Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Star

The shoes are very comfortable although they’re flatter than what I normally buy. I like the casual style. Great summer shoe!

Liked shoes. The Wide fit better than medium width. But still with that pesky seam across a bunion on my foot. Other than that would have kept and enjoyed for many years.

These shoes are cute and comfortable, but run really small. I will have to buy up a full size for a correct fit.

Great fit - footbed is comfortable but definitely not a Dansko or a Skechers . I’ve kept them and wear them occasionally but not for walking long distances

I have narrow and flat feet and use orthotics (superfeet). I ordered a half size larger due to feedback these ran small, but they were too big for me -- my normal size would have been fine. The footbed was removable and was nicely structured. My regular inserts didn't quite sit properly in the shoe, but the arch felt supportive enough that I might not need them. I'm not a huge fan of the raised section at mid-foot, but it wasn't uncomfortable.

This is the third time I've bought these sneakers. I love them an wear them until they fall apart (which is a long time!). I ordered size 8.5 ( a half size larger) the for the 1st two, so I did that this time too. This time the 8.5, is too small. I've never ordered a 9 in any shoe before, but I will have to now.

These shoes were a bit lighter in weight than I expected, so I'm wearing them for casual wear rather than for tennis wear. That being said, They're fine casual wear shoes: comfortable, very attractive (the color is really nice), and a real addition to a year-round walking wardrobe.

Cute shoes, but stiff and cut a little short. Had to put on the shoe stretcher to wear comfortably—but I was warned with previous reviews!

These are super cute and look great with skinny jeans. Love the tweed pattern.

The heel was too wide and my foot slipped even with a sock. I wanted to love them as they are so cute and the arch was wonderful.

I wear the same size in the Taos sandals. They fit perfectly. I loved the way these shoes looked and wanted them to work. The lacing hit the top of my foot wrong.

These shoes were so cute. Loved the cream colored laces. Unfortunately the arch support was all wrong for my foot and made the shoe very uncomfortable.

Good fit overall (gorgeous plaid print) but other reviewers are correct - the Moc Star and Star are both VERY THIN under the ball of the foot. Amazing arch support, superior heel cup, and then it's odd that all the padding and support goes away under the ball of the foot. This makes for walking on pavement or hard floors a bit uncomfortable if you like a little padding there. The Taos Plimsoul is the only one I tried that has any padding in the front foot, so I kept that one instead despite the color choices being less fun.

Very fun spring shoe. Arch support is nice. Agree that a little more padding under my metatarsals would make this a more perfect shoe.

They look great and I want to love these shoes, but they fit oddly. The arch is supportive but I feel like the shoe isn't deep enough for the arch supports. It just ends up feeling like a lot going on inside the shoe.... I took these on a recent trip that involved a lot of walking. They were very supportive but do require some break in and getting used to.

I originally ordered my usual size (8.5) directly from Taos. They were just a tiny bit too short, but the arch support was great. I had a lot of issues with the Taos return process, and they were out of the next size up. So I ordered the 9 from Zappos, and while the length fit correctly, the arch was not quite in the proper place for my foot. These are super cute shoes, and would be great if they fit me properly. I hope that someone else is very happy with them. In terms of support, they are much like Keds.

They are adorable and the fit is accurate, however the arches hit my foot in a weird spot which causes pain. It feels like the support hits too close to my forefoot. I removed the inserts and added my own, which made these wearable. As long as I keep this in mind, I will order more pairs in the future.

I like them, but the arch might be a bit too high.

Comfy -- got a wide to accommodate a bunion. But shoelace was easily destroyed by my puppy and Taos isn't sending replacements yet due to Covid (Mar '21). The white edge easily scuffs and gets dirty, but I'd still buy again.

I have been searching forever for a pair of white sneakers that look like tennis shoes in a size wide. Very pleased with this pair of sneakers

Very cute but not comfortable for my foot.

Great arch and heel support and a cute shoe. They are a little stiff and wish there were more padding on the back of the heel.

I have two other pairs of Stars in different colors that fit and felt great right out of the box. I can teach in them all day. The most recent pair in blue washed canvas are disappointing in comparison. They feel at least a half size smaller and feel more like a medium width than the wide width they are supposed to be. I put them on, drove to work, and walked to my classroom, and now have a blister. I’m so disappointed in these.

As suggested by other reviewers, I ordered a half-size up. I like the arch support as my feet pronate. And the brown plaid makes these distinctive, which I also like. (my other favorite casual sneakers are red suede.) Overall, I am very pleased with these shoes.

So adorable! I wanted to love these but the wide didn't feel wide enough and overall I didn't think they'd be comfortable for long. I do have very sensitive feet though.
