Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Z Soul

Loose in the heel tight in the side of toe. Cute style though

They have a very flat foot strike for me. I'm looking for shoes that I can travel Italy in and these are not a good candidate for me.

Really wanted to love this! The zipper is great, and good, cushioned support. Also, loved the floral pattern. But it was very slippy on the heel, as many other reviewers have noted. I knew this would cause blisters so I returned sadly.

Waited awhile. Was excited to get. Great looking but def heel slippage and good luck getting the zipper to work with your foot in the shoe. If they have wide I would try that but going up half size won’t help. Bummer. So cute.

Disappointed in the comfort. I have several shoes from this brand and this style is uncomfortable

Very cute shoes but, like other reviewers noted, the heel slips and is very low so rubs in a bad place for blisters and pulls down my socks. Wanted to like them but had to return.

Shoe is very well made and extremely stiff. Toe box is wide but oddly shallow. The tops of my toes rubbed the top inside the toe box. The shoe was plenty long enough, but the shallow toe box hit the tops of my toes. It might have broken in and been ok, but I didn't want to take the chance and not be able to return the shoes. These shoes have incredibly good arch supports, and they're cute shoes. I really wanted them to work, but am returning.

They're cute. Kinda heavy. Ended up deciding I didn't like the zippers - harder to deal with (they are stiff) than just lacing and tying the shoe. Will just get lace ups.

Love the look of these, but I couldn't get the zipper zipped - even with thinner socks. I ordered my usual M and am exchanging for a W to see if that works. I've never worn W in any other shoe.

I bought 2 pairs of these right before summer and thought they would be my new favorites that I would wear every day … however, somehow the more I wear them the more uncomfortable they are. They look great and seem to be really good quality BUT- the sole that came with the shoe was too thick and made the heel area too shallow like I was in slippers. I switched the soles for my own and that works fine. The width is good. The length is good. But the more I wear them the more they’re uncomfortable. I don’t know how to explain it except that I dread to put them on. I am holding out hope that they feel better in the colder months because during the summer my feet would feel so hot and swollen in them that I couldn’t wait to take them off. I’m sad because I really like them but now have to return the pair I haven’t worn yet. Bummer.

I really wanted to love these shoes, but they did not work for my foot. They are snug in the width but very loose in the heel.

I have wide feet and it's hard to find a good sneaker that fits. I faithfully wore my Plim Sole Taos for a year until there were holes in the sole. So, when I saw these super cute Z-Soul sneakers I immediately bought them in an 8W just like my Plim Soles. Where the Plim soles fit like a glove, these are too big. They are destroying my heels. I can't wear them without band-aids, which is super impractical for an everyday sneaker, and I really wish i could return them.

The fit felt too large and they are very flat . Couldn’t get a good fit with them I think they are cute and well made, just not for me.

Really really cute shoe. My big feet didn't look so big. However the zipper would not zip up easily on my foot. They were too narrow in the middle. Ok in the toe box and actually too loose in the heal area, but the middle was too tight. So sad to have to return.

Not enough support for my sensitive feet. The footbed is comfortable but as I walked around house I realized - it didn’t give me enough support! Love the shoe style very cute but needs support more like a running shoe!

Not a winner. Very tight/narrow.

The zipper, I thought, would make them easy to put on but no. The zipper was not very functional and was difficult to use. It's basically a decoration.

I love the style but have no idea how anyone can wear them! I wear size 6 in all shoes. These cute sneakers are so tight! I even tried 6.5 with same problem? I have other brands in size 6 all fine for my feet except this brand and The am so disappointed!

I love the look of these shoes, and they were very comfortable. My only issue was that my heel flopped up & down way too much. They would blister much too easily!

Beware my wider-footed sisters. I sometimes buy a wide, and sometimes a medium width shoe. I bought these shoes in an 8.5 W (my most typical size) and a 9 W, and both felt too tight in the toebox. Both are going back. Very cute shoes, but they're fairly stiff and I don't think they'd loosen up comfortably.

A cute shoe but rather narrow in the front of the foot. The inside seems rub

I wanted to love this shoe so much! But the heel slips A LOT. And I do not have a narrow heel. I tried wearing them around the house and within 5 mins, my socks were sucked down into the shoe and I could tell I would definitely wind up with a blister on my heel if I wore them for any extended period of time. So disappointed.

Love the style of the Z-Soul and the size and fit feels true. However, right out of the box, they are not comfortable. They feel very rigid and rub on my little toe when I walk. Don't want to waste time trying to break them in only to find out that they still hurt. Will be returning.

Unable to move the zipper!

I wanted to love this shoe and really liked the way it looked. But it was uncomfortable for multiple reasons--how hard the fabric on the seams felt and how snug it was in the toe, primarily. Plus it slid around on my heel. I have bunions and had ordered a 9 instead of my usual 8.5 hoping that would help make the shoe more comfortable but ... nope. I was hoping for something more stylish than the two pair of Altras that have become my go-to shoe, but this cutie wasn't it.
