Customer Reviews Taryn Rose Kelsey

WOW! I've been a Ferragammo and Stuart Weitzman wearer for years, to get a narrow heel fit. After a recent encounter with stress fractures in both feet, I decided to give these a try. The heel clings to my feet, and I have plenty of comfort in my toes. I haven't had on any other shoes since the day I bought these! They're stylish, beyond comfortable, and I've had compliments! I only worry I'll wear them out quickly. I'll save the Ferragammos, etc., for special events, but these are now my every day shoes.

Fantastic comfort - I have 3 pairs of these and have a hard time putting on any other shoes if I'm going to be traveling, walking, and need to be a little more dressed. While not the most high style shoe, I get a lot of compliments wearing them and my feet feel great. I know the Taryn Rose shoes are expensive, but when you consider how much you'll wear them it becomes more reasonable. I have other styles with higher heels that are also great (not even after the 14 hours the day of my daughter's wedding.

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.

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!

Love these - I was reluctant to spend so much on a casual shoe but I was eager to pay anything for something styish and comfortable. I love these. I will buy another pair. They felt great out of the box and still feel great. There are imitations that are still pricey but they are not even close to the comfort of these shoes.

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!

Ouch - Unfortunately these shoes are not very comfortable, I could not wait to take them off. I am so sorry I spent so much money for them.

This shoe has changed! I have worn this shoe before and recently ordered what I thought would be an exact replacement - exact same size as the one I had worn for over a year. Unfortunately after I had worn the new shoe I discovered that this shoe had apparently been redesigned just enough for it to be very uncomfortable. So now I have an expensive pair of shoes that I can not wear. I had also purchased it in navy and will be returning it for a full refund since luckily I had not worn it. I ordered again in 1/2 size larger and anticipate this shoe will fit. Needless to say I feel someone ripped off since my original Kelsey was perfect in a size 10, however my second size 10 Kelsey does not fit and is useless to me. The picture of the bottom of the shoe is of the original Kelsey, not the one you actually shipped to me. I can only hope that your customer service dept. will contact me concerning my disappointment. I guess I will see what happens now!

The Taryn Rose shoes are great on comfort, but fall a little short in material quality. For instance, the microfiber Donald Pliners look sleek enough to wear for any professional occasion with skirts and even most dress occasions. The Taryn Rose Kelseys do not. They look like "comfort shoes."

This shoe is definitely disappointing for the price and all the orthopedic hoopla. It is true the shoe is soft as a slipper and lightweight. I bought it because I have a problem on one foot with a painful bunion. The shoe does not hurt my bunion. However, the sole is so thin that after walking in it about three hours in the mall, I had pain in the ball of my foot and the heel. There is no arch support and the "padding" in about 1/8". It feels like you are walking directly on the pavement. I can wear this shoe for short periods of time, but for an extended period.

These weren't as cute as I thought that they would be but they were a wonder to walk on - UNTIL three weeks later and the soles on both shoes were separating from the shoe. And these things cost a fortune!!!

Big disappointment - When I first tried on this shoe, I thought they were great, so I did not return them. 2 hours into wearing them I found them to be completely overrated. There is no support at all in this shoe. What a huge waste of money. I bought these for a comfortable work shoe. I am so disappointed.
