My new favorite! I have to agree with other reviewers that this pair of shoes works for a variety of foot types. As someone with little to no arch, this shoe provided excellent support. The adjustable straps allow for the perfect fit. Definitely worth the price.

These were a really good fit for my wide feet with a high arch. The footbed was very comfy too. I returned them but only because I liked the other pair I'd ordered even more.

Delightful, right out of the box. And at the end of the day! I was afraid that the straps would cross over my bunion, instead the V in the straps cuts above and below the joint so it is very comfortable.

As a teacher and a mom, I'm on my feet all day. Naot is my go-to brand for dress shoes, but I was admiring a friend's Taos sandals and decided to check out the brand on Zappos. I was stunned by how comfortable these sandals were right out of the box! The leather is like butter. Really. I wear a size 6.5-7, and the 38 fits well. Straps can be tricky with a bunion, but these are perfectly aligned for my foot. My wardrobe is black, gray and navy, but the camel color is a great neutral that goes with everything. I just got back from Mexico where I was walking on unpaved streets, and these sandals supported my feet on rocky patches and uphill climbs. Worth every penny!

Fantastic! Wore these on 2 trips where there was a lot of walking with cobblestones. Wore them right out of the box. Like many others said, this works well for a wide foot and neuroma. Soft leather and adjustable strap, which is helpful when feet swell. Buying in a 2nd color.

I've worn these for 2 summers, walking miles on cobblestones in Europe. Last year I had the black, this year the camel. The camel seemed more flattering and stylish for me and worked well with summer clothes. The footbed is crazy comfortable and I wore them almost every day for a month with no problems.. My feet often hurt in other shoes, especially the ball of the foot, and these sandals have a great structure and padding to protect that area. They also do a good job camouflaging my bunions. I just wish they came in better colors - while the camel is nice, I think it would work better as a neutral if it was a shade darker. Metallics would also be great.

Really appreciate the firm arch support in these very comfortable, very adjustable sandals. I don't think they look orthotic or "old lady," and I have gotten compliments on them. Prefer to walk long distances in these, rather than sneakers in the summer. This is the third pair of similar Taos sandals I've owned. These have the hard sole, not flexible (I have flexible ones, too, but as I've gotten older prefer the firmer support). The footbed is absorbent, which is a necessity for me because my soles sweat a lot. I'm 63 yrs. old and active.

I bought the camel color this year for a month in Europe (last year bought the black). These sandals are insanely comfortable and I walked miles and miles on cobblestones right out of the box. I've got bunions and often have foot pain in the ball of my feet so I always look for the most cushy and supportive shoes. They are also flattering and do not look too much like "comfort" shoes. I found the camel color to be much nicer for dresses and summery colors than the black. I wish they also offered a little bit of a darker neutral.

This is a very pretty sandal. The color is not as dark of a blue as navy, more like a dark wash denim. The leather is very soft, and the adjustable strap across the toe area allows for a custom fit.

I love Taos. They are very well made shoes. They look great and feel great. I am always happy with a Taos purchase. They are a bit pricey but well worth it!

Beautiful shoe with very soft buttery leather, but could have been a bit wider and as some other reviewers have stated, the straps could be at least an inch longer for the Velcro to close easier. If you have a fuller foot or high instep, these probably aren’t for you.

The shoes fit perfectly and I love the style. I am concerned that they might stretch. I have the velcro straps as tight as they will go and the leather is very soft. Will update in a month or so.

I have a few pair of Taos shoes, they provide the support I need for my old, abused feet. These are very comfortable ( size nine, 40) and the grey color goes well with many outfits. We’re planning a trip to Europe and I bought them for walking.

These are wonderful sandals. In the picture, the stitching looked rather prominent, but it isn’t, which I like.

These are very comfortable sandals. The leather is soft. I like the cork footbed. It seems to comform to my foot. In closed shoes, I wear orthotics, but i can wear these all day without pain. The velco straps allow adjustment if needed during the day. This is my second pair of Taos sandals and not my last.

Sandal well made with tons of arch support. Leather is soft, but does rub top of ankle due to high arch. Hopefully this won’t prove to be an issue when walking long distances in heat.

Very comfortable sandal. I have a medium narrow foot and it seemed very wide at first, but I was able to adjust it with the velcro straps. I love Taos because of their great arch support and this sandal does not disappoint.

This is my second pair of this style. I love them. The most comfortable footbed of any sandal I’ve worn. I have very high arches and rigid feet, so it’s difficult to find shoes I can walk in easily.

I absolutely loved this shoe and loved the style but unfortunately, the left shoe squeaked so badly that I had to return them. Kept another style of Taos, which I didn't really like as well, but they didn't squeak!

I wear a US size 8 and therefore usually order an EU 38. Zappos had preselected a size EU 39 in this shoe for me and I changed it to a 38. Well, Zappos was right. These shoes must run a bit small because the 38 was too small. I exchanged it for a 39 and it was just right. These have excellent arch support for my flat feet. Taos is one of the only sandals that I can wear these days because most just don’t offer the arch support I need. These are stylish and comfortable. The leather is soft and comfortable on the feet. Nice adjustability both across the top of the feet and around the ankle. Recommend.
