Need to have no calf muscles for these. By jrebeccat from Monroe, CT on 11/08/2008 Cons: Arch support - wrong area, Narrow calf area Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented, Stylish Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These boots are made for narrower people than I. I was unable to zip the boots all the way up because they did not taper out enough for my legs.

Seem comfortable and well-balanced By E from Fog City, CA on 09/09/2008 Best Uses: Casual Wear, Office, Travel Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have heard that Taryn by Taryn Rose shoes run a little small. I usually wear a 10.5 and these boots fit in a 10 with midweight socks. Good width, no narrow pinches. You may want to test several sizes. I have not tried running for a bus in them, but the heels are solid enough, and it will not rain until October or November, so no idea about how weatherproof they may be. Interior of boots is smooth, seamless, no chafe spots. Soles are smooth leather and an anti-skid panel (like Catspaw, but not Catspaw) has been applied over *part* of the sole, under the ball of the foot.
The shaft (ankle and up) is generously sized and is scaled with size, meaning that a smaller shoe size will have a narrower shaft and larger shoe a wider shaft. Good height for trouser wear. The heel is not a narrow or small heel, and is teardrop-shaped for stability, but is not wide enough to be ideal for walking long distances. The angle between the heel and the sole's ground-contact area is comfortable, not overly steep, and the boot does not narrow there. My arches do not feel particularly well supported despite the maker's reputation for supportive shoes.
The grommet-and-leather detailing on the side is not overtly Victorian/Edwardian, but is identical to the detailing on some "dressy" snow boots my mother bought in the '70s, which I took to Goodwill last week...
