User Reviews
Very comfortable, flattering to the foot, even with bunions on both feet. I typically wear a size 7, purchased this shoe in size 7 and the fit is perfect. I actually have two pairs - after being so pleased with the fit and comfort of the navy ara pump, I ordered the black. Highly recommend the ara Women's Kelly Dress Pump.
Not what I ordered. Size was too large and the faux leather was supposed to have been suede.
Sizing is not standard. Good product though.
I purchased this shoe last year from a local shoe store. It was so comfortable, I wanted to purchase another pair but the store no longer stocked it. I found it on Amazon for less than I paid for my original pair. Style plus comfort makes this a shoe a winner!
Love these shoes. I am no longer wearing the 3" and 4" heels very often. I have found these Ara Kelly's to be a perfect work shoe and still stylish. So recommend this shoe. Seller delivered quickly and at a good price. Highly recommend product and seller.
Bought these April 1 and by June 12 you can see its condition on the photos.I’m flight crew and I have been wearing these just frommy house to the plane, remove them on the plane to wear flat shoes, and when I land I put them on to go to the hotel. Minimal wear. They are soft but too soft to hold your foot in place and very little support.These shoes are made to last very little.
Excellent product and a reasonable price.
I like the shoes. It’s soft and comfortable, but the size runs very big. I’ve worn 51/2 all my adult life, but these were way too big. I exchanged it for a 5, but that still is a little big.
