Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Star

Very cute but runs quite short and the wide width feels more like medium width. I would order a half size bigger than usual. Also, if your arches are, oh, say up around your armpits, then you will enjoy the HIGH arch. If you are a normal human, it will be VERY uncomfortable. So I was able to solve the width problem and the ridiculous arch by removing the sole insert, thank goodness. Overall, very cute shoe, but not as comfortable as it looks.

These shoes were ok. Not as comfy as I was hoping. But they are very cute

Order up in size. Normally wear a 9W ordered 10W and fits great! Not a lot of cushion but surprisingly good arch support. Will probably buy another pair.

I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for 8-9 months, but find that I am able to keep the heel pain away as long as I have good arch support. During the summer, my Birkenstocks were a lifesaver, but as it got colder, I struggled to find supportive shoes that were low profile to wear with leggings. I finally bought these and am very glad I did! There are a couple of cons - there's very little padding at the ball of the foot and there are seams inside the shoe that rub so I have to wear them with socks (thicker is more comfortable) - but the arch support is so good that it's worth it. I have no pain in my heel when I wear these. I ordered 1/2 size larger than usual and in the wide width (my feet are borderline wide) and I'm glad I did, especially since I prefer to wear them with socks.

Excellent arch support, but the highest point of the toe box is in the middle. For those with wider forefeet, this shoe may not work well.

Great looking shoe but the sizing ran small, particularly in the toe box. Had to return.

I wanted to like it but it ran small and for ordering a wide it didn’t feel wide. Trying a half size up. Hope they just run small.

Sizing as expected but really looking for comfort to wear on overseas trip, and upper canvas is very stiff, no give.

I really like the look of these shoes. The length was fine but the arch support made the shoe too tight for me. I could barely lace them. I do have a high arch. When I took out the arch support they fit fine but I need some support so I returned them. I was disappointed they did not fit.

It was advised that I order a 7.5 in this shoe, but I ordered an 8. It's too short, so I'm having to return it. The color red is not very true, but the arch support is great. I really want to try another pair.

First-time Taos wearer. Used to love Keens before they started making narrower shoes. These Taos sneakers are cute, but they are not as cushioned as Keens (or other non-athletic sneakers I've tried). The heel edge is still breaking in. Generally happy with the shoe, but I'll likely go back to Keens. Oh, and I went up half a size and got the wide width.

I wanted so much to love these shoes but they rubbed against my toe joint. They are super cute and the soles feel very comfy and supportive. My loss. I usually wear a 10-10.5 and ordered an 11. I fit well with a sock.

This shoe is super cute and really good arch support. However, the rest of the footbed didn't see as comfortable and for that reason I will be sending it back. It does run a little small and I need a 1/2 size up.

Don't know how people can call this a walking shoe. The arch support is good but the front part of the foot has nothing but a thin piece of insole and it feels as though I'm walking directly on the ground. Not a comfortable shoe for me or my plantar fascitis.

Cute shoe. Arch support (which I usually love) hits in the wrong place and is very hard. Alas, I am returning.

This is my third pair in 3 months! I have very. Ad feet and love the support if these shoes. The only negative I have about them is the lack of cushioning on the ball of the foot, and that I am not able to cinch the toes quite enough for my narrow feet. However, the positives FAR outweigh any negative!

While the arch support was good, I did not like the feel of the toe. No give. Realized that it was because of the canvas. Will send back and try the leather.

I like the arch support, but these are significantly shorter than the size would indicate

Great arch support, but a little tight in the toe area, even though I ordered up a size. Maybe it's just the design of the toe box?Sorry to return them.

Really liked the look of these but my heel kept slipping in the back and I needed these for walking on vacation. Could not go smaller or my toes would have been scrunched.

This shoe runs very, very small.I sized up a whole size from my normal size 11 to a 12 and they are just a little short. They seem to have very good support and actually look pretty small on my feet. Alas, my toes need a little more room to be happy so back they go.

I just bought my second pair of these shoes and really like them. The arch support is the selling feature of these shoes for me because I have very flat feet. I also have very narrow feet and am able to adjust these to fit. The only issue I have with these shoes is the lack of padding in the footbed. If there were more padding, I would have given an extra star.

I'm a solid size 11, ordered 12 based on all the reviews, and they are huge! The grey color is really nice, and the shoe is very well constructed (a bit on the heavy side). I would've tried it in 11, but they didn't have this color in my size.

I really wanted to love these shoes! They are very cute and amazingly they fit my narrow, boney feet. However, the shoes just don't have quite enough padding to cushion my sensitive feet. Unfortunately, will be returning them.

Cute shoes. Heavier than I expected. Had to return because my little toe rubbed on a large seam. They are wider than most shoes in this style. Nice arch support.
