to me to purchase another pair because she wears these all day, everyday, around the house and outside. She says they're very comfortable.
Really liked the style of this shoe. Although the length was too long (extra space at back of heel) and it was a bit too soft (sides are not rigid, and I was looking for more support).
Really cute shoes but a little too wide and I don't have a narrow foot.
Not quite cute enough, kind of looks like something my mother would like. Also runs a little short.
Not quite cute enough, also runs a little short.
These are longer than they look in photos - probably an inch between the end of my toe and the inside end of the shoe. The design looked more over-the-top in person, too.
I wanted to like these, I really did. The leather is incredibly soft plus they are beautiful. Sadly, back they go. Too narrow AND the sole is, in reality, about 1/2 as thick as it appears in the picture. I need a thicker, more cushioned sole for my feet, legs, back AND Morton Neuroma. I kept the Alegria Essence & Alegria Taylor that arrived in the same shipment. Thanks, Zappos!
The shoes seemed very long for size 8 1/2 and not very wide for being sized as wide.
These shoes are fabulous. The leather is beautiful, the style is kind to my wide feet, the toe box is generous and covers my bunion. They run small in my opinion, I had to get a 1/2 larger. They are great looking to wear to work with a skirt, flat enough to be very comfortable and the low heel dresses them up a bit. LOVE this shoe!
I was a bit disappointed about the look of these shoes. They present better online than in real life. For the cost, I thought they would look a little more expensive and high quality, but frankly they look a little cheap to me. For anyone considering these, I would suggest finding a similar style but not this specific shoe.
Love the Rachel. Comfort, style and fit.
Nice shoe and a good looking flat. If you need arch support, it's ok but not great. It would not be good wearing all day while traveling.
