Love this shoe! Finally, a company that makes a 9 1/2 as a true fit! Has a bit of arch support, plus the fact that it's a high-top, makes it really comfortable for all day wear. Looks great with skinny jeans. A keeper, for sure. :)

I get compliments on these a lot. Very stylish and comfy. Sometimes the zipper (being on the outside of the shoe) is a little fiddly, but otherwise a very solid choice for a high top shoe.

These fit perfectly! When I first put them on, I could not get them zipped but realized that all I needed to do was untie them to get the fit right just like any other sneaker, tie them at the right tightness and then zip them up. You just need to make that adjustment once and then use the zipper to take them on or off. I have tried Taos sneakers a few times and have been in between sizes each time BUT not with these.
I wear an 8.5 to 9 depending on the width & if there is enough room in the toes to give my arthritis in my big toes enough room. I have slightly wide feet and the 8.5 in these fit perfectly. I initially bought the black because I’ve been loving the black high top look this season but I am returning them for now and may reconsider if I don’t find any other black high tops that I like better.
The creamy tan color is a different story. I asked my husband to buy them as my Christmas gift. I have enough tan/brown boots, booties, combat boots but I LOVE the tan, distressed color on these. It’s a pricey “want”, so I’m asking my personal Santa Claus for them.

I wear a 7 or 7.5 and the shoes fit perfectly. I love them. The zipper can be a bit tricky to zip up at times, but other than this , they are a great purchase! Super cute!

These shoes are so easy to put on since it has the side zipper especially with a thicker sock. They are very comfortable and I really like the style.

Beautiful shoes. I especially like the zipper, which makes on/off much easier. The toe is a bit tapered, ended up a bit too short for me. Toes bumped.

Great looking shoes. I especially like the zipper. Just a tad too short, since the toe box is slightly tapered, & I can only wear 11/42 when the toe is wide and round. Sorry, they have to go back.

Super cute. Runs narrow. Surprisingly for a Taos, there is very little arch support, and little heel cushion. Not suited for extended walking. I pulled out the Taos insert, and replaced it with one of my own, which helps a great deal. I'm happy to have this shoe for its look, but I would not recommend this shoe for extended walking.

I wanted to love them and I did until I wore them around my house for a bit. The aggressive arch support others have talked about is real but I could live with that. It was ok for me but there is no cushioning in the toe box area. After wearing the a little while what I thought was going to be fine ended up making my feet unhappy. Also they run just a little narrow. I sized up a full size.

These are very cute, they make your foot look small. I have long toes so the toe box is a little uncomfortable on my 3rd and 4th toe, but the arch support is incredible. I’d also prefer slightly more shock absorption in the heel. Really well made but will probably return.

I ordered these and the Taos Winners at the same time, in the same size. These felt a little cramped in the toe so I kept the Winners and returned these. The two styles are very similar but I would have preferred these with the slightly smaller white trim.

Love the style, but unfortunately the sole was uncomfortably thin, and the tops rubbed my ankles. Perhaps a larger size worn with thick socks would work, but I’m looking for a travel shoe for warm weather. Had to return.

I wear a size 11 in boots and these fit similarly and true to that sizing. I probably could wear a 10.5 as I often do in casual shoes, but it's a tough call. I loved these shoes but disliked how shiny they were.

I normally wear a 7.5/8 and ordered the 8. It feels like a 1/2 size small and narrow in the toe box. I wanted to love these but they just missed the mark.

This gorgeous shoe was really stiff across the ball of my foot. It was uncomfortable so I am returning them.

I liked this shoe. A little mod for a little old lady but I would have kept it except it was a bit much for my short patience span to deal with the zipper which was too stiff to work well, and too many laces to dal with! Also, the inside of this shoe could fit a man’s foot. Roomy. Young peeps shoe where style is more desirable than comfort. Not for a very elderly foot but the high top was perfect so at least I know what I’m looking for. Thank you, Zappos!

I loved the look and style of these, but I have bunions and need something pretty wide in the toe. I feel that for the cost, they don't have enough comfort/padding, and they are pretty stiff.

I wanted to love these. Size 10’a are usually a good fit and sometimes a little large, but these were super tight and uncomfortable. I also didn’t find them very supportive either. Sadly will be returning them.

These were incredibly tight and narrow. I loved the style but I could barely zip them up and my foot in not wide. they were also too shallow, I bought an 11 which is usually a little loose but I need the room.

I loved the look of these shoes. I ordered several similar styles from different brands, and this one was the standout pair. That being said these are some of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet. They are a full size if not two sizes small in the length, and extremely narrow. Sadly there was no way I was going to even attempt to keep these shoes because even if I tried sizing up they were still going to be extremely narrow. At this price point I want shoes that are going to look good and at least be moderately comfy especially being a sneaker style. These were not it. It was very disappointing as I truly loved the look of these shoes, and I have a pair of Taos boots which look great and fit just fine. If you have very narrow feet and like the style, try these.
