Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Star Burst

Love the look. Well made and comfortable with no show socks. They fit and wear well. I have a narrow foot and these shoes accommodate. Priced high even for the quality.

I bought this style in Navy/Tan and also bought the Plim style. These are perfect. Between the two styles this one fits the best. The PLIM is making a gapping noise in the toe box when I walk, like it is too big. I may try them with a sock and see if that takes the noise out.I like them(Star Burst) because they have a lower cut around the ankle. The arch feels great. In a running shoe I wear a 9.5, in a dress shoe I can wear an 8. I bought a 9 in these and plan on wearing them without socks for summer. The length is perfect probably even if you wanted to wear a sock liner.

It was posted to add a half a size which I did and they fit perfectly. Very comfortable

Overall, I really liked these shoes. The style is great and they felt good except they were slightly too short. I suggest you order a half size up from your normal size.

I agree with the other reviews about having to go up a half size. I am normally 8.5. I have kind of wide feet can sometimes wear 8 wide. I ordered a 9 and it fit perfectly. Definitely size up by half.

They run a half size small, so order .5 size up from your normal. Super comfy and they don’t have interior stitching so you don’t have to wear socks.

Great shoe. Wore them all day right out of the box. Planning on buying another color.

Love these shoes!! I bought the red and may have to get another color!! I have had surgery on both feet and these are sooo comfortable. The support is excellent! Highly recommend!!

I love these shoes. They feel comfortable and look great!

I followed the advice of prior reviewers and bought these 1/2 size up. Good choice. They are just right! I have “problem feet” and need good arch support & simple style sneakers often end up being too flat for me. But these are perfect! I can wear them for a 6 mile walk on sidewalk/ street surfaces and feet still feel good. I expect they will be good for travel (sigh - some day again!) as they have a bit of a cute style but enough substance to feel good for a long day of city walking.

I love, Love, LOVE these shoes! They were perfect for me right out of the box. I normally wear a size 8, and my foot is on the wide side of medium, but not enough to buy wide shoes. These fit great and are so comfortable. The style is sporty, fashionable, definitely not clunky, and just really cute! My husband helped me choose these over a different pair which looked a little "heavier". I purchased the grey wool, SUPER cute, and am ready to buy another pair that looks a little more summery. Thank you, Taos, and Thank You, Zappo's.

I have a narrow foot & the size 9 was perfect. Up 1/2 size from normal shoes, same size as my running shoes.

The arch is very supportive. I agree with other reviewers: order a size up. I’m usually a 7W and the size 8 fits perfectly.

I love these sneakers. They have excellent arch support, but the insole is also removable (yay!) so I can easily wear them with my orthotics. My orthotics fit perfectly inside the shoe. I often have trouble finding shoes that fit me due to my high arches and instep, but these are so comfortable. Note that these do tend to run a little small--I originally ordered my normal size 8.5 but had to exchange them for a 9. Otherwise, these shoes are great and I highly recommend them to anyone who wears orthotics.

I love the Star Burst from Taos. Zappos delivered the next day! Wow. This shoe is so comfortable, right out of the box!

If you have slightly wide feet with arches, you have to try these. Better arch support than most sneakers! They are nice looking enough to wear to class (I like to dress nice for class), yet just as comfy as a Nike sneaker. I can walk all day on campus in these. Well worth the price. I already have two pairs and am saving money for a third.

I have so many feet issues. These were really supportive and helpful for my hammer toe issues but they really irritated the tops of my bunions. I even re laced them leaving the first two sets of eyelets unlaced like my podiatrist taught me but they still rubbed bad. Really sad because otherwise perfect and cute

I am very happy with this purchase. I normally wear 8.5. Took the advice of Zappos and ordered a 9. The shoes fit perfectly. Very comfortable. I recommend this shoe and will buy it again.

Cute sneakers with very good arch support. I was planning to replace the removable insole with an orthopedic one, but found it unnecessary--a welcome surprise! I like them so much that I just ordered another pair in black.

I read reviews and ordered up a half size and fit great. They are nice looking and the arch support is great in them.

After reading other reviews I went half a size up - definitely the right thing. I have narrow feet and these are a little wide but with the laces it doesn’t really matter. Excellent arch support and very comfortable. I have a pair of converse that just dig in the back of my heel - these have padding on the heel part and have much better insoles. Super cute looking - will look good with jeans or shorts.

I love these shoes! I’m glad I went with the recommendation of ordering a size bigger, they fit perfectly. Very comfortable, even when I’m on my feet all day.

The Taos Star Burst has a wonderful removable arch support. A cute looking shoe.

My feet measure a true 6.5 and are more on the narrow side of medium width. The length of these is works with a thin no show . If you are between sizes I d recommend choosing the larger size as these fit with not a lot of extra room at toe. I am happy with the quality and the structured feel of the shoe. I wore them for the first time with no breaking in issues. I was standing on concrete floor for 2 hours, there is minimal arch support. I don’t know that I would walk miles in these, but after breaking them in a bit I will give it a try before I rule it out.

These felt too large. These feel true to size.
