I really liked this Taos Star Burst, but I returned it to purchase the Taos Moc Star instead since I could not get this one in white at the time. The beige/tan one was nice looking, but I'm not one to wear cream colors and that's how it looked to me. I did think it might be better since it wouldn't show dirt so much, but I had white sneakers on my mind when I started looking. As with all of the Taos sneakers I've purchase and tried so far, it was comfortable and supportive right out of the box.

I am usually a size 7 and purchased a 7 1/2 based on reviews. With socks I needed an 8. They are a very cute style and do have support. I am going to try an 8 in the red which I think I'll wear more than the navy.

Really cute sneaker. Love the color. Good arch support for a shoe of this style. Unfortunately they were a bit too small. I normally wear a 9, sometimes a 9.5. I ordered 9.5 and they are too small in the length. Exchanging for a 10.

I ordered 1/2 size larger and it fits perfectly. I like the shoes. They are a little stiff but hope they soften up with wear.

I loved the arch support, but felt the shoes were a tad rough on the top of my foot, particularly when I stepped forward each time, so I returned them.

I've so far just worn these in the house, since spring turned to winter again in my locale. But I think I'm really going to enjoy having some fun shoes that also feel good on my aging feet. Ordered in 2 sizes and ended up with my normal size. With Taos sandals, I go down a size, but these are perfect in a 10....and they don't look like boats, which I like! ;)

I'm usually 8.5 but this 9.0 fit perfectly. Unfortunately, my one toe has an issue so couldn't get the shoes. LOVE them - style and fit.

I usually wear 8.5 but this was too small. I would recommend going up half size.

LOVE the shoe - fits great at toe (wide) and heel (narrow). Unfortunately, I have an issue with one big toe and it was not comfortable in the shoe. LOVE the shoe on the OTHER foot -

I really like this shoe. The removable insoles were almost as good as my Sole inserts but not the firm arch support I need. The only reason for returning is there was no perceptible differential between the back and front of the shoe. I liked the look, style and fit.

This is my 4th pair of Taos Star--this time I bought the Star Burst and am enjoying the richer navy for winter, rather than the denim color of my other shoes. The fit and comfort are excellent for me. I have on a pair all the time, as someone just pointed out to me. :-) I wear 9 1/2 in most shoes but the 10 is perfect for me. Highly recommend this sneaker.

These are some great looking sneakers! If you aren't accustomed to Taos, expect some hard love for your arches. These are not pillowy shoes but are designed to support you in the best way. I stand at work and these keep my feet from collapsing in over the day, are great for walking breaks and transition well to date night. I kinda want them in every color but really love the deep red with white laces.

This is my 3rd pair Taos. I have clogs in a 36 and the Star sneakers in a 6. These fit the same as the Star. They are a typical size 6. Arch support is great for my plantar fasciitis. My only complaint is the red is a little darker than I expected. Taos is one of the few brands of shoes with enough arch support for me. Love them!

This is my second pair of Taos Starburst shoes. Previous reviews suggested buying a 1/2 size up from your normal size. I do that and they are marvelous. I would love to have a pair in every color.

Super comfortable! I bought them for my vacation but it was supposed to rain the whole time, so opted to take my leather sneakers. However, They were too comfortable to send back. And super cute!

Love Love Love These Shoes! After a disastrous day at ACL with the wrong shoes that gave me major blisters, I bought these and they were 100% comfortable out of the box. No seams at the heel to rub and ride low enough not to rub my Achilles. And they are SUPER cute - even my “cool” nieces gave them the thumbs up. I did buy the 9’s based on Zappos and reviewers suggestion so they fit my normal 8.5 perfectly!

I typically wear a 6 1/2 or 7, and based on other reviews ordered a 7. Perfect fit! These have a nice arch support and are super comfortable right out of the box! I will definitely order these again!

This is my 4th pair of Taos sneakers. I was so bummed when my dog chewed the toe off my ivory pair, but then it gave me an excuse to order more in another color :) These fit well, and provide enough support to my flat feet that I can walk all day in them. I have to alternate shoes every day or my feet hurt no matter what I'm wearing. This pair, when it's in my rotation, is great!

I typically wear a 6 /12 - 7, and I ordered a 7; they are a perfect fit. Super comfortable right out of the box, the toe box is roomy for my bunion, and the style is very cute. Very happy with these shoes!!!
