Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Crave

These boots run small. I normally wear an 11, and the largest size, 43, is too short in length. This is supposed to be the equivalent of size 12. This boggles my mind. Had to return them.

I really wish they would have worked. Way too small. I’m a size 11 and ordered the 42, but they are too tight. They also do not come in a bigger size. So sad. I also wish it had more arch support.

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!

I always wear a size 11 and these were DEFINITELY way too small. If they came in a size 12 (or 43) - I'd be ordering them. They seemed comfortable even though they were clearly way too small which I why I couldn't give a higher rating.

Arrived scratched on the sides by the laces

8.5 wide is my typical size - I ordered the 39W and they fit nicely. I just can't understand the stacked look heel. For $250 I expect a more substantial heel - is it the part of the shoe that works the hardest. I just don't understand. So - I do love the boot, the fit, the style - but the heel is a hard no.

Not at all attractive. Leather very so-so in quality.

These are gorgeous boots. The color is amazing. The fit however, is not. I ended up sizing down hoping for a better fit but the heel was still too loose. There is a also a strap across the back of the boot right above the heel which makes a hard spot right where you wouldn’t want rubbing to happen.

I love these boots but had to send them back twice due to sizing. I wear a 10 or 11. Ordered an 11 the first time and they were too short. Sent them back and got a 12. They were also too short! In fact they felt the same as the 11s but they did say 12 on the boot. Was wishing I still had the 11s to compare them sole to sole. Very disappointed as they are great looking boots. Also not pleased with how much time I wasted on this attempted purchase.

As soon as I put them on I knew they were the wrong size I tried them on in a store before purchasing and instead of receiving the equivalent of a size 12 I received the equivalent of an 11 Love the style but they definitely run small

These boots are SOOOOOOO cute. But, I had to return them. They were way to small. So sad. (I wear a size 11 so there is no size up. Even the 43s were too small, and that has never happened to me before.)

I wanted to love these boots, but they feel terrible walking in them. The left boot is either missing its shank or it's misshapen. The heel digs into my arch when standing and walking. The right shoe seems fine. I've never had this problem before with a shoe.

They were beautiful, They were comfortable and absolutely LOVED the color. However, all it took for My christmas present that I wore on Christmas Day to be ruined was one accidental step on my foot from my 6 year old grandson.. C’mon, I have other boots that are far more durable.

Really weird footbed shape that made it very uncomfortable to walk in these boots. There is a noticeable lift towards the outside of the foot - like arch support but on the wrong side of the foot. It made me feel like I was walking on the outsides of my feet instead of flat and hurt a little when walking around the house. Not sure what sort of foot shape these are meant to work for as I've never run into this issue with any other shoe. Returning.

The quality of these boots is horrible as well as customer service. I have only worn my boots twice because they SQUEAK very loud when I walk. I tried removing the insoles and they STILL SQUEAK. I contacted customer service at TAOS and they don't seem to care.

I was so excited to get these boots. Unfortunately, they are very narrow and fit a size smaller than they are listed for my size. I wear a size 12 so I ordered a 43… no chance of a bigger size. They are so tight there’s no hope of them breaking in without hurting myself. So bummed.

I, unfortunately, wear a larger size (12). The sizing on the shoe claimed it was US size 12 - 12.5, but it was way too small. My wife (a size 10) tried them on and said they fit her very well. The upper sizing is obviously far off.

When I opened the box I was in love....until I put them on. In no world is the 43 anywhere close to a women's size 12. It was at least a full size smaller than a 12. I was worried this might be the case but thought I'd give them a shot since it said the 43 was equivalent to a 12-12.5. So very disappointed because they are absolutely beautiful. Bummed

I consistently wear a size 11 shoe. I looked at the size chart and it said that a size 42 corresponded to 11-11.5. I ordered that size and they were way, way too small. So I ordered size 43 (corresponding to 12-12.5) and they are also way too small. I'm so sad!!! This bootie looks absolutely perfect. I'll never know if it wears as good as it looks. But there are lots of us out here with big feet. Why not make a size that fits us???

No fault of Zappos but I expect when I pay $200 for shoes they are of a good quality. I purchased the red color and out of the box on boot had a pink tinge to the midfoot. There's a toe cap of a deep maroon/red and the top suede fabric mimics the deep tone and is awesome. They are truely a great looking boot so I was thinking one shoe was defective and put them on to see the fit. The fit and comfort were very good. I wear 8.5 in boots to allow for socks and these were a good width and cushioned. I wore them around on the carpeting to see how noticeable the color difference was. I really wanted to keep them. After wearing in the bedroom a short time both boots started to show creasing and cracking of the red color on the top where the boot flexes. Didn't take long for these gorgeous boots to look old and damaged. Game changer - they are going back. what a shame.

These are very nice. The leather is rather stiff at first but they break in with a few wears. Very stylish with a great color.

I like the boots a lot but the price point was a too high, so I needed to send it back. I needed to wait for them to go on sale!

The boot fit and it's super supportive and comfortable. It's got a nice tread so I can wear them outdoors in the winter for shopping as well as inside with leggings or tights and dress. Just what I wanted!

These are beautifully made and so comfortable to step into! If you have a larger sneaker size than show size, consider using the larger size when ordering. These were too small for me in my regular show size.
