Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Star

Simple and comfortable. I do a lot of walking in them. Looking into buying more colors.

Lucky me, size 9 works! The burnt orange wasn't available in 8.5. I generally wear an 8 in shoes and sandals but have always need a size 9 in tennis shoes. These are cute and compfy.

I purchased these for our recent trip to Portugal and am so happy I did. I wore them every day for 21 days walking everywhere and my feet felt great. No break-in time and no blisters. Great arch support and just super comfy. After three weeks abroad they still look and feel great. Do follow the recommendations and buy one half size larger then your normal size. These shoes are worth every penny!

BEST SNEAKERS EVER. I have purchased this shoe in five different colors. I have never once had an issue with sizing inconsistencies between pairs. They are incredibly comfortable and adorable. Easily my favorite shoe of all time. You need these.

Cute style. Too short in toe box.

I have flat feet and usually have to wear custom orthotics. However, tgese have enough support that I can comfortably wear them without my orthotics. They are cute comfy and on trend! Love them. I have the khaki and wore them for the last year. They show very little wear. I plan on getting the charcoal color next! The only thing I don't like is that they are cut low and require a low cut sock. If you want a comfy alternative to converse then these might just be your shoe!

These shoes are worth the money and deserving of the hype! I bought them in two colors (charcoal and khaki) for a five-day trip to Chicago. I knew I'd be walking a lot and I wanted comfort but a bit more style than my Saucony running shoes. I logged 10+ miles each day on concrete sidewalks in these shoes and my feet, knees and lower back felt far better than I've ever experienced. I usually had no pain or fatigue until I hit about mile 7 on any given day. Then I'd take a rest and get back to my plans, and I was good to go. I have a trip to France coming up in December, so I'll be looking at this brand in a warmer version for that trip as well. Tip: I sprayed them with a light coating of Scotchguard right out of the box to help them resist stains.

Best. Sneakers. Ever. The arch support is amazing, they aren't too big around my foot which is typically a problem (my foot runs narrow and at size 11, they are usually too big). I'm wearing them everywhere and it's really helping to relieve a bad case of planters fasciitis. Highly recommend these if you need arch support and don't want to look like a grandma (which I am...but trying not to look the part). :)

This shoe offers a lot more arch support and comfort than one might expect from a Ked-ish shoe. I'm planning to wear these while sightseeing in London, and after a test-walk of about 1.75 miles, believe they will fit the bill. I should have worn Band-Aids on my heel though...at least to begin with. I love the charcoal color, but be advised that the laces and trim are off- white and not a crisp white. I wear a 7.5 in athletic shoes and found the advice to size up about a half-size was wise. Plenty of room in the toe bed for me (and I have small bunions on both feet). Overall, I am pleased with this purchase.

This shoe has a nice grey color that will go with everything. They are very comfortable with nice arch support.

I have to have supportive shoes or my back and legs hurt, and I LOVE these shoes!!! They are fun, on trend, supportive and comfortable! What more can you ask for!

These shoes are super cute and look great, and are very comfy.

Cute, comfortable. Was worried the arch would be too high for me but they proved very comfortable when worn all day.

I love this cute, yet comfortable shoes.

Cute look but size is way off. I know this brand runs small. I wear a 10-10.5 normally. I ordered the 11 still way too small. I've ordered the 12's (yikes!) and will see how they fit.

These lightweight shoes were just what I was looking for to wear with cropped jeans and pants this summer. I purchased the white, which has a subtle khaki stitching. They are very comfortable right out of the box. I had returned a couple of other brands that were very clunky and heavy and made my size 8 feet look huge. These have excellent support and are very stylish. I found them to be true to size and width, very comfortable for my toe area, but no slipping in the heel. They are my second pair of Taos, and I wear them primarily for preventing a reoccurrence of my plantar fasciitis, but also because they have a great casual look.

Nice arch, great quality. Nice shoes if you have a medium width foot. My feet are more narrow. The fit was not tight enough, even with the laces tight.

These shoes are adorable - the perfect shoe for lots of walking with plenty of comfort and looks good too. Both my teenage daughter and I have them - she got the navy multi-splash (now I want) and I got the goes with everything khaki. We both have narrow feet and these work well for us. Also we both occasionally need to order a 1/2 size up from our normal size when buying shoes and needed to buy up for this shoe. So I am normally a 9 but needed a 9 1/2 in this shoe.

These are super comfortable and supportive without looking orthopedic! They have the most support in the arch and heel - not so much in the toes. I thought that would be a problem but they're actually really comfortable. I had to break them in a bit but now I love them.

The best sneakers on the market. I walk a lot (I mean A LOT!) and these are the only sneakers that I wear these days. I own pairs in 4 different colors. They are on trend, and arch support and sole cushioning is excellent (unlike Converse). They are reasonably light weight (9 oz compared to 13 oz for Converse Chuck Taylors), so they are good for traveling.

So far I have only worn these inside to be sure that they are a comfortable fit with enough support, and they seem to be meeting those requirements. I haven't been able to wear cute tennis shoes in years, thanks to my wide feet, high instep and plants fasciitis. But I think these are going to work just fine! If they do, I will buy a second more neutral pair, but I just thought these were so cute in the Navy Multi Splash that I had to have them. I bought my daughter a pair, too. Please note that for both of us, I bought a half size larger than I usually do for shoes, but that is pretty typical for me when I buy tennis shoes or running sneakers. And even though I usually wear a wide, these are wide enough that I think they are going to work for me. The arch support is really firm - if you aren't used to that, it may take you a little bit to adjust. But for me, that's what I was looking for - can't wear Keds, Converse, etc. due to lack of support.

I love this style of shoe, but have had a lot of trouble finding shoes like this that didn't feel like I was walking on flat pavement. Simple shoes used to fit my needs, but they have been gone for a while now. After reading the reviews, I thought these might be worth a try - and I am so happy I tried. They are super comfortable and exactly what I was looking for. Right out of the box, they were ready to wear almost anywhere. I'm very happy I bought these shoes!

I've always wanted to wear this style of shoe, but most don't come with the support I need. I am a big fan of Taos, so was thrilled to find this style in their product line. I read the recommendations and ordered a size 10 when I normally wear 9.5. They felt a little stiff initially, but I wore them around the house the first day and they quickly softened just enough. I have worn them all day long and they are very comfortable and really cute. I love them with cropped jeans or even a casual sundress. They are perfect in the summer when you need a little more protection than sandals.

While I really wanted to like this shoe, it slipped on the back of both of my heels. It might have been better if the back and side of the shoe were cut a little higher.

Love these sneakers! Nice arch support, the insert is removable and my orthodics fit! They do run a bit short. I ordered a half size up AND a full size up and wound up keeping the full size larger (and ordering 2 more pair in different colors!). My 23 year old daughter liked them so much that she got a pair as well and she went a full size up also. There is enough room in the toe box (and enough depth so my toes aren't squished). They are a little bit narrower along the top of the foot where the laces tie, but that works for my foot. Plus if they are a bit too narrow you have the option of not lacing them up all the way. I think with wear, these will break in nicely. I am SO happy I finally found a pair of sneakers to fit. In the summer months it is so nice to have a lighter weight, less bulky sneaker to wear with capris or shorts and STILL be comfortable. Thanks Zappos.
