Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Crave

I love these boots, and get lots of compliments on them. My goal is to eventually have them in every color, but that's a lot of birthdays and Christmases! My feet are comfortable all day, and not achey at the end of the day.

These are my second pair of the Taos Crave as they're my #1 favorite pair of shoes, which is hard to admit since I'm a Fluevog fanatic. But Taos Crave are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned, plus they're gorgeous. I've walked through many cities in Europe wearing them. That said, I didn't realize how much better they feel when you add arch support, like superfeet (a full one cut in half or just get the half one) even birkenstock arch support (haven't tried those yet but my chiropractor recommends them) - any extra arch support that's not rigid like plastic. I have the burgundy pair of the Taos Crave and just ordered another pair in blue ink. I recently had the heel of my burgundy pair re-soled after wearing them almost daily for three years and they still look fantastic! They do look better with regular polishing but I've only polished mine twice in three years. The Crave does need a day or two of breaking in, I'd forgotten that about my first pair. They arrive a bit stiff but they loosen up and mold to your feet in no time. I love them so much that I tried the tall pair too but they were far too stiff for me. I'm sure they too would eventually loosen up but I didn't like them enough to try and returned them for another short pair instead; which I love! I can't say enough good things about this adorable, comfortable, boot!

Great boot, comfortable right away. Was looking for something stylish yet durable that I can wear through the winter and this is it! Very cute on (which can be hard to say with a size 9.5-10 shoe!)! Haven't tested in Fall/Winter weather but love the way they look and feel.

The boot looked amazing but the only reason I returned it was because the toe section was a little narrow for me. It pushed my toes together and it would hurt to where them for multiple hours. I would maybe get a half size larger to compare.

I have these in 2 different colors. Will be ordering a 3rd as well, best boots I’ve ever owned. BUY THESE.

Love these! They are the most comfortable thing in my closet!

Too small (short). As it was the biggest size they carried, I can't even size up. When will shoemakers realize there are lots of tall women with longer feet? Otherwise, felt like they would have been very comfortable to walk in even with the heel, and warm.

I have these in 4 colors!!! Taos has been making the Crave boot for several years now, and I’ve been wearing them as long. Come fall, they’re my go-tos. Then through our entire New England winters, snow, ice, salt, and all. Work and play. The design, materials, and workmanship are impeccable. They are SO comfortable, almost therapeutic, for my weary feet. They’ve seen me through hallis rigidus, and the fix. They never needed any break-in time, and aren’t high-heeled enough to hurt my back after a day. I wear them with everything — wide-wale cords with the cuffs turned up to show them, wool dresses with ribbed tights, and snug jeans. They make my feet look tiny because of the design. I almost never have to rework or tighten the laces — do It once and you’re good. And the compliments keep coming. Nearly every time I go out. About the colors — and this is subjective … the non-black or super dark colors really showcase the boot’s beautiful design detail. The green is not a loden or sage green, it’s more a brown with a barely green tint. The navy-teal draws double-takes because at a glance, it’s navy, but wait — it’s much more. The British tan color looks out of this world with a long gold or camel Irish tunic and skinny dark jeans or white cords!

I liked them at first. BUT I only wear them when I ride my Can Am Spyder. I have worn them MAYBE thirty times total just on the bike. I have never worn them other then when I am riding and we don't travel other then an hour or two from our house. The heel has become unseparated from the sole... I would understand if I did a lot of walking and wore them a lot. I only have 1500 miles on my new trike we bought last July 2020. ;( So, for this price, I have to give them a thumbs down on boots that will last a long time. They are kept in an unlit closet 99% of the time so it is not due to heat fluctuations since they are not stored with my trike. ;(

Runs super small! Order at least one size up

These boots are a favorite, They are multifunctional meaning good for work or play. I get compliments all the time, a lot of compliments about "how cool those boots are" I usually wear Fry, so this was risky for me to purchase, but I love them! The color is stunning.

I tried a couple of sizes, because I wasn't quite sure whether I needed the 38 or 39. Neither seemed quite right, which has always been my experience with this sizing method. I wanted to love these boots, because they seem to be high quality, but they are just miserable to wear. I wore them around my house (which has a lot of stairs), and OUCH! The leather that goes behind your heel has zero give, and is painful (I tried 4 different pairs, they all were like this). There is a chance that with time they would break in and soften up, but @ $200 a pair, I couldn't afford to take that risk. Sorry. Also, they don't come in wide, and if you have teeny ankles and calves like I do, you can't lace them tightly enough. Especially if you have a high instep and arches. I usually overcome the high instep problem with a wide width, but it's not offered here.

I love these boots! I wore them all day the very first day, no problems. I want to live in them!

I love these boots! I wish I had gotten a half size bigger. I can’t wear thick socks or my toes would be squished. Overall very comfortable and stylish.

Great quality, comfy and warm, look great! Love them!!!

I love Taos boots. tried their shoes..but not good for my feet. even ordered a wide once but they still make them for narrow footed people. ..BUT the boots i can swing! i own 5 ...wish tho, Taos would really make a bit more wide shoes...and boots.

My favorite boots. Super stylish and very comfortable! I strongly recommend!

Should be an 11. Please make a 12 a12!

I love the look of this boot--I've been looking for something with this styling, especially the patent red for awhile--but I can't love the fit. It just feels odd to me in terms of the volume of the boot and like no matter how much I wear them around the house to break them in, like the heel cup will & general fit will always be off. I'm disappointed, they have so many colors and even the tall version that all would have been smashing as motorcycle boots. :(

Color is more hunter green. Very dark so goes with anything. Wore all day straight from the box and I have finicky feet! If you are on the fence buy them exceptional quality and comfort. Just beautiful

When I purchased these boots I could not believe how comfortable they were. Loved them. Cute and comfortable. But...they fell apart. Which kind of shocks me. The toe bed detached from the sole. Which means they are made cheaply. I own La Cannadien boots - which cost a arm and a leg, but I have owned some of their boots for 5 years or more and the bottoms of the boots have never even so much as looked like they would separate. So these boots do fall apart if you start to wear them more than for an occasional day out. Just beware. Cheap is cheap.

I ordered several pairs of waterproof boots, looking for a comfortable, stylish boot that would work for casual walking in the rainy winter, spring, & fall seasons in the PNW. These were my favorite by looks but when I initially tried them on, I didn't think they would work. They felt a bit snug with my Smart Wool socks (which I prefer to wear every day) and I could feel my heel lifting a bit while walking. BUT I took out the Taos insole and switched it for my green Super Feet insoles that I normally reserve for my hiking boots and then played around with relacing the laces to keep my heel down. I'm thrilled to say that combo did the trick! They fit perfectly now and I've worn them on long walks around Seattle and our neighborhood consistently for a month with absolutely no blisters or discomfort. They've loosened up a bit overall, just like a good hiking boot does. Super pleased overall and glad I stuck with them.

I really like these boots. They are leather so they will take a bit of breaking in but I slapped a couple band-aids on the heels before the 1st wear as this ain't my first rodeo and no blister issues!

Love them! Love the brand, the fit and the comfort for a taller boot! I will own more pairs of these as time goes on. They are perfect.

I picked my shoe size based on Zappos' recommendation from my other brands of shoes. With the removable insole in, the shoe was extremely tight against the top of my foot. Loosening the laces didn't do anything to help because the tight part isn't attached to the tongue. Once I learned you could remove the insole, it fit perfectly. I'm fine with not wearing the insole since it wasn't that comfortable anyway. Super cute boots.
