Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Plim Soul

Great looking sneakers! Really poor arch support. And these shoes are very heavy compared to similar styles/brands

These shoes are so cute and fit true-to-size. Unfortunately, I had to return them as they are too flat a show for me. If you need more support and some heel elevation, probably not the show for you. If you can wear a flat show, they are cute!

I loved the look of these shoes. The length and width were just fine. But they were uncomfortable as they had no arch support, and in fact, felt like i was walking on a board.

The style is nice and the arch support seemed very good. As other reviewers have posted, it felt narrow through the side and toe area and the soles squeak very loudly on hardwood floors. Returned.

Really cute shoes but to get them long enough, I ordered the next size. Unfortunately, the tongue cuts into my ankles in front. Hurts. Returning. The support on these feels perfect. I wish I could wear them. I have very painful feet if the support is lacking.

Love the look and style of these shoes and the variety of colors. Arch support is good. They run narrow. The wide is not available in the color I selected. I'll return these and try a wide in another color to see if there is a difference. While the Plim Soul sole is deeper than the Star sole, they are not especially cushioning. They are kind of stiff. Kind of clunky. The flat bottom kind of slaps against the ground rather than allowing the foot to roll forward. They would not be a good travel shoe. They would be comfortable enough to wear for any length of time, or for walking any distance. With some design changes, these would be great shoes. Thanks to Zappos for being such a great company to let us try on and to compare, to keep the best and return those that won't work.

I want so bad to keep these shoes. They are so cute and pretty comfy but they slide up and down on my heel. I read reviews and they said to order a 1/2 size up (which I did the 1st time) so I thought that’s why they were sliding. I sent them back and got my true size (8m) and they still slide. After investigating the shoe, I think it is because the insole is so thick that my foot doesn’t go far enough in and it doesn’t hold my heel down far enough. I really hate it! I’m going to have to send the 8 back too.

Cute but no arch support and oddly wide in the back heel so had to tighten laces almost uncomfortably to get them to stay on properly in the back.

The width and arch support were great but the shoe rubbed on my heel hitting one of my problem areas, so I will be returning.

These are very nice, but did not work for me. They were not comfortable on my feet. I seem to only be able to wear certain brands and unfortunately this isn't one of them.

I loved the style of these, but just didn't find them comfortable. I think my feet aren't designed for this style of shoe. I'm a 7.5 and the first pair I ordered was a 7.5. Couldn't get my feet in them. Exchanged for a size 8 and they still felt short and narrow. Ended up returning the 8 and I've given up. Wish they had worked out because they are super cute.

These are super cute. But, if you have low arches or flat feet, the arch support is painful. Way too high. I stress, they are really cute. Unfortunately not good for my feet.

Love how these look, but they are so uncomfortable, and when I step, the crease along my toe joints digs into my feet and hurts. Super disappointed.

I wore these shoes twice for a short walk and both times I ended up with a blister on my heal. I like the look of the shoe and excellent arch support.

Very stiff canvas. The arch support was good but my heel kept slipping out with every step. Was not a keeper.

Should've gotten the WW. My left foot is wider than my right. I'm usually a 91/2 in shoe size sometimes 9 or 10 with brand thus was a 9

I wanted to love them. They were so cute! But they were SO narrow across my foot - and I don't have wide feet, they're actually rather narrow to begin with. No way could I have worn socks of any kind with them. And the arch sits too far back toward the heel, the pad of my heel was sitting on it. I used to love the fit of Taos shoes but if this is typical I have to find another brand.

I normally wear a size 8 shoe. I couldn't fit my foot into these tennis shoes-which is too bad since they are cute.

This is a classic and well-made shoe. I am disappointed that the wide is not wide enough. I need a width of D, not E, and the toe box is not even wide enough to accommodate a D width. Why so stingy with allowing room at the widest part of the foot? Why must Taos be such a narrow brand?

I have purchased the Taos Star multiple times and always ordered a 9.5 which fit really well. I'm normally an 8.5 or 9, so ordered a 9 in the Plim Soul. It was too long and too wide in the toe box and my heel slipped in the back. They looked like clown shoes on my feet. Will return an reorder my tried and true Stars.

First time trying this brand and I am really disappointed! I had high hopes given the arch support of the removable insole and the quality materials. But these were NOT comfortable. They were pretty stiff. Love the color and style. Returning.

My heel slips out when walking. I've NEVER had this happen with any shoe I have worn. The width and length are good but for some reason my heel comes up when I walk. I don't want to return for a smaller size as they will be too short in the toe. Very nice shoe however. I may try them a few more days inside but I can't imagine this getting better. I do have socks on with them

Arch support is good, but there is no cushioning in the ball of the foot. Disappointed.

I like the style of these sneakers, but they were not comfortable for wearing as a walking shoe. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of bringing these on vacation as my walking shoes through the city. My feet hurt the entire trip. The sole is pretty thin and the arch support too much to the point that it takes up a lot of space in the shoe, so not a lot of room for your foot to expand when walking. Note that I have slightly narrow feet. I put in a less supportive insole to make them more roomy and will continue to wear these for casual living.

It was snug across the arch
