Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Crave

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.

Love these boots. They are so comfortable right out of the box. I was worried that they might be too heavy but the weight is balanced perfectly. I want to thank ZAPPOS for their wonderful customer service. They care about their customers and go all out to make sure everyone is happy.

These are amazing! Comfortable straight out of the box with no break in period. I have a wider foot and was a little worried these would be too narrow but, nope....perfect fit. No need to wear with a thicker sock unless you're sizing up. I typically take a size 8/8.5 and I got the 39. The black looks sharp but it is not distressed as some of the others are. The stacked heel really sets these off and gives them an edgy sort of look. Easy on and off with the side zipper. Although a little pricey, the quality is excellent and they'll never go out of style...these are boots that you'll have forever. Put them in your will because people will be fighting over these when you die :)

Didn't buy these through Zappos *got them at my local Danform store* but have to say how amazing these boots are, even though a bit expensive. Will buy my 2nd pair here at Zappos. Agree with others who say better than Frye's, which I always wanted, but no style was every really comfortable for me. Also always wanted a combat-motorcycle type boot and THIS IS IT. I wear 8 1/2 and these are true to size. I have a wide'ish foot, but no issues with this boot. Out of the box I wore them all day. Absolutely comfortable. Bordeaux color is gorgeous! LOVE LOVE LOVE. Husband said, "you finally found your boots, huh?" Why yes, yes I did!!! GET THEM!!! :)

Holy macaroni, all of the positive reviews are correct! These are amazing, high quality, beautiful boots that are both comfortable and stylish. The laces are fashionable but the side zipper makes them super easy and functional. I live in a colder climate and definitely think that these will hold up to the winter with the thicker sole and lining!

These are the second pair of Crave Taos boots I've purchased from Zappos. They are extremely comfortable and give excellent support. I wear sandals all summer, but can't wait for cooler weather so I can get back into my boots! I'm retired, wear jeans a lot, and the boots are perfect for my lifestyle. I highly recommend them!

The first pair to arrive had an irregularity to the coloring on the toe of one of the boots. I called Zappos, and easily was able to send the boots back and had another pair arrive in two days. This second pair looked. great. I wore them all day at work as a teacher. These are definitely comfortable. I did not have the urge to kick them off once home, as I tend to do with my shoes. I am a die hard Dansko wearer, but decided to branch out a bit, and I'm glad I did. These boots have a pretty "flat" feel, even though they have a small heel. The leather is very soft and felt broken in right away.

Love these boots! Got them in teal to wear with skirts and jeans. Fit a little small for wide feet. Go a size up

SUCH A LOVELY BLACK BOOT. IF THE RIGHT ONE HAD FIT LIKE THE LEFT ONE, I WOULD HAVE KEPT THEM. THE RIGHT BOOT DID NOT SEEM TO BE THE SAME WIDTH ACROSS THE TOES AS DID THE LEFT ONE. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM I NORMALLY HAVE SO I'LL JUST TAKE THAT OUT OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT IS MY FOOT. GREAT STYLE AND LEATHER! I AM STILL LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PAIR FOR ME!!

This is a great looking boot! And, it is quite comfortable as I wore them all day on a tour excursion. However, I ordered the "grey" color, and they are definitely not grey. They are a nice brown color, which I like so I am going to keep them!

Really cute and comfy boot! I stand on my feet at work behind the chair in a salon for long hours several days a week. Comfort and support are two things that are really important to me when it comes to purchasing shoes for work. These boots are great! I wear a size 6 to 6.5 and ordered size 37.
