Taryn Rose: Fashion and Comfort

taryn rose    

Orthopedic surgeon Taryn Rose spent years fixing the foot problems of women who endured countless long work days in painful 3-inch heels. For those that have not experienced the comfort of her shoes, you probably think that fashion and comfort are mutually exclusive.

Rose's shoes are made in Italy of top-quality materials, mostly by hand; each pair takes three hours. For cushioning, she uses Poron, a foam found in shock absorbers and NASA designs. She lines her shoes with Kid Leather which keeps the foot drier and cooler...so you can go barefoot in most of her styles.

Rose offers advice for optimizing your experience in any shoes:
   
  • Take advantage of flats, which are in fashion this spring. Ballerina flats look charming with a Chanel skirt or a pair of Capris on weekends.
  • Wear a heel that's two inches or lower for most of your day, and change into higher heels only when necessary.
  • The best time to try on shoes is late afternoon. Test them on a tile floor; shoes can be deceptively comfortable on carpeting.
  • You should never have to break in a shoe. The right shoe feels good the minute you put it on.
