Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Plim Soul

Cute shoe.

These shoes are co cute, I really wanted to love them but the arch support felt too long and stiff for my foot (felt like a stiff orthotic). It felt very supportive (my foot was not rolling inward as it tends to do) but unfortunately the arch support was not comfortable on the ball of my foot near the big toe. I might have eventually gotten used to the feel but as they are a bit pricey I could not take the chance so I returned the shoes. I have been looking for cute white canvas sneakers to wear with jeans and these were the best looking (in my opinion) but I will probably end up with Vans.

Very cute sneaker but too much arch support for my semi flat foot. Seems to run a little small.

Based on reviews here, I ordered up half a size. That was right! Size was long enough, arch support was good--but overall shoe was not comfortable on my feet. Heel came up uncomfortably high, and heel was too wide. Not enough padding in the sole for my comfort. Loved the look & color, but returned them.

Lovely shoe and the fit was ok. I ordered a half size up based on other reviews. Most people would find this shoe very comfortable but the sole was a bit too stiff for me in odd places.

Fit was good but sole is too stiff for me.

The material was not giving

Great shoe did need to return for half size up. Great arch support and comfort

The fit of this shoe didn’t work for me. There’s nice arch support, but it was too far front. The heel wasn’t too wide, but my heel kept pulling out of the shoe when I walked. The tongue/front laces was uncomfortably close to my ankle.

For me this felt 1/2 to full size shorter. Otherwise, cute shoe and nice support

When I first put them on I thought they were too small and the grey canvas stiff. There was also what felt like a hard "bar" in the sole in the forefoot. But they broke in quickly and the "bar" disappeared somehow. They don't feel too small, just snug, which is good for support. I have bunions, a high arch, and a narrow heel and, when laced up properly, they hugged my foot comfortably. I usually use an arch insert but not with these. I wore them to work where I walk a lot and felt only a small amount of discomfort at the end of the day because of my senior feet. I don't recommend them for a lot of walking, but they are great for other more casual days. Very cute!

Unfortunately these are too loose in the heel and have to go back.

The sneakers are really nice and fit pretty well. I have narrow feet and some issues with my right foot- plantar fascitis, tendinitis and arthritis. I need a comfortable shoe. The canvas is not soft so I have to wear socks. I'm still wearing them in the house to see if they stretch a little. They feel a little tight on the sides. I'm hoping they do. Overall these are nice but may not work for me. I'll give them a little more time because I really want them to work.

The Plim is a lovely shoe. It might have been a touch too big (long), but it was hard to tell as the tongue and lacings were too high and cut into my instep. I really couldn't walk around in them. Pity.

I’m so sad - I wanted these so badly but they have a very low, flat toe box. Unfortunately due to a botched foot surgery, I have bad hammer toes on one foot and the toe box of this style won’t accommodate my foot. I have other Taos styles that work but I wanted this gorgeous beachy color combination to take on vacation in April. I’m going to try sizing up and if that works I’ll amend my rating!

Too thin and almost no tread.

I ordered a size 10M. I received a 9 1/2M. It is too short. The size 10M fits perfectly. I'll be sending back in the morning. Hopefully you still have in my size. Very disappointing.

These are super comfortable sneakers with a really cushy insole. These shoes feel much better than completely flat sneakers that have no arch support. Do order a size up. The size up fits me well. I have had the shoes for two months now, and they are holding up well given how often I wear them. However, like on many other sneakers, the rubber of the soles look likely to peel away from the canvas where the ball of the feet flex. So I can see these shoes looking nice for about 1 year of extensive wear.

The top of the shoe box felt thin and a bit tight.

Loved the style, but the toe box was just too shallow and narrow. Since, for me the point of a shoe like this is comfort for walking, I had to send it back. A larger size would have been too loose in the heel, since my heel is narrow.

This is relating to the Black/Tan Multi color only. I own several Taos Plim Souls as well as a Z-Soul. All are wonderful. However, this color has given me a blister on my bunion which has never happened with my other pairs over all the years I’ve been wearing Taos. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the multi-fabrics or not, or with the fact that their black canvas is stiffer than other colors (so is white). I’m stuck with a shoe I don’t dare wear any longer, so off it goes to Goodwill. Bummer.

My perfect sized shoe model is the Moc Star. I tried this Star model in order to get a gray color, but unfortunately the heel width on the Star is wider than that on the MocStar and does not work for me.

The shoes fit well and and I love the look.

This is almost the perfect sneaker for me. I'm used to Birkenstock and Finn Comfort so the toe box was tight. Order 1/2 size up. I'm normally a 7-1/2 but needed an 8.

I liked the arch support and thought this was the pair, out of three choices, I would choose. But the heel slipped a little and the back edge felt stiff. I was afraid I would get blisters.
