Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Plim Soul

It was cute, but way too narrow. Had to return

The back of the heel is way too low, as others have said. And it collapses into itself when putting it on. I am returning these unfortunately. The arch support and comfort and adorable style were all incredible. They really need to fix the low heel in the back thing. Oh. And size 6 fit me and I almost always wear size six.

Very Stiff and not enough support. will be returning

The toe box was fine but the heel slipped up and down when I walked. Yet they weren’t too big. Just a poor design

Painful near toe and across the width of foot right below the toes. Made a terrible squeaky sound on hardwood floors. Returned.

This would have been my 3rd pair of Plim Souls, had they NOT been a full size smaller than my previous pairs - 39. I even ordered the wide. Nope, the shoes were too small. Too bad, back they go.

I chose Excellent Arch support because it was the only choice for Too High arch support. It was recommended to size up, but that made it too big everywhere but the length, Or maybe its a wide shoe to start with.

They were super uncomfortable.. Felt hard on my arch.

I will be returning these, unfortunately. They are a little bigger than a same size 9, similar style Taos shoe that I've had for a few years. There is a strange feeling of a grip or ledge under toes- almost like a Birkenstock sandal but not in the right place. The biggest problem though is that they make a squishing noise when I walk on a wooden or laminate floor!! The shoes went right back in the box when I heard that. It is very disappointing. There are also some sort of dusty finger prints on one of the shoes and on the box. There was no paper in one of the shoes and the laces are crumpled. They look like they have been sent out and returned multiple times.

I have two pairs of the Moc Star and love them. I hoped this would be even better, but it's going back. The canvas is stiff and rough, it's bulky and heavy and not at all comfortable. To top it off, the pair I received had been worn - a fair amount of scuffing and dirt.

Sooooo uncomfortable

Canvas was rough and stiff.

I had high hopes for these to fit well & be my new casual yet supportive shoes, especially considering the high reviews. But unfortunately they’re extremely uncomfortable! The top of the shoe feels very stiff & thick making them very hard to walk in. The canvas is substantial & probably would wear well and last, plus the arch has lots of support especially compared to other brands of similar shoes. But I’m returning them to continue my search!

I chose the Plim Soul over the Moc Star and similar designs b/c I liked the stacked sole and it felt like it had more stability. However, I'm having a hard time with the fabric upper being too stiff. I've worn them twice and they are not comfortable along the top of my foot. Wearing a Bomba no-show sock isn't enough (too thin) but if I go to something thicker like an athletic type sock, then the shoe feels too small. I'm really hoping they break in over time. Right now I can only tolerate wearing them on occasions where i do minimal walking. Disappointing as they are a very cute shoe!

the tongue is too high. Very uncomfortable.

The reviews made these sound amazing! NOT! They feel like stepping on cement soles. And they run small. If I size up 1/2 size and buy a wide, they fit, but they don't feel good. All 3 pairs, in 3 different sizes, are going back.

I read the reviews and ordered accordingly. The insole is INCREDIBLY THICK!!! THAT'S the reason for the too small size issue. If you take the insoles out, the shoes fit perfectly. But, then there is no support at all. It's the weirdest thing I've ever encountered in a shoe. Other than that, the shoe is darn cute but useless for me. :(

I first ordered one size larger as suggested in other reviews, but they felt big and made my feet look gigantic (the style of the shoes is a bit bulky). So then I decided to order my regular size which felt good when I first tried them. There is enough space between my big toe and the end of the shoe, so I decided to keep them. I wore them for the first time to drop my daughter to school and the canvas felt really stiff, but no big deal. Then I wore them to a small amusement park and by the end of the morning my feet were killing me. The shoes were rubbing against my little toes and heel really badly, and my big toe nail was rubbing against the canvas. I decided to wear the shoes without the insole (which has great cushion and it is fairly thick) and use some thin insoles instead, but I am still having problems. I think the main problem is how stiff and rough the shoe canvas is. It is a shame because I do like the design. I don't think I can continue wearing these shoes and unfortunately it is too late to return them. I hope I can find someone who can wear them.

Cute and fit ok, but just a little wide. Didn't like them enough to pay the price. Sorry!

I ordered these in two sizes: my normal size, and a half size larger. In my normal size, I couldn't even get the shoe on my foot. In the larger size, I got the shoes on, and they seemed like the right size, but the area under the toes is so hard! Why would they make the toe area so hard compared to the rest of the insole? It feels like wood. The canvas also has no give and there's not just a whole lot of wiggle room up front. My toes felt weirdly sore trying these on around the house. The shoes also slip off the ankle. These are cute to look at, but awful to wear.

I went up a half-size to see if they would feel better than what I usually wear, but the soles are still too stiff and my heel slips out of the shoe with every step.

Very uncomfortable with multiple points where it rubbed.The heel also slipped.

I love the Moc Stars but at the time of this purchase they did not make them in black. I bought the Plim Soul in 2020 and they still give me blisters. The canvas has barely softened. So if you have sensitive feet I would stay away from these and get the Moc Star instead. The material is way softer and broken in. I never had a problem with blisters. The look of the Plim Soul is great, just wish the material wasn't so stiff.

I have very wide feet and high arches. They were really cute and they didn't fit. Returning.

Not flexible at all. Felt off. Sent back. Stiff. Not a good fit.
