Customer Reviews David Tate Rain

I have to have a wide width shoe (big bunion), so was happy to see this available in a size 12 ww, and with a low heel (bad knees, so I can't wear too high of heels). I first ordered the WW, way too big, so I exchanged for the W. It fits better, but still a bit big, this time with the ankle strap more than the strap at the front of the foot. I don't like that it has velcro to close the ankle strap, it doesn't seem like it will stay closed after multiple wears. It also wasn't able to close tight enough, I would have rather had a buckle, especially at this price point. Also, one of the shoes was missing 2 of the rhinestones, right at the top, if it was closer to the edge, it wouldn't have been as noticeable. Again, for this price point, I shouldn't have to find extra rhinestones to glue on. They do look much nicer in person than what is pictured, but unfortunately, I'm going to have to send these back.

Loved the look of these shoes, and are overall comfortable - but they definitely run wide. The ankle straps attach with Velcro and are too long. I don’t have dainty ankles at all (they tend to be a bit swollen most of the time), but I still have to pull the ankle straps so tight that there is not much Velcro making contact and I don’t think they’d hold very securely. Also too wide in the ball of the foot. This works well on my right foot where I have a bunion, but way too wide on the left. Beautiful materials and color, though! If you have wide or swollen feet, these would be a great option.

I ordered an 8.5Narrow and a 9N. The 8.5N fit perfectly on the top but it looked like my heel was a tad over the back. The 9N was just a bit too wide on the top part but the length was perfect. I went with the 9N. I have a narrow foot with high arch. I wear an 8.5N in Naturalizer for comparison. It seems that once you go to size 9, they make the shoe slightly wider. Wish they wouldn’t. It’s a beautiful color in Navy and the rhinestones add a nice feminine touch. The heel height is very comfortable, yet still on the dressy side. I no longer torture my feet in high heels.

They are really cute, but my feet are wide across the toes- duck shaped feet. They are too tight over my toe area. Sigh.

Out of 8 pairs of shoes I kept this ONE. I'll use for for a few hours for my son's wedding, then they go to the back of the closet. Not really a true WW, but I'll make it work. Style is lovely. Thankful for the velcro so I can make these work.

Ordered this shoe two different times and each time came missing a rhinestone. Makes me question quality. For $120 a pair, this shouldn’t be the case. Returning both pairs

It fits 11N well. The ankle strap makes the sandal secure. A nicely proportioned sandal. I can no longer wear heels, so this little block heel works great. I wish I could get it in silver too.

Love these shoes!! I can’t wear heals anymore, and this shoe gave me a little lift, but with a full wide heal so I wasn’t wobbly. They were very comfortable from the first time I put them on, and looked very pretty with my formal gown.

Fit was on the small end - no cushy-ness under the ball of my foot which I'm sure a lot of people do fine with but it feels like I am walking on my bones so it really makes a difference for me. Also I have plantar fasciitis which can act up very quickly if not wearing appropriate footwear. So, I couldn't wear these. Plus my bunion was pushing up against the shoe so it definitely is not for me. Having said this - these shoes are absolutely adorable! If I didn't have foot problems I would absolutely keep theses. Unfortunately they have to go back. I'm sure they will make someone very happy! They're very snazzy!

Very pretty shoe but didnt fit me right.

I ordered an 8 1/2 W, an almost impossible size to find in a good looking dressy shoe. Not only is this shoe beautiful to look at for a dressing or even formal occasion, but it's comfortable and even makes my old lady feet look better! Thank you David Tate and thank you Zappos!

These sandals are perfect for me to wear with the gown I'm wearing to my granddaughter's wedding. I appreciate the heel height and overall look of the sandals. The heels won't show in the long gown I'm wearing, but the criss-cross straps with sparkling rhinestones will as I walk and sit. Perfect! Caution: The first pair I ordered had both a few rhinestones missing on each shoe, and a couple of rows of rhinestones missing completely on one shoe. I reordered, and the new ones I received were perfect.

I had ordered the David Tate Amber sandals and liked them, but the Rain sandals arrived and they were absolutely perfect in every way, elegant, beautiful fit and comfortable for this 80 year old grandma with knee replacements, bunions and wide feet! They will be perfect for a formal wedding in March. Thank you Zappos and David Tate

Beautiful shoe but not wide enough.

These are very comfortable. I bought them for my son's wedding, to wear when the dancing got serious and I had to remove my high heels. Look attractive, too.

I love these shoes. As a “mature” person, I can’t handle much heel, so the heel shape and height are perfect! I’ve also got a bunion and this feels very comfortable. I purchased for my son’s wedding in May so I’ll give them the real test then. But for now, I’m thrilled!

They fit! Woo hoo! The strap over the instep was a little stiff, but I massaged it with my fingers and it softened up enough that it didn't rub. I have a wide foot, a high instep, and a large ankle, but these fit! Wore them to a wedding, danced a lot, walked a lot - they were comfortable. So happy with these! I wore them under a jumpsuit, but they would like great with a dress also.

Beautiful, comfortable, and offer stability but ultimately decided on a younger vibe for son’s big day. Color is between a beige and elephant gray and material is suede like.

Lovely shoe that I plan to wear to a wedding, I had ordered a 9, but it was a little long. You were out of stock for 8.5. I was notified that Zappos had received an 8.5 so I was able to get it. Thank you for helping me. I will continue to use Zappos.

too silver

The only 2 drawbacks for these shoes was the fact that the back strap wasn’t as high as should be. But that wasn’t enough to make me want to return them because they did fit my double wide foot and are pretty. Also they are suede not satin like the ad said for the silver.

I liked the shoe but not sure I wanted velcro for such a dressy shoe

I ordered a twelve instead of my usual 11, and they were just too big. They are a beautiful sandal, and I loved the heel height. I returned them. Should have ordered my normal size.

This shoe was too wide since I ordered a wide because the normal width was not available-otherwise it was a nice comfortable shoe

the shoe is beautiful but the back strap was too long. I didn't keep my foot stable and I am afraid of turning an ankle.
