About Taryn Rose International

In 1998 the footwear industry changed forever with the arrival of Taryn Rose® International, a line of luxury shoes as fashionable as they are functional. The brand struck a chord with women desiring to be well dressed while having a sense of well being and very quickly established a dedicated following. Artisans in Italy make Taryn Rose® shoes the old fashion way, by hand. Each shoe is built on an asymmetrical form, allowing for full arch support, decreasing fatigue and giving stability to your ankles. Taryn Rose® builds in a generous cushion of Poron, which offers shock absorption.
