Taryn Rose shoes

[Miss Lee]

Have any of you ever purchased a pair of Taryn Rose shoes? I've read that they are supposed to be very comfortable yet fashionable, a combination that is hard to find. I believe they were designed by a female orthopedic surgeon. I'd be very interested in any reviews.

I have a terrible time with shoes. I recently ordered six pairs from Zappo's and had to return all of them:-( . I have high arches, a high instep, and Morton's Toe making finding shoes a total exercise in frustration. I have a history of plantar faciitis, too. I need shoes with good cushioning and excellent arch support. What I'm looking for now is something to wear with dressy slacks and a casual loafer to wear with jeans. Any recommendations are welcome.

TIA

I've seen Taryn Rose shoes advertised in the paper (NY times), but haven't really seen them in stores. The most comfortable shoes I own are Mephisto, which you can find at Nordstrom and some specialty stores. I, too, have a tough time with shoes... especially if I need to do a lot of walking... and I swear by my Mephistos. I can walk my dog, at a very fast pace, for an hour easily in my Mephisto sandals.

I also have a history with PF and have tried on Taryn Rose shoes. They seem very comfortable and supportive, but I just couldn't get past the price! I found 2 lines of good looking shoes that come in many different styles that offer support and comfort (found them at Designer Shoe Warehouse) and have a more reasonable price tag: Anne Klein Flex and Liz Claiborne Flex. I work in retail 2 to 3 days a week and even being on my feet all day, these shoes still don't make my feet hurt.

HTH,

Becky

Thanks Delfin and Becky!

Delfin, I've been wearing Mephisto's for years. I got my first pair of Mephisto walking shoes about 10 years ago for a trip to Germany and have had several pairs since. I love the sandals and wore them all summer.

Becky, I've never tried Anne Klein or Liz Flex but maybe I should. I know, the Taryn Rose price tag is enough to make your eyes bug out, but I'm so desperate to find comfortable AND fashionable shoes that I'm willing to pay big time--lol! I have several "functions" to attend and I need a nice pair of dress shoes. What I have now make my feet scream. I need a good, cushioned foot bed and that's hard to find in a dress shoe. :-(

Thanks again for your input. I really appreciate it.

Yeah, they're great, but even I wouldn't spend that kind of money on shoes.

There's a great brand of shoes on Zappos called Fitzwell--they're really cute & very comfortable. I've bought 5 pairs over the last year.
