Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Crave

Taos has changed their boot color. Crave / Stone in now much whiter than earlier. The color I have is a darker greenish/brown color. Very disappointed with color change. Zappos should change their reference picture to match the new color shown on the Taos web site ( I should have checked there first??)

I usually wear a 6 1/2 EE so sometimes I have to go to 7W, and I never know about the fit till I try on. Although I was excited about the look good I had pain on my left ankle, waited another day and tried on again pain would not subside. So sorry I have to return.

They’re cute but surprisingly not that comfortable. Leather was stiff and rubbed me wrong.

The color was radically different from what I expected. Even though it was described as stone, the image was much more of a brown, which was what I wanted. I've uploaded a side by side image to show the view from my app that I used to select the shoes and what I got. These shoes were definitely a light grey, almost white. They had some scuff marks on them, and I wasn't sure if that was by design or from previous trials of other customers. Even though I was pretty sure the color as a deal breaker I tried them on and was pleased to find them somewhat comfortable. They went a bit too high abve my ankle for my taste though so even though the color did grow on me as I looked at them, I decided to go with a different pair.

Gorgeous boot, but smaller than listed size

I have two other colors of the Crave but the gorgeous black cherry leather in this color was very stiff, and although I sized up it was very uncomfortable. They are stunning though…BTW I have narrow feet.

True to size. Returning because too clunky to be versatile.

I LOVE these boots. They are beautiful and well made. How I wish they fit. I'm a pretty reliable 42. The size 43 was about the same size as my foot. There was no way I could put my foot INTO it. Maybe they could make a size 46?

In most shoe brands, I wear a size 9 or size 40 (US Women's 9-9.5), and I chose size 40 (US Women's 9-9.5) in the black/black color. The size was perfect for my size 9 feet. My longest foot measures exactly 10 inches in length. The width was fine, too. I was able to try the boots on wearing a medium thickness wool sock and there was plenty of room and the boots felt good until I stood up and walked around the house. I soon discovered that the heel was too high for me -- I usually wear flat shoes & boots, sandals, and running shoes. The higher heel made my grumpy back very unhappy. Also, the placement of the arch support in the boots was not aligned well with the undersides of my feet and was uncomfortable...the arch supports in the insole just felt like lumps under my older feet and my feet kept trying to move back or forward to adjust to the lump and couldn't find a comfortable position. I wore the boots indoors for about two hours to make sure they would feel good, but unfortunately the test failed and I returned the beautiful black boots. I liked the refined combat boot laced-up style -- it was what I was looking for...but...I'll have to find a boot with a low heel...

Too tight on the foot yet two lose in the heel. I am a 9.5 and ordered the 9-9.5 then exchanged for the size up. Same issue persisted with it being too narrow.

Like the other reviews I read, this shoe is made small. I thought that perhaps a larger size might help. I was wrong. My closet has sizes from 9.5 -11. Unfortunately it usually depends on the shoe. I wear an 11 in an athletic shoe if I use my insert. If I want to wear a dressier shoe I usually can wear a 10 without my insert for a few hours. If it is opened toe I go to a 9.5. Very difficult to guess what to order for a new shoe. Zappos is a lifesaver with its return policy and shipping protocols.

These boots are gorgeous. Unfortunately, the size 12 is more like a size 11 - way too small. Alas. I loved them otherwise.

This is a beautiful boot. I also ordered another Taos boot but both pairs squeaked so I returned them.

I ordered a size 8-8.5. This size usually fits with other brands, but the boot was very short. Seemed to be well made, heavy leather. IF I order again I would order a whole size larger. Minimal arch support. Questionable if a orthotic would fit...darn, they were a very nice boot.

I purchased a 37 since I typically wear a US size 6, but I would have needed to go up another size to be able to wear thicker socks. Unfortunately these were so loose at the heel even with thick socks, I didn't size up. I have narrow feet, but do not usually have problems with loose heels. They felt fairly narrow everywhere else. They golden tan was very pretty, but looked darker than the pictures on the Taos website. More of a medium brown. They did not feel that comfortable walking around the house, but maybe have gotten better with wear.

Cute boot but had to return size felt a bit small

I really love these boots but have not been able to get the right fit. I have a pair of these boots in burgundy size 41 that are slightly too small. I ordered the 42 in grey and they are much smaller then the ones I had. So strange. I am going to order both in a 43 and hopefully these fit. I wear a 10.5 in most shoes.

I wanted to love these. I even ordered a size up so I could wear thick socks. The area around the heel is very stiff and curves in a lot so they rubbed a blister within an hour of putting them on with very little walking. I knew when I put them on that the fit was not good, but I was hoping....

The boot itself looks high end and looks constructed beautifully. However I walked around my house for about 15 minutes and could not feel my heels. They went completely numb. The arch in these is really odd. It seems to drop your heel lower than the ball of the foot.

I love the look. But they were really tight on my toes. And even with feeling tight, my heel pulled up. I had to return them.

Beautiful shoe but toe box is very narrow and even ordering a size larger than normal made no difference.

I have been coveting these boots for a year and finally decided to get them. I LOVE the way they look in photos!! However, I am sending them back because I hate the way they look on my feet...they make my feet look chunky. It's like the inside of the boot caves in (I'm probably not explaining this very well). Needless to say, I'm so disappointed. Also, the Teal color was WAY more green than the pics online. I'm going to have to find a new pair of boots to covet!

I wanted to like these. I've eyed them for awhile but I have a narrow heel and my heel slipped when walking. I could tell I'd have a blister soon. The rest of the fit was fine. Not too narrow in the toe and true to size.

I ordered 2 pair of these beautiful boots in size 43 (12 - 12.5) but they ran extremely short, more like an 11. So disappointed. Wish they came in a 44.

It was pretty comfortable but was more green than blue like the photos, so I returned them-
