I loved the looks of these, but they have to go back. I have moderately wide toes but a narrow heel. These looked like I might be able to break them in, but I couldn't even walk in them. Having the stitching on the cap across the toe may look nice, but it's WAY TOO TIGHT & makes it feel like someone is stepping on your toes. I have a normal to high arch, but these felt like the "arch" went straight across, almost like you are standing on the rung of a ladder.
The tongue is soft, like glove leather, but the rest of the shoe is made with leather that is way too thick & stiff. I asked if someone could recommend the regular or the oiled leather for stretchability, but did not get a straight answer. Unless these came in a wide, I assume that neither would stretch enough for me or anyone who has something other than a very narrow foot. They were also too stiff to be able to cinch them in on the instep or calf for a snugger fit there.
Picky little detail, but for how expensive these shoes were, the laces looked really cheap & they weren't laced consistently. If I really wanted to keep them, I would have had to purchase laces that didn't look like they were supposed to be in a sneaker.

I wrote a review on the poor quality of this boot, but the company is actually giving me a courtesy replacement. Considering the fact that I adore these I am very pleased.

I normally wear narrows but the medium width works well due to being able to tighten up the lacing on this boot. Excellent comfort right from first putting them on. I've been wanting a pair of red ankle boots that I could walk miles in and I think these are the ones to achieve that. Thank you Taos for combining comfort with fashion.

I see I have owned this pair of boots for 7+years now, so I think I owe them a review. I have the camel color and have worn them consistently during the fall and winter months and they still look and feel great. Stylish, good support, not too heavy. I would own these in every color if I could afford all of them!! They are expensive, but I continue to get my money's worth from these beauties.

Beautiful boots! Very well made and a good fit. The arch support is so good that I won't need my prescription orthotics.

Orthopedic inserts wearers rejoice because your inserts will fit, or at least my Powerstep inserts did. However, Taos offers a supportive removable footbed, so you may not need to replace them. These are gorgeous! Yes, they are expensive, but the quality and craftsmanship is apparent as soon as you open the box. I am a 7 1/2 or 8 normally. I ordered both the 7 - 7 1/2 (38) and the 8- 81/2. Both actually fit, but I was afraid the 8’s would slide around when walking, so I kept the 7’s. Thanks Zappos for being our go to shoe store! Buy the shoes!

I love Taos boots, they are so comfortable. I take a 5.5 and the 36 fits me perfect.

These are super cute boots and well made. Unfortunately they were too narrow for me. I have to return them. I might try a bigger or wider size if they have it.

Beautiful boot a little tight over the toe area. After 2 days of wearing them off and on around the house they stretched.

These were given as a gift. The recipient was extremely happy with the boots. She said they fit as expected and were very comfortable. She’s had multiple compliments on them. Her daughter now wants a pair.

These are the third pair of Crave's I've ordered. They are stylish and comfortable. I'm a size 9 and they were a perfect fit.

I bought these boots a few years ago and they are my go to shoes that I wear most of the fall/winter. Finally this year, I’ve worn the heel down enough that it developed holes but I’ve had 2 children since I first bought them!! They are so comfy, that I’ve taken long walks and some small hikes in them. I’ve had several people ask where I got them over the years because of the unique blue color. I’m just now looking to buy a new pair to replace the old.

My Beloved Taos Crave has changed up their sizing a bit!
This is my 4th pair of Taos Crave and the other 3 are in a size 42. I exchanged the original 42 pair for a 41 and they are perfect!
I wear a 41 in Mephisto and Dansko and felt like Taos ran small before this sizing adjustment.
This is my daily winter footwear, so comfortable and beautiful!

They feel like I’ve already broke them in, I wear size 9 (40) they fit perfect. I got them in red and will pick up another color they are that great. I would highly recommend.

Awesome looking boot, good fit, wore 38 instead of my normal 39. Leather a bit stiff, going to use some mink oil to soften. Love them.

I adore these boots. They are so comfortable with lovely craftmanship. The "Rugged colored olive" all suede boots fit me perfectly. But the leather boots with suede above the were too small. I tried 2 pairs - teal and camel. They were noticeably shorter when compared to the all suede boots. I held the boots sole to sole with heels aligned, to the rugged olive and both camel and teal boots were about 1/2 inch shorter and tad narrower.
I still only have the one pair - the rugged Olive - and am still trying to get another pair that fits like these!
These boots are wonderful and I strongly recommend getting a pair. - Just order one size up on leather compared to the all suede which fit as sized.

well constructed, very comfortable and true to size. My feet are a bit wide. I ordered my usual size and the toe box is comfy. I am going to enjoy these this winter!

I am in love with these boots! Wore them for an entire day, right out of the box, and no pain or issues at all!! I purchased the red pair and they are absolutely striking! Seriously debating getting another pair in different color!! For for, I wear an 8.5 normally and I purchased the 8-8.5. They fit snug but I know they will stretch as I wear them. If you’re on the fence—don’t be!!

Love these boots, but sadly the didn’t work out. They run very small. I wear a 42 in pikolinos, but ordered a 43 in the toas, and they were still too small. They’re still an excellent boot if you can fit them though, and I’d definitely recommend to anyone with smaller feet.

I love . Taos Footwear. I so wish they would come out with more WIDE versions. I got the pewter and loved them. They are more a grey than a metallic silver Very comfortable. Keep the colors and styles coming .
