Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Crave

Much smaller and narrower than the marked size.

These are a lot lighter in color than pictured and I would say the width is more of a medium. Cute boot, though! I hate to return it, but no choice

Unfortunately the item i received was very scuffed up. Sad to return but too expensive to start with a somewhat used item

These shoes are super cute! However, they run so small that I can't possibly wear them. They seemed a little tight when I first tried them on, but I attributed it to needing to break them in. The site said that this is the case. However, they are so painful that I had to go home and change after a 30-minute walk. I'm hoping that a cobbler will be able to stretch them out half a size. If not, then it'll end up being a waste! If you end up getting these, go at least a half size bigger than you normally wear!

Initially I thought these were fantastic. They were immediately comfortable, didn’t seem to need any breaking in. So I wore them out to a party. Then I put them on to wear to work and noticed the right one squeaking obnoxiously. The more I’ve worn them, the worse it’s gotten. Both are now squeaking. It’s annoying and embarrassing and it shouldn’t be happening! Brand new leather boots are NOT supposed to squeak, especially ones that cost more than $200! I wish I had never worn these outside so I could return them. Definitely won’t be buying this brand ever again. I knew I should have just bought Dr. Martens…

Incredibly stiff and uncomfortable.

I tried a couple of sizes, because I wasn't quite sure whether I needed the 38 or 39. Neither seemed quite right, which has always been my experience with this sizing method. I wanted to love these boots, because they seem to be high quality, but they are just miserable to wear. I wore them around my house (which has a lot of stairs), and OUCH! The leather that goes behind your heel has zero give, and is painful (I tried 4 different pairs, they all were like this). There is a chance that with time they would break in and soften up, but @ $200 a pair, I couldn't afford to take that risk. Sorry. Also, they don't come in wide, and if you have teeny ankles and calves like I do, you can't lace them tightly enough. Especially if you have a high instep and arches. I usually overcome the high instep problem with a wide width, but it's not offered here.

This is the 2nd pair of these boots I purchased. I'm returning them because the color is to dark and is not as described. They look brown which is not what I thought I was buying.

These were astonishingly small. I am tall and wear and 11-12 so I ordered a 43. They felt more like a 10. The color was off as well. They looked hunter green rather than teal. Overall, they looked rather cheap. I was shocked. They are going back today. So disappointed.

These boots are well made. However they run small, especially in width. I can wear other brands in a narrow or medium width. These come in medium width that, sadly, is lacking. Unfortunately a larger size or width is not available in my case.

Although I loved the styling and how the boot accommodates orthotics, this boot did not fit a foot that is wide in front and narrow at heel like mine. I'm usually a regular 38, but my heel lifted and my orthotic slid forward and also rolled up a bit. The Taos insert was labeled 38-39 indicating that the boot base is sized long and a bit narrow. When I tried sizing down to a 37, the boot upper was way too narrow in front. Pikolinos Le Mans was a much better fit with similar style but doesn't accommodate an orthotic. Arche boots also fits me.

I couldn't wait for two pairs (size 39 and 40) to arrive. Loved these boots because of the ad from Zappos. Unfortunately, I ordered Teal, thinking they would be like the ad, but all I saw was black. Also, they are very heavy and definitely not a boot you can just jump into.

Love the shoes so sad they seemed to run super small. I wear a 12 and ordered a 43 and I could barely get my foot in the shoe.

I’ve been looking at these boots for months. First, they are beautiful and beautifully made. I wear a size 10-1/2 so I never know what shoe will fit. I ordered size 41-42 and they where both small which was surprising as most 42 are a little large. I found the same problem with their sneakers. I wish they fit, they are beautiful.

These boots are very attractive in person. The wood stacked heel, toe stitching and overall look are beautiful. Unfortunately, they cut along the top of my foot and my heel slipped a lot. They're lovely to look at but uncomfortable to wear. :(

ran very small

Beautiful Boots. Great service. I bought a 40 in a shop but had to return them. I sized up to 41 from Zappos. I live overseas so tried them on...seemed OK. I discarded all the packaging and off I went. Boots are tight and I actually think I needed a 42. The toes are tight but heel slips. I have blisters! I am determined to break them in. Not comfy out of the box like my Rockport Bethany...but the look and color (ink blue) are really nice. If they break in I will order another color in 42 next time I come stateside. Wish they came in 1/2 sizes. I love all the nice colors and two choices in black. Thanks Zappos.

I love the look of these boots so much. I ordered the recommended size and they were too small, so I returned them. When I got the next size up, they foot my foot but left giant gaping holes around my ankles. I'm returning them again and passing completely. It's a shame because they're really good looking boots! Both the red and the brown colors are pretty true to the photos you see on Zappos.

Sole is so hard, not comfortable at all

I couldn't even get my foot in the boot with the zipper fully down and the boot unlaced. I have had these exact same boots (but in teal) before in 2018 and they fit perfectly. Not sure if the design has changed but no way were these the same. So disappointed.

Shoes were scuffed and had worn spots as if they had been worn. I returned them.

I would have loved to keep them, but I was sent brown boots in a box that said black. I need the black boots. Very disappointing!

I wanted to like the boots, but they were TOO TIGHT I ordered the 11.5 W and normally wear a 11 W.

The boot was great to look at. Sizing is not true to fit

This shoe is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than marked. The size 12-12.5 fit like a size 9!!!
