Have you tried Zara's shoes?

Would love to know if they are TTS, of any decent quality, if they only last a season. They seem to have so many cute runway inspired styles at affordable prices. Thanks!

I haven't, but Angie's (and Suz's) fab navy booties are from there, I think.

Hit and miss. This season I bought two pairs of booties from Zara that outshone all the high-end styles I was considering buying - both in styling and comfort. Leave no retail stone unturned. A white pair and an ink pair. Both are workhorses.

I am impressed with Zara footwear this season that I have a few more styles on the way. I have found the sizes quite consistent.

I have the ink booties that Angie (and Shevia, and Inge, too, I think?) also have. They were one of my best fall purchases. I found them quite stiff at first and they gave me blisters because my heel moves quite a bit -- but this is not unusual for me; I have a narrow heel. A few wears broke them in and now they are very comfortable.

I was never able to buy Zara footwear in past seasons because the fit did not work for me. So...you just never know. Worth a try. I agree with Angie that the sizing is pretty consistent...my 6.5 seem like a 37 EU which is usually my best size.

I have only made one purchase of Zara footwear, a pair of ballet flats about 3 years ago. They were work horses and I was sad to see them go when I wore them out.

I've never been able to get them to work for me. Admittedly I only look when I'm traveling in a city that has a Zara. I've haven't been in a Zara for over a year.

Zara has improved a lot, the shoes and booties have excellent quality, very soft. Just avoid the ones that cost 30€ or less.

I've never been able to wear Zara footwear - up until this season. In the past, they have been extremely stiff, very little support - and basically just uncomfortable for my feet. This season however, there have been several pairs that I've found satisfactory - not the most comfortable shoes I own - but "good enough."

All I'm really looking for is "good enough" sometimes, so this helps!

No Zara in my town so I have never tried them, but some of their styles look so fab!

I have some burgundy booties -- I really like them. They aren't the most comfortable shoes I own but I haven't worn them much yet. They seem to be well made and a nice leather.

I too have the ink booties that others have mentioned and I've found them to be nice quality and quite comfortable.

Suz is right, I also have the ink booties and also a pair of flat pointy toe blue summer shoes. I have noticed the sizes are very consistent actually - Zara 37 is a generous 6.5 and has fit me consistently whenever I have tried their shoes on.

I am totally in love with their shoes!! But I have always only bought flats from there so I wouldn't know about heels. I am planning on a pair of boots for winter from there, because I love all their styles and they seem to be the only place that stock mid heels? Rest are either flat or sky high in the retail stores here! And the best part of zara ...... affordable!!!

I haven't bought any, but I've at least tried a lot on in stores. Their leather shoes seem like reasonable quality and their 37 fits me quite well (I'm a US 6.5) when I try them on.

I have these burgundy booties on my wishlist (I wonder if they're the same as yours, Ceit? Or are yours the flat ones from this season?).

Mine are the flat burgundy ones with the two buckles.

I have always been too worried about comfort to try, especially because they aren't especially inexpensive, but have been tempted every time I see them. This season's lineup is just amazing. The positive stories on YLF are increasing my willingness to try, though.

I too have the navy booties. I bought them 1/2 a size up so my toes won't pinch. But I have arthritis in my toes so am extra sensitive. But they are very comfy and good quality as the others have said.
