Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Star

Shoes are very cute. Have good arch support. I bought a 10.5 W. Normally don't wear a wide shoe but read the reviews and went a 1/2 size longer and to the wide. They fit in the width well. Heels are a bit slippy but hoping it will decrease as the canvas breaks in. Worth the purchase.

Shoe is on trend but is a full size smaller. I was surprised to find it had great arch support which is not common in shoes this style. Fabric is a little stiff but hopefully will soften up with wear. Gray canvas is nice neutral.

I ordered a full size larger than i usually wear and glad I did. Very cute shoe but a bit stiff . Not particularly comfy for me. It probably would have softened up when broken in but i found the edges of the top edge/opening and the top of the tongue to all be stiff and uncomfortable. I am returning because I found a different show I liked as well but was more comfortable. Too bad because this is a super cute shoe.

I could not even get my feet into these and I can usually wear a 6-1/2 to 7 shoe. Returned these and ordered a 7 which didn't fit well either and I so wanted these to work! Very disappointed!

These are great shoes. They just didn't fit me great. I normally wear a 7.5 sometimes an 8. I ordered these in an 8. They were definitely too narrow and maybe a little too short for my foot. I'm not sure if I would need a 8 wide, 8.5 medium, or an 8.5 wide. At the same time I ordered the Taos retro star sneaker in leather also in an 8. It fits perfectly. It is made a little wider and longer that the star, so I kept those and returned these. They are a great supportive shoe if you have the right fit.

I normally wear a size 11 or 11.5 and needed the size 12 in these. I also have pretty darn narrow feet, so with these I figured I have to wear a pretty thick sick to take up the extra width of a medium width shoe. I didn't need to do that so I would say they run slightly narrow. They were a little stiff right our of the box but after wearing them for a couple of hours around the house, that wasn't an issue anymore. These shoes have fantastic arch support. I will be buying them in other colors. Very happy with my purchase!

Love the shoe, but had to return the first pair. The rivet ripped off the canvas of the upper most shoelace hole the first time I tied the shoes. I was not being forceful, so I think it must have been partial torn when it arrived. Zappos exchanged the shoes immediately, and my second pair is fantastic so far. Very comfy. I usually wear a 9 wide. After reading other reviews, I ordered a 9.5 wide. This was a good choice, the shoe is comfortable for long distance walking or being on your feet all day at work. I find them much more polished and trendy looking than traditional tennis shoes. I can get away with wearing then to work as a teacher with ON pixie pants and a cute top.

True to size. My feet are very narrow so the shoe is a bit wide; however, with laces, I can make it work. Very substantial snicker. much better than similarly styled sneakers, it appears these will last more for several years of wear. Great arch support. Only negative very little cushion in the forefoot.

These are super cute, and more comfortable than the vast majority of shoes this style. But these still felt like a regular width shoe. Honestly still very narrow. I have no idea how the regular width could be anymore narrow honestly! But, the length was off. Im usually a 7.5 wide, so Im going to try an 8 wide and see if that helps. I am hoping it does cause these seem like a well made, cute shoe, with some extra loving in the foot bed. Once the length is right the arch support might be better, but with the wrong length, it did not feel quite right.

Felt a little tight, which was fine because I feel like they’d be fine once worn in. But they really rubbed on my heels, which was sad because I loved them otherwise. Very cute!

Super cute shoes. Great arch support but ran a bit tight.

Good arch support. Not super comfortable but I love the cute look!

I'm reviewing these shoes after ordering replacements for them 2 years after heavy use. I ordered up a half size and found them to fit very well; I sometimes fit a wide width better, but found a regular width .5 size up to fit comfortably. I was very impressed by the amount of support these shoes had. I specifically bought them for events where I am on my feet for 14+ hour days, several days in a row. They really changed my comfort and ability to stay on my feet for these events. I was sad I had to discard them due to rips and wear less than 2 years after purchase considering their cost, but I was happy to give the brand another try due to how comfortable they were with a purchase of Star Bursts, which I really look forward to.

Ordered 1/2 size larger based on other reviews so they did fit. However, the stitching inside rubbed and the shoe canvas was quite stiff and uncomfortable. I like to be able to wear my sneakers without socks and there was no way that I would be able to do so with these without a whole lot of bandaids. I have other Taos canvas sneakers that are softer than these. Returned.

These were just a smidge too short on my 11-11.5 feet! Bummed, but they are so cute and I will envy those who get to wear these!

I ordered several pairs of similar shoes and these in gray were the winners. I wear a 9 or a 9.5 and the 9.5 fit perfectly. I like that they have a cute style but more arch support than other similar shoes, without being super heavy. I think they might need a bit of breaking in and I wouldn't wear them to walk miles and miles but for chasing kids and running around town they will be great and comfy.

I love these shoes! They are very comfortable with a flexible outer sole and the insole is well padded and comfortable as well, so they are perfect for long walks. They do run rather small: I normally wear a 7 to a 7.5, but for this shoe, an 8 fits just right.

These are great shoes and have good arch support. Very comfortable and good for bopping around town. I would not wear them though for hiking or anything like that. But for a city shoe they are great.

These are my 4th pair of these shoes, so I must love them. They're great for everyday wearing/walking. They have excellent arch support (it feels like walking on a cloud), are stylish, and I can wear them all day comfortably. They definitely run small -- I order a size up. The toes could use more support/comfort, as the sole is thin in front compared to the heel/arch. Also, they have the weakest shoe laces I've ever come across -- the laces on every pair I've purchased have broken (current laces broke after 1 month of wearing). The laces seem softer than typical laces, so maybe that's the reason.

I ordered these shoes in May and wore them regularly through the summer and into the fall. Based on other reviews, I ordered a half size up, and the shoes fit well. They are made of a fairly heavy canvas which caused my feet to sweat, so I always wore them with socks. The shoes are comfortable and provided more arch support than a pair of Eccos I have in a similar style. My only complaint is that the soles seem to be wearing through in several places after only seven months, whereas the soles of the Eccos held up for several years of regular wear.

I ordered up a size because my normal size 11 was too short. They are comfortable but after walking at a fast pace for a while, the balls of my feet were sore. Great to wear around on a normal day, but the insole is thin near the front of the shoe. Otherwise, for this type of shoe, there was good arch support.

Love the look of this shoe and it has been very comfortable for running errands, etc. I bought the charcoal color, which goes with everything and is a nice alternative to black. I have a feeling the heel might rub with longer walking, but haven't had occasion for that yet--my heels are quite narrow and this is often an issue for me. The arch support is excellent and I haven't needed so far to substitute my orthotics for the insole that comes with the shoe. Longer walking might require that, along with additional padding under the ball of the foot. It's surprising, given how much padding the insole provides under the heel that there isn't more up front. My normal size fits me fine, even with moderately thick sock.

Liked this very much and wanted to keep it but if you have a bunion like me, the laces start too low and bump into that tender bunion despite the wide width (which otherwise was good)

These shoes run about 1/2 size small. I really like how the look and they seem to be made well. The arch support is noticeable but they're not just extremely comfortable. Maybe they will be once they're broken in. I'll keep them though since they're cute.

The size of the shoe was good it was just a little to narrow. I ordered Moc Star and the width was perfect.
