Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Plim Soul

This shoe has a very high insole which makes my foot tight up against the top of the shoe. I did not find it at all comfortable. The size 11 felt true to size. I also tried on the Taos Z Soul which was a completely different fit and much more comfortable.

Too stiff and narrow and a bit short for 7 and a half

Wide wasn’t wide enough. Wish an extra wide was available. They’re nice looking.

These are very rigid, don’t fit like my other Taos sneakers, and slip on my left heel.

Disappointed, these didn't feel wide at all and rub against the sides of my feet, was also shorter than usual 9's- probably need to size up but I'm worried sizing up will still have a width issue so I'm returning these. They do seem high quality however

Runs small - arch is very supportive - but the shoe is too stiff. It rubs my heel a lot when I walk.

I wanted to like these so much. I tried. I have high arches and picky feet and the arch support in these is sublime and hits in the perfect spot. However, the heel cup is too shallow so it slips up and down and I knew it wasn’t a “breaking in” thing for me. The tongue is also so long that it pokes in to the front of my ankle. I tried the leather first (which was much worse) and was hoping the canvas would give more but alas…back to ugly sneakers I go.

Love this shoe, but ordered 2 styles in 2 sizes each. Every one of them slipped in the heel when I walked.

Taos makes amazing sandals, but leaves a lot to be desired on their tennis shoes. The back of them is too thick and rubs the heels. If they were a little higher in the back, I don't think it would rub as you walked. Their shoes are so cute, I wish I could wear them.

Too much arch support for me. Too heavy

Very Heavy shoe, not vey wide toe box

The shoes are adorable! If they were at all comfortable I would have kept them. If you are looking for a shoe that offers any cushioning, this is not your shoe.

The style is cute but I’m still waiting for them to “soften.” They’re still quite stiff and uncomfortable after wearing them for several weeks. I bought them after seeing all the hype on Instagram; comfort was a big seller but for me, they’re not comfortable.

Ugh, I should have listened to the other reviewers. The sole is very stiff and heavy, the canvas is very stiff, and they slip off the heel. Plus, they squeak on the floor! Easy decision to return these.

Meh Agree with other reviewers: very firm canvas, heavy sole, and the bottoms squeak on hard floor like a choir of mice. They look great on my feet but that’s not enough for me. I’ll be returning.

Boy I really wanted to like these. I have many Taos sandals and love them. Read a ton of reviews about the Plim Soul athletic shoe. Read the description of the shoe. Re-read it was recommended by all to go half a size up. I did. And I got the wide width which is necessary for me. I have bunions flat feet and RA. So I don't mind spending more for shoes. And I research before I buy. These were a huge disappointment. So tight, narrow and short in length I could barely get them on. Even removed the inserts. There was no way I could wear them. Sent them back. Zappos as always is great to deal with and one reason I feel confident in ordering something because I know I can return if they're not right. I personally don't recommend this shoe.

So disappointed. The canvas was so stiff it would have given me blisters in a few areas.

I really wanted to love this shoe- the size and width were perfect, but the heel slipped with every step I took. Kind of like the heel cup wasn't high enough to enclose the top of my heel in the shoe. The other Taos shoes I ordered fit the same way, so this might be an issue with this brand.

These shoes are really cute. Unfortunately, they gave me terrible blisters. I ordered my usual shoe size and my heel moves up and down. I added in a heel grip to see if that helps. The arch feels like it's way too intense and not in the right spot. The left side of the ball of my foot feels like it's got weird pressure on it. I'm disappointed overall.

I've been buying and wearing these for years. What on earth has happened to this company? I ordered a new pair last month (sorry, but the soles of these wear out three times faster than the uppers) and the new pair is as stiff as a board, painful to wear. and squeaks so loudly that I'm embarrassed to wear them anywhere. This is more than a case of needing to wear them a few times to break them in. They have been my absolute favorite sneakers ever in the past, and I've recommended them to more people than I can count - even when I got a pair that wasn't correctly made I stayed loyal - and this is just a huge disappointment. I mean, the stiffness and squeaking is out of control ridiculous. What's wrong, Taos Shoes?

I ordered a half size up from my normal size 9, and they were still pretty snug..and stiff, i thought.

Even though I ordered a wide they were too narrow for my feet.

The right shoe rubbed my toe weird, but the left was fine. It was almost wide enough for my small bunion

Sadly they are too narrow, too stiff for my problem feet.
