Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Z Soul

Had to go up a half size. Heavier than I’d hoped for packing.

I was excited to get these sneakers, stylish with good arch support. They felt good going on and for the first few steps. Then my socks disappeared into the heel. I tried thin socks and thicker socks and they all walked down in the heel. I have to return the shoe. In my opinion, Taos needs to use different fabric in the heel. The fabric is textured and grabs onto the socks. A smooth coating wouldn’t do that. Since others have noted the heel problem, maybe a redesign is in order. So sorry. I really liked the look!

Very stiff material. Looks great but felt too hard.

Very cute shoe, Taos has nice support. The problem is the zippers do not stay zipped. I have to re-zip several times per day.

These are really cute. They look great with jeans and several other color of paints. I ordered an 8w. They fit more like a 7.5 medium. I had to reorder an 8.5w. They seem to be very well made.

I loved the shoes but they slipped on my heels each time I took a step. Disappointed that they didn't work.

Wore for 2 days in a row without any issues. Very comfortable!

The shoe looks great in person and very well made. I felt it was too small for me, but on retrospect, I realized I should have undone all the laces, then zipped up shoe, and only then should I have tried to retie laces. It was late at night, and I just put them on and tried to zip them up. Uncomfortable on the top of my foot. Oh well. Don't want anyone else to make this (dumb) mistake. They look great otherwise!!

Loved the sneakers. Zipper was cool, but I had trouble zipping up. Style was great, but just not right for me now.

When I tried these on after lacing the laces, I could not fully close the zipper. I could close the zipper, and then use a shoe horn to get into them, but the point was to use the zipper to get in and out, and that just wasn't happening when I had them tied to fit. Plus, I was barefoot, and would prefer to use a thin no-show sock with them. That would make them just a bit too tight. But I can tell the arch support would be good, and they are super cute - love the gray color, too. Sure wanted them to work, but no bueno.

I really wanted to keep these shoes. The design is terrific - LOVE the zipper - and the materials and quality all seemed good. The arch support was adequate, but not aggressive. The problem? Despite the length and width being spot on, the shoes slid up and down my heel with every step - a sure invitation to a blister after awhile. Couldn't justify keeping them. Back to the drawing board, Taos!

Super cute shoes. I wish they would have worked out....the insert offers a decent amount of suport for the arch in some places but the sole of the shoes is just so hard and stiff. I need way more support and cushioning. Cute style, though! I love the zipper on the side!

Cute and comfy, but squeeky!

I have this style in a few colors and they're very comfortable and I wear them on a regular basis. I really wanted white, and the size and fit were fine, but they're very stiff (heavier canvas?) compared to the original sneakers. Not comfortable at all.

Always a 9 in Taos, these were a bit larger than usual. Love the style though, so am keeping them with plans to wear a little thicker sock. Am afraid if order a half size smaller they will be too tight.

Beautiful shoe! The shoe has excellent arch support but my heels were slipping out. The smaller size was good in the heel but the toe box was too small.

Not much support in the footbed. I am a little surprised. I usually love Taos footwear. I had to return.

I had hopes for these shoes as they had a cute zipper and came in wide. Unfortunately they weren’t wide enough, it was a struggle to zip them up :( Super cute shoes though!

I thought it was leather but these are canvas and run a little larger.

Love this brand and was super excited for this new style. Always hard when I cannot try on both sizes. I did return them for now but will order the 1/2 size larger soon for sure.

These didn’t fit in length or width although I ordered a wide in addition to my usual Taos size. I’ll return and order the Plim in wide . I like them better anyway.

I love Taos shoes and boots. Unfortunately, this pair is uncomfortable because of the lack of cushioning. A cute shoe with a side zipper.

Shoes are so cute but I couldn’t get a good fit. I tried the 7.5 but it squashed my toe. The 8.0 was loose in the heel and rubbed. Admittedly, I have hard to fit feet. Disappointed these didn’t work for me.

I have other pairs of Taos tennis shoes. These initially felt tighter-at least the fabric-not the shoe itself. This caused the heel to slip initially, but after the first wear, they felt the same as my other pairs; the heel doesn't slip. They are comfortable and cute. I have not mastered how to hide the bow of the laces, so I tie mine traditionally, but the zippers are super convenient. I would buy them again, and I would recommend them.

Super cute sneaker but too small overall. I have other Taos shoes in 9.5 that fit just fine so I'm might try the 10.
