Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Crave

These boots are among my all time favorites. They are amazingly comfortable, great looking, and reasonably priced. I love these boots. Seriously, awesome in every way.

I wear a 8.5 in most brands but can comfortably wear a 9 so I ordered a 39 in this boot and as soon as I opened the box I feel in love. However when I tried them on they were too small. I knew I couldn't wear them comfortably even if they relaxed/stretched over time so I had to send them back. I am now stalking the site for a size 40 because I loved them that much. Fingers crossed for me please!

I bought this pair of boots and was in love with them when they arrived - loved the color, the fit, the way they look with both pants and dresses. BUT they've turned out to be a disaster. Two months into wearing them, they have holes in the toes and on the side of my foot so bad that I had to throw them out. I do a fair amount of physical work - I'm a sculptor, so I do have to crawl around in the studio, lift objects, etc - but no amount of everyday wear should destroy a $200 pair of boots this quickly. I thought I would at least be saved by the warranty, which was a big part of the reason I went with this brand, but the company says the warranty doesn't cover "excessive use" -- somehow two months of daily wear counts as excessive to them. So disappointed!! I bought a $15 pair of boots at a neighborhood shop right after these died, and have been wearing them for two months - and not a single hole in sight.

love the boot and thought the color would have more black with a some teal highlight, so I'm exchanging for black.

These boots were suggested to me by my best friend who lives in NYC and walks more than Forest Gump. They are gorgeous and the most comfortable boots I have ever owned right out of the box. I wear a 7, so I got the 37. I am a hairdresser and stand 8-10 hrs a day so I like something with an arch support. These have a removable insert with arch support and when I want them larger, to accommodate heavy socks, I can remove the insert and use my superfeet removable orthotics, which only extend halfway and make the boots feel at least 1/2 size larger. I adjusted them with the laces to fit my thin ankles then use the zipper for on and off. They seriously feel like they were made for my feet and they look great with everything. Again, these are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned, but even if they weren't, I probably would have still kept them because they are THAT CUTE.

These are beautiful looking boots, they seem well made, and the inside felt very warm. They're a little chunkier than I expected, although they'd be lovely for winter with a pair of jeans. My issue with them was the arch support, it was prominent towards the back of my arch, but didn't continue along the length. For the price, I wasn't willing to see if the support improved with wear. I was excited to get these, but unfortunately they're going back.

OMG these boots are spectacular! Stunningly beautiful, comfortable, well made... I absolutely love them.

I love... love these shoes. The style is great, the construction is well made and they are not made in China... yes! (I can't remember but I think they are made in Spain or Portugal.) When I first tried them on I though they were very narrow. So I unloosened the laces all the way down to the bottom, and did not lace them back up until my feet where inside the shoes. Once I did that the width felt much more comfortable. I don't have a wide foot at all but sometimes dress shoes like these tend to be a bit tight, but these, once I laced them to my feet, felt comfortable. I've only worn them a couple of times but I have a feeling they will simply mold to my feet given time. Expensive but well made and I think they will last. They remind me a little of El Naturalista... I have one pair of boots from them and I've had them 3 years. X-fingers these will be the same, but I have a feeling they will because the construction of them is a bit better then El Naturalista. (I wear an 8.5 and bought a size 40.)

Boot solidly made. I wanted the camel color as pictured, but what arrived was decidedly brown. Returned as the color pictured apparently doesn't exist.

I wear these ALL THE TIME - love them and gravitate towards them often. Very comfortable, still stiff but thinking they still need to be broken in more. Wanting to buy in more colors for sure.

Beautiful boot for the money. The teal is a very rich, dark, blue-green that blends well with all my black & navy pants. The slipping at the heel is minimal. I'm truly in between sizes as a 6 1/2 to 7M, and didn't know which size to order, so I ordered both 37 and 38. Since my issue is normally toe room, I found the 38 to be the winners. (The Bordeaux in the 37 are a gorgeous color too. Don't hesitate if they are still available in your size.)

These boots surpassed my expectations. It was a hard sell for me to pay more than 100$ for boots, but I am so thankful I did. I haven't been this excited about something I've bought in such a long time. The leather bends beautifully as you walk. The boot never feels stiff. The details at the top of the boot (suede I think) make the boot that much more comfortable. I will have no trouble walking and wearing these boots day after day. Thank you Taos for creating the perfect boots for fall!

Just love the color. I didn't feel they are as comfortable as they said in the reviews I read. I couldn't use them to walk long distances on unsteady terrain. They look awesome LOVE them. ??

These boots were comfortable from the minute I put them on. I am in love with them. I was worried that the toe box might be too narrow, as many boots tend to be for my foot. But, my feet are very comfy in the entire boot. They are beautiful, well made, with so many color options, I want them ALL! The price is better than some others I tried and very cool. I'm ordering another pair, once I can settle on the color I want. I think these boots are perfect.

I LOVE LOVE my first pair of the Crave. From the moment of received them, in love. The most comfortable shoe I've owned in my long life. However, this year I purchased the new blue color (not the teal). They are not the same. Very stiff, not as soft and run slightly smaller. I must return them, I won't fit in the larger size either, as I mentioned they're *slightly* smaller. They don't feel like they're going to give. I hate to say this, but IMO they appear cheaper. So disappointed!

do not buy these wonderful boots in a size 10. Leave them all for me to buy! True to size and wild and funky, but appropriate for what life has to offer.

I have to wear a heel for my extensor tendinitis, and these boots are perfect for that. They're super comfortable and have plenty of room for my toes. They also look very nice so I can wear them to work, but also have a good tread so I can wear them in snow. I love them!

I normally wear size 8 1/2 - 9 but my feet are wide, so I ordered the next size up, size 41, since I wanted to wear warm socks with these boots. They fit beautifully! They are completely comfortable. And the Teal color looks exactly as pictured online.

Ordered these boots in Camel in size 36. First shipment arrived size 38 in what I thought was the wrong color. Second was correct size in what I again thought was the wrong color. This Camel color is truly BROWN, not what I would call camel and nothing like the photos. Sent them both back.

Such a great purchase! Was looking for something sturdy and comfortable for a trip to Paris this fall and these are going to be perfect. I'm wearing them around the house - very comfy, great arch support and no break in period. The color is fantastic - a rich oxblood. Fit is true to size, I ordered a 37 and wear a 7 typically in a boot. May have to buy an additional color I love so much.

Love these boots! They were my 40th birthday gift from my husband and son and I'm in love with the style and comfort! I might just get another pair! Super classy and easy to dress up or down!

LOVE these boots & always get compliments. Comfy right out of the box. Just trooped around Alaska for several hours with no issues and with warm feet. ?? Bought the blue & hope to snag another color soon.

I tend to be VERY wordy in my reviews LOL. However, I love these shoes soooooooo much that I'll just say this: buy them. You won't be sorry. Read all the other positive reviews and trust them. These are GREAT boots. I bought both the violet and the Bordeaux because they both looked to be the SAME color online. Not so in person. The actual SHOE part (the leather shoe) is the same color on both. The difference is in that very top part, the part around the ankle. THAT'S where the color difference comes in. The violet is much much brighter. It's a "violet" color LOL. The Bordeaux is much deeper. More burgundy. The color matches the burgundy color of the leather. I kept the Bordeaux and looooove them. I think I wore them for 3 weeks straight, EVERY day, after I first received them in the mail. Would love to get another color next year IF they are still around next year. Beautiful shoe! Believe all the 5-star reviews.

Wanted to keep these so bad and have them be my go-to boot. Love everything except the color. Can't get over the shade of brown. Just not feeling it in person. I'm a 7, I ordered 38 which worked just fine, with room for socks.

Wanted to keep these so bad and have them be my go-to boot. Love everything except the color. Definitely not grey in person. More like ash brown- grey segment at top but altogether looks warm brown. I'm a 7, I ordered 38 which worked just fine, with room for socks.
