I immediately loved the gray " lacy" slip on tennis shoes. I am wearing them told ay: light weight compared to Vans, and the 7 or EU 38 is my perfect size in these. Sometimes I wear a 6 1/2 but a 7 was just right. I want the blue floral and am on a wait list . I am going to Spain/Portugal for three weeks and someone else said they were the perfect shoe.

I bought these for a trip to Europe and they were 100% awesome. I did use the hidden socks to avoid rubbing. I was on my feet in them every day and they were the most comfortable shoes I have ever traveled in. I would absolutely recommend them. Completely with the investment.

I'm sliding on my hardwood floors. The bottom of this shoe is slick. Does it get any better? Just took them out of the box.

I was looking for some easy slip on shoes for errands and the like and these are perfect. They aren't the most supportive shoes, nothing can really beat athletic shoes there, but they have some impressive arch support. I bought a half size larger than I would normally after reading other reviews and they fit perfectly

Sized like my running shoes. I wear a size 9 nike running shoe, and either 8.5 or 8 in dress shoe. The 9 in these shoes fits well.

I have been searching for this style of shoe with actual foot support. I am so happy with the Dandy. I have had a knee replacement and previous issues with plantar fasciitis. These shoes have great metatarsal arch support combined with the look that I want. Perfect for me!

I love Taos shoes (usually) but this slip-on sneaker just did not have the comfort and arch support I've found in other Taos styles, so was returned.

I really liked these shoes! They have a slimmer profile than Vans (which I liked), they're not as heavy as Vans, and the color is good for summer. Unfortunately there were half a size too snug for me and Zappos didn't have 8.5 available so I had to return. Fantastic arch support for those with high arches! Probably would be annoying if you don't have a high instep.

I'm usually a solid size 8, but should have ordered an 8.5, as my Taos Moc Stars are 8.5s but I forgot to check. These are fairly narrow too, but I'm giving a try with shoe stretchers to make them work. These are really cute, and would be quite comfy if sized right. They fit my narrow heels, but are tight across the ball of my foot, especially the foot that tends to have a bunion.

I usually wear an 8 1/2 but this shoe is a bit smaller which required me to buy a size 9. I had to wear this shoe in the house for 2 days before deciding to keep it. I love the look but it was a bit stiff and seemed to rub on a bunion when I wore a little thin low cut sock, but when I switched to a low cut athletic cotton sock, which is thicker, the shoes became much more comfy. I think they have softened up too as I’ve worn them around the house, so I am much happier with them now and look forward to wearing them outside this summer.

Love the styling and comfort, but I need to return these because they are too narrow. I have not had this problem previously, but these are just too narrow on my feet to take advantage of their other comfort features.

Nice looking, well-made canvas slip-on. The white strip on the outside is much thinner than for many other slip-ons in this style (including the Taos Rubber Sole, and Vans of course) and if you are looking for something sleeker, this may work for you. The Dandy also runs smaller than the Rubber Sole, and was visibly shorter. It was too small for me in my regular size. But can we talk about the arch support?!? There is an easily removable arch support insert that is as nicely made, and as supportive, as a separate insert you can buy at a running store. Wow. You could probably take it out and put in your custom orthotics in your regular size if you wanted. Very impressive.

I wanted so much to keep these shoes. I like the style and sizing up a half size (7 to 7.5) ensured a good fit without socks. But the arch support is more than my feet could take, so I had to return. Great casual shoe for someone who needs the support, though.

I usually wear 6 1/2 to 7 depending on style, so I ordered these in 7 based on reviews. Disappointed that they were still a bit short in the toe since they were so comfortable & I really wanted a canvas slip on. Sadly, had to return, but ordered the Moc Star in a 7 1/2 instead. Love Zappos return policy.

It's a great shoe! I just need it to be a 10.5. I'll keep it because it's so comfy, hoping my big toes will stretch out the fabric as I wear them. A bit more room in the toe box would have helped. Or a half size bigger.

I ordered a 9.5, my normal size, and it was way too tight and short. I wanted to exchange for a larger size; however, the same color was not available.

I have 2 pair of Taos sneakers (Retro Star and Moc Star) and a pair of Taos sandals. My usual size 9 is a good fit in the sandals, but I had to go up to a 9.5 in the sneakers. I ordered both sizes in the Dandy and the 9.5 was a better fit. The khaki color is a versatile warm neutral color. Unfortunately, the Dandy was uncomfortably tight across the top of my foot so I returned both pair.

Love the great arch support and cute eyelet fabric styling. Just a little worried about propensity of white to get dirty, and have sprayed with fabric protector for possible help. Very comfortable w/ bare feet in hot Las Vegas temps.

I really wish that these shoes worked for me. Due to the arch support in these babies, it really made the size difference in my feet that much more noticeable. One foot found nirvana while the other had the arch support in all the wrong places while the heel perpetually slid out. A huge bummer, because these are adorable shoes, and my one foot found them to be incredibly comfortable.

THIS IS A DANDY SHOE. I ORDERED IT BECAUSE I NEEDED A SHOE WITH EXTRA ARCH SUPPORT TO WEAR AROUND THE HOUSE. THIS ONE WAS GREAT, BUT EVEN WITH EXTRA INNERSOLES TO TAKE UP WIDTH IT STLL WAS TOO WIDE AT THE HEEL.
