Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Crave

I never knew boots could be this comfortable! I bought the gray, but I didn't like the brown laces because I thought they made the boots look too brown, and I wanted them to look neutral. I bought black laces instead, and now I really love the mix of colors and they go with absolutely everything. Even though these boots are more expensive than I was planning to spend, the comfort is totally worth it. I can walk in them all day, and I love the heel height - slightly higher than other boots in this style - so they are a little more fashionable. I've been wearing them almost every single day since I got them. LOVE!!!

I LOVE the look and feel of these boots. I should have listened to others who reported the boot runs a tad small. I usually wear about an 8 1/2 and have other Taos shoes that are 39's. I ordered a second pair of these boots in a size 40. They are a little roomy but feel good, especially with my bunion. I LOVE the arch support of Taos in general.

I absolutely LOVE these boots! Wore them all day today, right out of the box, and they’re perfect. My feet are on the wide side, but this is my second pair of these, and the first pair was fine, as are these. I think I have to get another pair in another color. Best boots I’ve ever had! And my sister is jealous, total win.

These are the best boots ever!

Beautiful boots. I should've listened to Zappos which suggested a size 40 although I'm usually a 39 in Merrells and an 8.5 to 9 shoe size.. my Oboz hiking boots are 39.5 size and I recall being torn in the REI store where I got them - but the salesperson advised to stick with the 39.5 which felt roomy, but am so glad I did that. So, now that I've tried these in a size 39 and 40, I'm waiting for the bordeaux in 40. They're not super narrow, but the 39 is a bit snug, and I like a wider toe box. If planning to wear these, say, into the city, for an entire day, I'm sure once walking around they'll be too tight. Yes, leather stretches, but your feet swell if you're walking all day. I've been thru this before with boots - and I've learned to go with roomy vs. snug. FYI, the 'blue ink' looks quite black in indoor lighting - the suede/fabric top accent looks dark blue, but the boots sure look black. The bordeaux look brown/purple and I'll hold out for those. The boots feel great - with my history of plantar fasciitis long ago, I always look for a solid sole and good arch. BTW, roomy means I could put a plantar footbed/orthotic in and they'll still feel great. Wrote all this b/c there is so much debate about the sizing of this boot! Enjoy. I'd love bunch of colors but $$.

These shoes look great, fit true to size and are very comfortable. I do a lot of waking and wanted something that looked good but didn't make my feet hurt at the end of the day and these are just perfect.

I love these boots. From the first day they arrived I put them on and they fit like a glove! I was uncertain able the heel since it is a little higher but no problems at all! I love the color Too Red! I already am considering another pair!!! On the size I am a 6-6 1/2 So 37 is perfect! I wanted to keep them for wearing as a good shoe, but as a potter I work in a studio with clay all day and today I forgo to change them! Well..I love them!

Love these boots!! BUT they run REALLY small for me - I'm a true 10 and the 42 (supposedly an 11-11.5) were just about right although my big toe is a bit cramped so I might get them stretched as someone else here did (thank you!)I have a narrow foot but need a wider toe box. I ordered these and a Timberland style that was $40 cheaper - the Taos were SO much more comfortable and I could just feel how much better made & padded the Taos was. I have a Morton's neuroma so i can only wear well-padded shoes - aka "Comfort shoes" :( - so even though I was hesitant to spend this much, it was well-worth the $$. And I love the color - the teal is so interesting & goes with everything. I'm thinking burgundy next year for my 55th birthday!

I had to go up a size, but these boots are THE BEST! Absolutely love them!

These are such great boots! I wear a 9 or 9-1/2 but ordered a 42 based on reviews about the size of the boot and IT FITS GREAT. Plenty of room for winter socks. The arch support it perfect. My heal pain does not get aggravated in the shoes all day with no break-in. I got the bordeaux color and it is purple-ish. Next I want teal. Then oiled black, then stone, then . . . ALL THE COLORS!!

Hello. I'm typically a size 7 US shoe and so I ordered the EU 38 in these boots. Initially I was wondering if they were a little short in length and so I also ordered a EU 39 to compare. I found the 38 was a better fit. I can wear a mid-weight sock with these and they are perfect. I wanted a boot I could knock around in and distress and these will do the trick and last a long time, too. Very happy! I bought the Teal color, and they are a bit more green than I expected, but that's fine. I love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have wanted these boots since last winter! I usually wear a size 9.5, so I ordered the 41 - the fit is excellent with a medium weight wool sock. When I first put them on I thought, oh no, they're so hard and inflexible, won't be comfortable. Wore them around the house for 20 min and was hooked. I have wonky ankles and these keep them straight and aligned - and my toes have plenty of room. I run a flower shop and the sturdy sole just feels so safe and secure on wet and uneven floors. The arch support feels just right - these boots feel like they will last a long while. I feel like I could kick a** in these! Bought the teal color and just love it. If you're on the fence with these just go for it, you won't be sorry.

These are cute boots made beautifully, and so comfortable! I was planning a week-long trip to Big Bend Natl Park and knew we would be doing a lot of walking, so ordered three pair of boots with low heels and good reviews from Zappos (Taos, Josef Siebel, and Naot) for comparison. Just one trip around the living room and these were the winner -- they have a wonderfully comfortable foot bed, a nice wide toe box, feel good with both thin and thicker socks, the zipper works well enough to go through TSA easily (it really did!), and the tread/traction is good enough for light hiking/long distance walking. I wore them for a whole week on all sorts of surfaces and they were SO comfortable. Two strangers asked about my boots on the trip (a real compliment, coming from boot-conscious Texans :0) Love these boots! And, thank you Zappos for letting me try options before choosing! For reference, my feet are narrow at the heel, wider at the toe, and I usually wear a size 7 or 7 1/2 -- these ran true to size.

Love the boots! This is my second pair. I have them in gray and bordeaux. The bordeaux is a rich dark purpl I should burgundy color. The gray is grayish brown. Love that you can lace them once and use zipper to put on after that. After trying and returning several military style boots, these are the only ones I recommend.

I have a pair of Taos sandals and sneakers, and decided to try these because they looked cute in photos. I am always an 8.5 in other shoes, but the 39 in these boots were really narrow and too tight in the heal. I returned the 39 and ordered a 40 which just arrived. With thicker socks they are perfect. I looked at the sizing on my other Taos shoes and noticed that my sandals are 39 and the sneakers are 40. So it appears going forward I need to go up one size when buying Taos closed in shoes. I think these boots will be my new favorite fall shoes!

The most perfect boots, bought in black last year and another color this year. I wish there were an unlined version so I could wear through more than cold weather. No joke about the size advice - order larger than you wear.

I recently discovered Taos and am in love! I have “bad” feet, high arches, high instep, narrow heels, and a bunion on one foot which all make it difficult to find comfortable shoes. These boots feel so comfortable that the first day I wore them I didn’t want to take them off at the end of the day! I chose Bordeaux and the color looks brown in some lighting. The laces are brown and I may swap them out for a different color. You can adjust the fit by tightening the laces but they are easy on and off with the zipper. Overall a quality, comfortable boot with great arch support.

These really are great boots. I'm a size 9, ordered the 40, and they fit well, although because my feet are a little wide/cranky, a thin sock is all I can wear in them right now. I think the insole will mold to my foot, though, making them even more roomy and comfy as they age. I walk about a mile to work, and more on my lunch break, and these are good, although a bit heavy for extended wandering. Stood on concrete in them for a couple of hours last weekend, then walked my usual mile home, and my feet were comfortable the whole time. As far as color, Stone is a very pretty neutral brownish-grey, and Blue Ink is a gorgeous deep navy, and more blue than I would have expected from the pictures. Just buy them; you'll fall in love with them, too. I'm going back for red next time. :)

Only gave 4 stars on comfort because I have only worn them around the house, not extended hours. These boots are very high quality. I was a bit hesitant because of the price but very glad I went for it! The teal color is great, so much more exciting than the old black and brown options! Love this boot and the Grandkids will think I am cool! Bonus.

Loved this shoe! Very comfortable and really cute. Got the teal even though I was a little worried as some were saying it's green - I see more blue - absolutely love the color!

Beautiful. So comfortable. Great support. I could walk miles in them and look stylish doing it. I didn't want to like these, they cost more than I wanted to spend. But, they are worth every penny.

Super cute boots and well made. My high arch had a little trouble getting into the boot.

Love these boots! Fit true to size. Extremely comfortable. The side zipper is a big plus. I have these in three different colors. They're my "go to" boots from October to March!

I have never owned a pair of Taos boots until now. I like the lace-up style, moderate heel and color selection so I decided to give them a try. I am more than pleasantly surprised! They are so comfortable! There is no break in period at all and they look great. I have a feeling I will be tempted to get other colors down the road.
