Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Star

I love the look and support of this shoe. Sadly, it was too short. I'm a 12, so I have no options to size up. Can't knock the quality or comfort, but size matters here. I had to return and I'm quite sad about that. Was really looking forward to these being my new dailies.

I have narrow, flat feet and have had multiple surgeries to correct problems. My feet hurt constantly and finding shoes that work for me is difficult. I bought these based on other reviews and am glad I did! I have now been through several airports in these, and can make it to the end of a day of walking without too much pain. They are worth the momey!

I ordered a half size up and might could have gone a whole size up. They have great support but there's not enough room in the toe box for my comfort.

I liked these shoes but the sizing wasn't right for me. Normally wear an 8 and after reading reviews ordered an 8.5 but they still felt short. I could feel the arch support which was good and I like the color for summer wear. These are going back due to being too short.

My foot is generally a 10.5/11, and I had to order a 12 in these to get them to fit. So they're a little long, in my opinion, but still look (and feel) good enough to keep. Really excellent arch support, and you can believe that: my arches are sky high, and I didn't even need to add an insole to these (well, except for a little bit of cushion, but for me, it's huge NOT to have to add arch support).

Love these so much I'm planning to buy a pair in another color. They are stylish and comfortable even without socks. I can wear them all day long without discomfort or blisters - the true test will come next week when I visit NYC and put some miles on these shoes!

I purchased these for an upcoming vacation to the Pacific Northwest to alternate with my Birkenstocks if the weather is damp. I haven't worn them for extended distances yet, but my experience so far is that they are far more comfortable than my other sneakers (Jack Purcell, Vans, Superga). The arch support is a nice treat not typically found in canvas sneakers. And the color is really nice too (I ordered the charcoal grey). In fact, my husband liked them so much that he was inspired to seek out a men's version (and ended up with Simple - similar look, different fit). They definitely run short though. I am pretty consistently a size 9; in these I ordered both a 9.5 and a 10 based on reviews. My toe is right at the end with the 9.5, but the 10 is too large. For these reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5.

Love the arch support but had to return as they rubbed wrong on my heels.

really cute shoe. runs a tad small. I am returning for another size. The arch support is nice and the heel cupping is comfortable. They seem like you could walk n them all day.

These are great- awesome comfort and arch support. I have some heel pain, and these are helpful. I didn't give them 5 stars because Taos footwear seems to think gals with big feet don't need half sizes. They come in 10 and 11, no 10 1/2. I got the 10s, debating because they are close to being too short for me. But I wore them for the day and they were super comfortable, the shorter length didn't seem to matter. The chocolate wash is exactly as pictured; a really nice neutral color. My foot measures 9 1/2 in the stores, but I tend to always buy shoes that are 10 or 10 1/2 depending on the style. However, I have a pair of Keen Terradora that are 9 1/2 and extremely comfortable also.

I have these in 3 colors now. These are my go-to everyday comfort shoes. Great for dog walking and just about anything. The style is less feminine compared to a sandal but I keep reaching for these for the support and comfort. I have had several foot surgeries and can really tell when my feet are happy. I can wear these all day and never feel any discomfort. I normally wear a 10 or 10.5 and I found the 10 to be fine once I adjusted the laces. The soles are wearing down fast, though! Maybe they could correct this. I have the grey, olive, and pink in the washed canvas. Love them all!

I usually wear an 8 in sneakers and 7.5 in flats and sandals and the 8 fit perfectly. The 7.5 was too snug on the sides of my feet. I love that I can have a classic sneaker with great arch support. I haven't yet worn these for a long excursion, but they were comfortable for a day of errands around town. I got the charcoal color. It is a deep gray, but is probably the best color to go with everything. I only wish the off-white parts were a true white.

Really cute sneaker, with good arch support. They are actually more comfortable without my orthotics, than with them. As suggested, I sized up half a size.

My feet require good arch support (or plantar fasciitis sets in) and adequate room in the toe box. When I first bought these sneakers, the arch support was perfect for me but after a few hours wearing them, my big toes hurt. They are so cute and I was so disappointed. As the weather started warming up, I was again lamenting this purchase until I decided to try my superfeet insoles (a must for any shoe I wear for more than a few hours). I removed the wonderfully comfortable Taos insole and slipped in my superfeet insoles. Although I'd love a little more cushion, I was able to wear these sneakers during a recent travel day overseas with lots of walking in airports, train stations, and city streets. With the superfeet insoles, my toes have ample room and my arches are supported. The Taos very comfortable and supportive insole that came with the shoe will hopefully find a new home in another pair of my shoes. I wear a size 10 consistently and found these to be true to size although my foot leans toward narrow...I've been told it's a "low profile foot", so if your foot leans toward wide, beware.

Nice looking shoe, but seems narrow for my foot. I tried both a 91/2 and a 10 and still too tight.

Definitely order a half size up. I also agree they have good architecture support. Could use a but more cushion for us over 50. Love the chocolate color!

I wanted to love these shoes, I really did. However just walking around in the house with them for a couple of hours I realized they wouldn't work for me. I am looking for shoes for a European trip and these just did not have enough cushion in the toes to make it work for the amount of walking I would be doing. The style is cute a little on the narrow side but excellent arch support, just not enough cushioning.

Just tried these on for the first time so I cannot comment on how they feel after walking for long. I am a 6.5 M in most shoes and sneakers. These are a good fit, but will require some breaking in to soften up the fabric a bit. Taos sneakers are much more comfortable than Vans, but not as comfortable as a nice walking shoe. The footbed has a decent amount of cushioning with a bit of arch support. The toe box could use a little more wiggle room, but it's not so tight that it's unbearable. The sneaker is likely to soften and stretch with time. I don't think these would be a good choice for walking all day long, but they make for a nice casual sneaker for going out and about. The Olive color is perfect. I am likely going to buy more colors :)

I really wanted these shoes to work for me! They are cute, have great arch support, and reasonable cushioning in the footbed. However, even though I have very thin feet, I found I had to loosen the laces (and undo the last eyelet altogether) to comfortably get them on. Then, as I tightened and relaced them after getting them on, I found they were much more comfortable if I did not use the last eyelet ... but alas, then they were a little loose! All that, coupled with the fact that they feel pretty stiff on my wimpy feet means I will (sadly) be returning them. I am sure that those of you who do not have my foot issues will find them to be a great sneaker option!

super cute shoe and very comfortable padding. unfortunately i wear a narrow width and the shoe just did not fit

Esthetically, these are exactly what I was looking for but IRL they didn't work out. Bummer. If you are planning to remove the insole to use your own orthotic, these become very hard as the cush is in the thick insole. The canvas sides spread too and pinched my feet between them and the edges of my orthotics. Handsome little torture devices! The search goes on!

Shoe is cute and comfortable, except there is a seam in the fabric of the right heal. It is different than the left shoe. This will blister so they have to go back.

Love these shoes. Cute and comfortable. They rub a little on my heel my the arch support is great and plenty of room for my toes.

Loved the shoes. After reading previous I ordered size up. Had to return because shoe was to big
