Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Crave

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.

After reading several reviews, I opted to order size 40M. I wear an 8.5 normally. The boots feel a tad too big for me, but they are extremely comfortable. I am planning on wearing them while traveling in Europe, nice sole, they are very easy to take off because of the zip, so I will probably wear them while flying for less weight/bulk in my luggage. They look nice with jeans, and long skirts. The color, Blue Ink, is very nice.

Wow, these are beautiful boots! I have been searching for the perfect pair of boots for longer than I'd care to admit and have purchased and returned many other styles/brands (thank you, Zappos!) Finally found Taos and I am in love with them. As others said you can tell as soon as you take them out of the box that they are higher quality. Some of the other boots I tried on in the $100-$200 range felt flimsy or cheap (especially Sorel's). I have a hard time finding any shoe or boot that fits because I have a slender foot but require a lot of room at the toe box due to previous foot surgeries. While these boots did fit me well I have to say they are a touch on the narrow side for my feet and my toes are a little scrunched but I am hoping they will give some once they are broken in. I am normally a 7.5-8 but bought these in 39 due to others saying they run a little small. I am glad I sized up because I can wear them comfortably with thick socks and I don't think my foot would have been comfortable in a 38. The bordeaux color is a gorgeous dark brown with deep red undertones. My only two complaints would be the toe box size and that they are not waterproof but overall these are fabulous.

This is my second pair in a different color (Bordeaux) and these are my favorite boots ever. They are so comfortable I wore them almost exclusively last winter. Both pairs have been comfortable from the onset. The style is great - they look good with skirts as well as pants tucked or untucked. Just check out all the reviews, everyone loves them. I usually wear a size 7 (sometimes a 7 1/2), and the 38 is perfect. Only issue I might have is that some of the colors have been unavailable. May be a good thing or I might own several more pairs.

I LOVE his boot and bought another pair in a different color! Great quality, very comfortable and so stylish!!!

These boots are absolutely gorgeous;however, theyare too heavy for me to walk around in so I must return them.

How many pair of Taos Crave boots is too many? I wear them with dresses, leggings, jeans. I wear them walking in the airport, to business meetings, out with friends...they look great, they feel great. I am buying my 4th pair RIGHT NOW.

So between the time i clicked 'purchase' and the time these arrived - I broke a toe. (Thanks Zappos for your great service! You allowed me to fine a shoe which I could wear and dance in for daughter's wedding. But, I digress....). The past several weeks I have been wearing these almost everyday, all day. LOVE THEM. I was looking for a comfortable, stylish and versatile piece of footwear. I needed something for travel. Something which wouldn't scream "American Tourist' from the minute I stepped off an airplane. But most importantly I needed something which I could walk in - over cobble stones, damp grass, city sidewalks and more. While I haven't yet taken them onto cobblestones, I know they will be great. These things are comfortable. They have great arch support (I use arch wedge and there is plenty of room for the additional support). They are adjustable via the laces but the side zipper means you only have to adjust every so often. I've worn them with jeans and leggings. They are on the heavy side but it still works so well. I plan to take these on an upcoming adventure thru Europe. I can wear them to walk all day and they with a bit of a spit shine - can wear them to dinner. Will surely order more.

I was looking at all of the lace-up boots with a "military boot" type of style but still cute and more feminine. I had almost given up when Lo! the Taos Crave appeared just right with the right amount of heel (not too high or low) and oh my, in red and other fun colors. I wanted red but it was out of stock so I decided to get the teal until red was back in stock to determine the sizing, fit and comfort. Turns out I really liked the teal color, the fit, the style, and comfort and then the red came back and I ordered it with intentions of returning the teal. But, I loved them both so much I talked myself into keeping them both. A bit pricey but nothing else I have found can hold a candle to these to these fun, pretty and very cool boots. The leather is supple, the colors great (the teal is a bit darker than the picture but still wonderful); I love the buckle, and they have a side zipper which is very convenient. I wear an 8.5 so ordered a 39 euro. As above, they fit very well. I love them.

These boots are perfect in every way! No regrets here!

I love these boots. I love the color (teal, great with jeans or even dressy!), love the fit, love that they are “edgey” (is that a good word?). I would even wear these to work with longish trousers. I’m a health professional, and, yes, wiuld wear them to work. So comfortable!!

Beautiful boots. Too small and tight for me unfortunately.

As one reviewer said, "DO NOT PUT THESE IN YOUR CART!" And it was meant in the best possible way. She was telling the truth. These little gems are fabulous! I initially started with a size 37 (I'm a 6.5 to 7). They were just a wee bit tight, so I returned them for a 38 for added room and thicker socks. Perfection. I was trying to find a bootie for upcoming trips to Europe in the Fall and next Spring that would be versatile enough to wear with both jeans, leggings and dresses, without looking frumpy along with providing the comfort needed for extensive walking. Boy did, I find them. Now I want every color! I purchased the red and they are scrumptious. Very comfy and oh-so-purrty! For those that need orthotics, the footbed liner is removable so they should work (I don't wear orthotics so cannot confirm this fact entirely). These aren't waterproof so I've sprayed them a couple of times with Frye Waterproof Spray for added protection. The biggest problem I've found with these booties? Deciding which color to get next! :-)

Love this boot, in look and fit. And I'm pretty picky on both counts.

Best pair of boots I’ve ever owned

Fabulous boots. I've worn Danskos exclusively for several years because I have high arches. I was hesitant to try another brand, but my feet have had no issues at all with these. The arches are a little lower than with Danskos, but it hasn't been a problem. The footbed is very cushiony. These boots are extremely well-made. They feel rock-solid, like they will last forever. And the leather and the design are just beautiful. Really happy with them.

I just ordered my second pair! I wish I could wear these boots everyday, they are so comfortable and chic! There was no break-in period, the teal color is glorious and EVERYONE loves them. The zipper is it's greatest feature, in and out in a flash, no laces to fuss with. I wear them in the City and in the Country. They go anywhere!

I ordered 40 after trying on a friend’s 40 and her 40 felt perfect. I wear a 9 or 9 1/2, she wears an 8. Obviously her pair had stretched out. She said hers were super comfy. I felt that also. Tricky sizing here. One heel slips on mine. I have been trying different thicknesses of socks. I wore them outside so I cannot return them. Even if I did based on the 40 I tried on (my friend’s favorite most comfy boot ever) would still be the right “size” for me. I think since my heel in slipping in 40 and they’re not stretched out yet, the size up would never work. And the size down would be really too small. That’s my two cents. FWIW.

I’ll admit that I can’t figure out color these are. These have been go to boots in cold weather and they have rocked with jeans to slacks.

Great boot, very comfy. Expected a blue/teal color but to me its very green/ olive...not my color.

These are the best boots I’ve ever owned. They are stylish, support my ankles, are easy on and off, my orthotics fit in them. I get compliments all the time.
