fit was good, 10 reg width. maybe a little tight on my right bunion but can use shoe stretcher to soften. I have been wearing 9.5 W in the moc star and it is very roomy.

I have high arches so until purchasing these was unable to wear casual sneakers. These are fantastic- fit my medium-wide foot and provide good arch support. Love the flower design and bright colors. Only complaint is that zipper on left foot wasn't sewn in perfectly so there is a small gap at the top.

These were very small; I normally wear a size 9 with no problems but these were at least one size too small!

Loved the shoes. So comfortable. The pattern was great. Do you not like the laces so I am replacing them.

Cute and comfortable right out of the box with no break-in time. I was looking for a canvas sneaker with a bit of arch support and that I could wear comfortably without socks, and these fit the bill perfectly.

I ordered my regular size per recommendations, and they felt almost a half-size too small to me. I should have ordered a half-size bigger to begin with as I have a pair of Taos slip-on tennis shoes, and I had to go up in size on those. I've ordered the next size and hope they fit as these are SO CUTE.

The fabric was a bit stiff. Very cute shoes though. They will need a few days to break in.

I loved the idea of having a zipper and the laces. My goal was to use the zipper when putting shoes on but the zipper is so hard to pull up once you get the shoe on I decided to return them and get a true slip on sneaker. I did love the style, color and look of the shoe but didn't want to deal with laces.
I also felt the arch support was ok, but under the ball of the foot and toe area could have used more padding.

Taos usually fit me rather well and I especially love the arch support for a canvas shoe. This is my second pair of Taos and I love this sytle.
Reminds me of a court shoe which is very in style now!

I wrote a review with a 5 start overall rating I would like to take back. I love the style and color of the golden tan and wish they fit well, but there is too much slippage in the heel even when wearing socks and tightening the shoe laces. The insole has nice contouring but is hard and rough. The stitching (seam?) hit where I have a slight bunion on one foot and felt tight and uncomfortable, but there was excess width everywhere else. Love the style and can't find a replacement but these are not made for my feet and I returned them.

I might have kept but the zipper was stiff and I was afraid would break.

First off, the heel slippage is a problem BUT it is because the insole is very thick especially in the heel. I removed it and replaced it with something else and they were fine, no slippage. Second, I got the golden tan color and it is brown. I wish it was really golden color but it wasn't, also the canvas was brushed, kind of fuzzy. Due to the color and fuzzy canvas I sent them back. I may try another color and hope the canvas isn't fuzzy.

Extremely uncomfortable for a high-instep. There is no give in the laced top to accommodate my foot, and I could not close the zipper. Arch support is decent but useless if you can’t wear the shoe. It’s like they only considered support without considering the top of the shoe has accommodate a supported (raised) foot. Tried two colors. The white shoe was even tighter than the blue shoe. Both went back.

I ordered the golden tan, they are straight up brown. They are also a canvas sneaker but somehow are a brushed/fuzzy material. The insole is really thick especially at the heel which is why people complain of heel slippage. They slipped in the heel for me too but were fine when I switched out the insole. I love the style, fit and comfort so may order another pair in a different color.

People with normal arches SHOULD NOT purchase these shoes. It feels like someone stuck a golf ball in the bottom of the shoe. So uncomfortable!

As soon as I tried these on I realized I'd need to send them back. I bought the same size I wear in the Taos slip on shoe, but that was a mistake. I needed to size up in this style by at least a half a size. These do not fit true to size.

I wanted these shoes to work for me. With the insole I couldn’t get my foot in the shoes. (High arches). I removed the insole the shoe hurt the back of my heel. The shoe isn’t “soft” or flexible.
