Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Z Soul

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.

Very disappointed it did not work for me. Such a cute shoe!

Sad to say… but not comfortable! Such a cute shoe!

They were not as comfortable as my Taos Star.

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.

Great looking shoe but the seam lands at the wide part of my foot and hurts.

Super cute but runs small. I always wear a 7 and these were too short. Returning and ordering a 7.5

The style is very cute. Moderate arch support, but no cushioning which is a no-go for me due to metatarsal pain and the need for cushioned insoles.

Love the zipper- so easy! Not as comfortable as I was hoping.

Shoes are not very comfy and feel very heavy on my feet. Not what I was hoping for!

I ordered a wide but it was still a bit tight. The fabric of the shoe felt very stiff, and the heel was rubbing a bit. Love the look and style of this shoe, and disappointed it didn't work for my foot.

This shoe had a really weird extra lump near the arch. Too bad. They are adorable.

I bought the wide width. The width at the front was barely wide enough, and the heel was also wide. So, I walked out of the back of the shoe. They just didn’t work for my foot shape.

I really liked the looks of this shoe, but the arch support of the shoe did not line up with the arch of my foot. They are stiff, but they might become more flexable with wearing.

Shoes were short and need to be sized up half a size to fit comfortably.

I really wanted this shoe to work - liked the style of this shoe! Great color and the arch support felt great. However, my back bothered me after wearing them for an hour or two. Perhaps I need more cushion in the sole than this shoe has.

Very cute shoe! I usually find Taos to be very comfortable with good support. Unfortunately, these weren’t comfortable at all and the zipper was very stiff. Back they go.

Looked great, but was very stiff and heavy. Not comfortable for me.

They are a bit stiff but I would have kept them had it not been for the bump on the inside against the side of my foot on one shoe. Very uncomfortable, painful even. But even without that, for the price, they should be more comfortable.

Somewhat comfortable, but a bit bigger than other similar shoes. Plus, a big distraction/disappointment, is that the zipper on one shoe doesn’t stay put. Opens up halfway when walking. Not good. Looking to see if can get an exchange.

I liked the look of these shoes but my heel slipped every time I took a step. I'm sure if I would have kept them, I would have big blisters
