Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Plim Soul

I guess beauty really is in the eye of beholder because I think these are ugly. I didn't realize they are canvas not suede(like) and that is my fault but they look so different in person. I usually wear 9.5 or 10. Because of the reviews I got 10 and they are too big. I know this doesn't help if you are trying to decide which size to get but I can only tell you what I experienced. They seem like they have much better arch support than most sneakers. The best way I can describe them is "clunky."

Toe box was very, very shallow. Color was way more green than it appears in the photos. I would call them evergreen and not teal. I wanted to like them, but these 2 issues were deal breakers. Returning.

Love the style! The fit just wasn't quite right.

The material is on the stiff side, but it is fabric. The interior stitching hit me right on my bunion so didn't even try on the other shoe.

I have the identical shoe in a different color but this pair seems to be defective. It is stiff and uncomfortable, and the rubber soles squeak really badly. I didn’t have these issues with my other pair and would still highly recommend this shoe for anyone with bunions and/or flat feet. The support is excellent and very roomy in the toe box area. Disappointed that the quality of this pair isn’t consistent.

I love these shoes! Unfortunately, I had to return them because they were just too tight. They don’t come in size 12 or 11-1/2 so I have to pass. I can’t usually wear a flat shoe like this because of my boat sized feet, lol, but these are really cute on. Also, they did that flipping off my heal thing as I walked so I’m not sure if they would work in a bigger size anyway. But I would recommend them. They’re really cute and have a great arch support.

These are adorable and the soles have great support, but they’re incredibly stiff and the backs are tearing up my heels. I’ve been trying to break them in for over a week and today they actually tore holes in the blister pads I was wearing to protect my skin. If I can get them broken in, they’ll be great city walking shoes because of their style, but it’s going to be a painful process. I probably won’t buy shoes from this brand again.

This is shoe is darling and I wanted to love it. My daughter has a pair and recommend them. The shoe was too uncomfortable. Fabric, seams and lace eyelets all rubbed my feet. My heel slipped. Pads didn't help. I returned them.

I was super excited to get these, but sadly I have to return them. I really wanted to keep them but could tell they just wouldn't be comfortable enough. I have plantar fascists and right now my feet are a problem. I have to wear orthotics and it is extermely hard to find shoes with support that are comfortable and also cute. These are great quality and the built in orthotic was really nice, but my foot felt too snug in these. It wasn't in width, but in the top of the shoe. I took the insole out and put in my own orthotic thinking that might be more comfortable, but then it felt like the back of the shoe was going to rub on my heel as I walked around the house in them. I was also bothered by the tongue of the shoe being too close to my ankle, it was odd. Other than my issues, the shoe was so cute and I loved the grey wash color.

I usually take a 10 in athletic shoes and that is what zappos recommended but my toes were bumping right up against the edge of these. They also felt very narrow. Really cute shoe though, sad to return!

The insole is so hard and stiff I don't think they'll ever be comfortable. They're going back.

It keeps slipping in the heel.

Hurt my daughter's heel/ankle. Perhaps because they are low cut.

I liked the color (blue) and the fit was okay but they are going back. The toe box looks unusually long to me. They are well made, the style just didn't work for me.

I tried the Taos Plim Soul, Star and Star Burst and ended up getting the Teva Freewheel. I am a true 7.5 and all 4 pairs were sized .5 too small. The Taos had a stiffer insole but because of the height, I barely had room for my toes in the toebox and could feel it rub through socks.

Super cute but like most sneaks, stiff and uncomfortable. Returning.

I have a couple of pairs of Taos sneakers and I couldn't even fit my foot in these. Same size as other styles that I ordered in this purchase.

I'm a size 10.5, and after I read the reviews, I ordered up one half size to an 11. Perfect fit. Cute style, definitely has comfy arch support, but the padding at the heel was much too stiff (and I am not a fan of that kind of excess rubbing against the back of my heel!). Sadly I had to return this pair. Bummer.

Love the look and well constructed. Comfy when I put on, but after a short while forefoot felt cramped.

Fit true to size, look a little cute and a little clunky. Wanted something I could pull off with skirts but these are not feminine enough. Also bought for the brand, know them to be conscious of cushion and support. These are only slightly better than generic canvas shoes so still not enough cushion and support or me.

I previously ordered the Plim Soul in my usual size 7 but had to return it for the 7.5. This was a better fit for my foot length, and many other reviewers have recommended sizing up. I added a thin foam inner sole to add some cushion because the Taos footbed was not soft at all. However, the arch support was a bit too high for my instep and was not really comfortable for walking long distances and standing for hours on my upcoming vacation. Thanks, Zappos, for the easy return.

I think they are very cute and sturdy, but my toe was hitting the front. Sorry they have to go back.

Nice shoe- just not for my feet

I so wanted these to work, since they were so cute. But the 9.5 was too small and pinched my toes, while the 10 (I never wear a 10) was too large, and the heel slipped when I walked. Back both pairs went.

I had high hopes for these sneakers as everyone raves about them, but I just couldn’t handle the arch support. It felt strangely hard and lumpy. I didn’t think I would be able to wear them long enough to see if the insole would break in and conform to my foot. The black tropical print was really cute too.
