I am in love with these shoes! I usually wear a size 9 in shoes, but the 9 felt about a half size too small so I returned for a 9.5 which fits perfectly! Amazing footbed and comfort along with perfect style.

Absolutely love the look of this shoe! Super cute with jeans. Inside there is a good arch support but they are not cushioned really. I would buy another pair.

Very Comfortable shoe with great support and quality built. I did return it not because of the size, quality or comfort. The color was not what I was looking for. If you are looking for that fun and comfortable shoe to be on the go with, this would be a good choice. I have a very wide foot and the "W" fit well.

I love these shoes! You don’t have to worry about breaking them in because they are comfortable from the start! There are so many colors to choose from and I will be buying another pair soon!

I have pretty severe tendonitis, along the side of one of my feet. Pretty sure crappy walking shoes were part of the problem. These got great reviews and I honestly love them. Super cute, very comfortable, great for walking around.

These shoes are awesome. I usually wear New Balance but needed tennis that didn't look like workout shoes. These fit the bill. I am Happy. They arrived just in time for my trip.

This is a gorgeous shoe. It fits the foot very snugly. However, it was a bit on the short side (my toes touched the end).
If you remove the insert, it is actually a rather flimsy sneaker. The arch support all comes from the thick foam insert.

I need wide for the toe area, but W not wide enough. Bummed, because the support and the arch are sooo comfy.

Loved the color of these, but unfortunately the size was too small. The burnt orange wasn't available in an 8.5, so I ordered the grey instead.

I was able to wear this shoe out of the box (no break-in period) for 10 hours of desk work and light walking. It rubbed my heel a little, but the amount of support is perfect (enough, but not so much that my foot feels frozen), the sole is flexible, and the overall look is cute. The canvas feels a little stiff, but I think it will loosen with time. If these were cheaper, I would immediately buy all colors. As it is, I think I will cherish these and watch out for sales. I have picky feet and these are the first sneakers I have found comfortable in ages. My only other comfortable sneakers are inov trail running shoes, but those are for hiking on dirt, not dealing with hard, flat surfaces (those surfaces require a little more padding, but I still like flexibility).

I love these shoes. They're cute--the heavy lacing is part of the style in my opinion, and they have a nice summery feel to them. The support is magnificent and there is even some stability with the lacing and the heel cup. Sadly for me, they are too flat and bother my knees after extended wear. I think I will keep them for light wear around the house because they feel so good underfoot. If you are able to wear totally flat shoes with arch support, these will fit the bill. I went with the advice and sized up half a size. Perfect fit.

These shoes are cute, and they even have a metatarsal support. Unfortunately, the wide is just a little too narrow for my very wide foot. Almost!

I read the reviews before I made my first purchase of Taos, but I doubted that a shoe with a sole this thin would provide the support I need, due to my plantar fasciitis. BUT from the moment I put them on, I have been in complete comfort. The insoles have sturdy, pillow-like arches that fully support my foot. I couldn't be happier with a pair of shoes.

This was my first pair of Taos but certainly won't be the last. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and normally wear brands like chacos, dansko and vionic. I've been searching for a casual sneaker and these did not disappoint, the footbed is as good or better than any of the brands I mentioned. They came in the mail today and I wore them sockless all day without issue. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfect.

So, I took a chance on these. I put them on this morning before work and thought it could be a bad idea...new shoes, all day on your feet and all. I got home this evening and went to change clothes and I realized I had my new shoes on. I put them on this morning and didn't think about them again for 13 hours!!! I wear orthopedics in all my shoes with removable footbeds. But not these bad boys! I have plantar fasciitis and I had NO PAIN at all while wearing these shoes. MY NEW FAVORITE!

I normally wear an 8.5 W and ordered a 1/2 size up since several reviews recommended sizing up. I couldn't get my foot into the shoe.

I read the other reviews and order a size up (size 9). I wear a 8.5 in the other styles of Taos shoes. The 9 ended up being too big. I reordered in the 8.5 and it fit much better. I suggest ordering your normal size. I got the grey wash and it is a nice neutral color.

This is a very comfortable shoe. I wore these all day on a weekend get-away and they were great. It was nice to get a cute and comfortable shoe in a wide width.

I’m very pleased with this shoe. It doe run narrow so I recommend the Wide. Then it is a European-size shoe so you may need to go up a half size or more. The 42 I got fits perfectly. I normally wear a 10. I got the dark charcoal, and the color is what I expected. The laces are cream. The shoe has very good support in the sole and along the sides. This is not an unstructured Keds-style shoe. It is a solid shoe with a retro flair. I’m glad I found this shoe!

I ordered three pairs of similar styled sneakers: these, Keds and Sperry. These Taos sneakers felt the best by far. I wore them around the house for a while before trying the other brands. I immediately felt the difference in arch support and heel cushioning. I'm keeping these and sending the other brands back. I wear a 10W and this is the only color in that size. I wish there were others.

These are great shoes but they run small. Order up a half size -- I normally wear a 9 and couldn't even get one on my foot. The 9.5 fit perfectly.
