ara

The fit is off, the color is black not deep blue as I expected and they squeak obnoxiously when walking on hard floors indoors. Not what I expect in Ara products- but surprising, the shoes do not say they are by Ara- not sure if this is an off-label name for Ara or what. There is no mention of Ara on the packaging that IDs the brand as “Jenny.”

Comfortable and cute shoe with reasonable arch support. Zappos suggested a 39 based on my usual size but I had to return for a 38. I have narrowish feet and narrow heels and slip ons usually don’t stay on my foot. These do.

Love these! They have a slipper feel on the inside, but a really current look on the outside. The fit was perfect for my feet, right out of the box...no breaking in needed. The first time I wore them was to work...9 hours on my feet!

The 8.5 uk size is just right for my slightly bigger than most size 11s. Really like this shoe and wish it came in other colors. Would certainly buy more.

My second pair. Now have the pink and the blue. Fits my narrow feet. Good support, materials, quality. My go-to summer sneakers.

Squeezed my feet and unfortunately not cute in person. Something about the combination of materials made the look like granny shoes.

This shoe is a Euro Wide (width H), rather than a Euro Medium (width F). You can clearly see this in the photo of the inside of the shoe, and on the box once ordered! Beautiful shoe, but it's clearly a Wide, rather than a Medium. Sad to return.

The shoes looked beautiful, but they were so narrow that I couldn't even get my feet into them to try them on fully.

These shoes are gorgeous and very stylish. Quality materials and construction. I wish they fit. Length was fine true to size, but very, very narrow. Going up a size would not have worked, would have been too long. Sadly returned them.

This shoe is beautiful but it runs extremely small. I normally wear a size 10 but needed to return those and order the 11. The design of the shoe is really nice and is very comfortable now that I have the correct size. The upper does come up a bit higher on the foot than normal and the heel is snug but overall the shoe feels quite nice. And it is very well made. I love it!

I have a moderate bunion on one foot and wear a size 10.5 W or 11 B. These were great - a true square toe with lots of room in the toe box. And they were wide enough. But, like other commenters, unfortunately I had an issue with the cut of the shoe - the opening along the top of the foot is oddly cut and it hurt. I’ve found through sad experience that this sort of thing is unlikely to improve on wearing, so I am returning these.

I have a moderate bunion on one foot and wear a size 10.5 wide or 11 medium. I am looking for low heeled shoes for office and theater. This shoe was pretty but very stiff and not wide enough.

It was hard to do the star rating! We live in a warm climate but there are chilly mornings and in the winter there can be rain so these seemed like a natural. I wear boots like this to walk the dog in the early morning and to go to yoga. These boots look great, they appear to be well made, they're water proof and they would have been exactly what I wanted except they didn't fit right. They were wide in the heel without socks. Medium weight socks took care of that problem but then they were too narrow in the front. All that said, I have bunions and that may have been part of the problem, because I really can't go down a half size. So I would recommend them for most people but they didn't really work for me :-(

Smart looking shoe. Very substantial sole. The upper part of the shoe was very long, actually touched my ankle. Sides very high, rubbed my ankle. Very stiff. So not at all comfortable. Sent this back.

Gorgeous style, and I have a very comfy pair of Ara boots that I love, but these felt as though the sides would start cutting into my feet if I wore them for any length of time. If the price were a lot lower, I’d take a chance on them, but I don’t want to take a chance on $150+ shoes.

Cute and comfy sneaker, but the shoelaces are sparkly and I felt like I was wearing little girl shoes. Thought about just swapping out laces, but decided that, for the price, I should love them straight out of the box. Bought another ara shoe in two different colors last year, because they were so comfortable. Also, German design, and made in Portugal.

really cute shoe, but the toe box points inward, and my outer toes hit the end of the shoe. Otherwise, love the ara/jenny brands. And the fact that they are made in Portugal.

One of the most comfortable shoes in my closet. Lots of support and a perfect fit. Soft and smooth inside.

I was surprised to see that all of these straps are made of fabric - elastic, actually. Only the center piece is leather of some kind.

Normally size is 6 1/2-7. These shoes were uncomfortable immediately. You have to negotiate a bit with the cross straps, but then once on the feet, it's worse. The straps anchor rubbed up the Achilles' tendon and the rest of the heel area was rough along the seams on both sides and on both feet. Could barely stand to see if they were going to stretch out a bit. Not taking the chance...and especially disappointing given the price tag.
