Very comfortable. I did treat them with repellant to help keep them white & easy to clean. I love the easy on zipper!

I absolutely adore these shoes. Finally, a shoe that looks trendy and cool but offers support and comfort to my tired, middle-aged feet. I teach, so I need a shoe that allows me to be on my feet all day long. I am happy to report that these Taos fit the bill, and I going to buy another pair in a different color scheme. I normally wear a 9.5 in sneakers, and that is what I bought. I typically wear my custom orthotics with sneakers, but I haven't needed to with these. Bonus: lots of compliments when I wear them!

So rare that a "regular" shoe company makes a wide shoe that is TRULY wide. This one is. Great materials. The arch support is so good I don't need to replace it.

These were hard to get right in size. I followed reviewers and ordered a half size larger than my ususal 7 1/2 M. I also ordered a wide width, which I never have to. First order was a 7 1/2. Problem was my right foot is slightly smaller than my left and my left has a bunion. Felt great on my right but toes were touching on left. The width was fine in wide so no bunion rubbing. After a few days wearing in house a bit, they felt better until I put on thin socks. Hmm, what to do? So I tried the size 8 wide and also ordered the Plim Soul in size 8 regular width, which people seem to love. I hated the Pilm , despite good reviews. Size 8 regular width was fine, but the stitching rubbed my upper foot. Back to the Z soul. The 8 W felt slightly big without socks, but with socks fine as long as I pulled the ties tight. Zipper on left was a bit stiff but getting easier to pull up now. I was on the fence between the 7 1/2 W and 8 W. Ultimately I went with 8 wide because I can always wear socks and probably should! I plan on wearing these to Europe where I walk alot so my feet will appreciate the extra room. Cute style. Got the black with white soles. No rubbing anywhere. These definitely run small and narrow so size up. You have to unlace the laces a bit to get the zipper working but after you figure out how loose or tight to make the laces, no more worries, just zip on and off. Arch support is good. I have a pair of Hokas, and these shouldn't be compared to them. Different animal. These however, will look cute with dresses. Hokas are great, but lets face it. they look like clown shoes once on.

Super comfy, sturdy, balanced & absolutely cute sneaks! This Taos line has been consistent with sizing & fit for me. I wear a 10 W and now I've got 3 pair - all wonderful. I wish Taos had wide fit with more of their shoe lines.

Love these shoes! Not only are they cute, but they’re comfortable. I have wide feet, and ankle issues. I was skeptical, but I love them so much I ordered a second pair. I get compliments on them every time I wear them, and my feet don’t hate me at the end of the day.

Once I loosened the ties they fit like a dream. With socks or without. Definitely go to for causal wear. Not sure about long walking. I have a bad knee so will shall see.

Love this shoe. So cute with good support and lots of room for my toes. Only one negative, the green is not as lively as the photo indicated. It’s really more grey green, but still cute.

LOVED this shoe so much I need to get another pair since I wore it out. I'm recovering from that evil plantar fasciitis that has ruined my life! I work at a school and miss wearing dresses so this was my "compromise" of wearing something my foot "needed" vs. what I want to wear.

I love these. My only issues with Taos tennis shoes is the lack of structure in the heel and how they collapse like a sock if you try and slip into them when they are laced up. The zippers on this version solve that problem beautifully! I can get my shoes on and off at my friends’ places without a shoe horn or needing to relace.

LOVE these sneakers!!! So, so cute and very comfortable with great arch support. And the icing on the cake - once you tie them to fit your feet, you never need to tie again - just use the adorable zipper!! Easy, easy.

Love these shoes! I put them on the first time and wore them all day. So comfy. I have difficulty finding shoes that are comfortable for my aging feet. I can always count on Taos!

Cute, cute shoes and I love the fact that they make my size 10 foot look smaller. I haven't worn them yet for over 10 minutes, but walking around the house in them they felt very comfortable. Expensive, so not sure I can buy more, but do love the shoes!

Really comfortable and they look cute. For me arch support is important and these have what is good for my feet.

Definately order up 1/2 size. good for narrow feet since you can tighten the laces and use the zipper to get off

These sneakers are so cute, and fun! So many shoes with good arch support wind up looking like orthopedics, but these just look like cool skateboard kicks. I will get a lot of wear out of them.
I wear between an 8.5–9, depending on the shoe. These were much more comfortable in the 9, giving me just a little extra space. The 8.5s weren't small, just snug. If you don't need a little extra room in the toebox (like I do), your standard size would probably be fine.

I just can't express how thrilled I am with these shoes!! They are so adorable and so comfortable (be sure to wear with socks) Straight out of the box I put them on and they were so comfortable. I have narrow feet but they fit like a dream and have amazing arch support. I ordered two pair , solid and print, to choose from. But I'm keeping both!!!!!

The shoe is beautiful. The canvas material on top was very stiff and rubbed against the top of my foot. Shoe was true to size and felt true to width.

I can't even express how excited I was when I received these shoes and they fit so perfectly!! I have narrow feet and high arches. They were so amazingly comfortable from the get go!! I actually ordered two pair the green and the tan floral figuring I would decide which one to keep when they arrived. Well to say the least they were so cute and so comfy I'm keeping them both! They will be perfect for summer shorts, dresses or capris when I don't want to wear sandles. I absolutely love the zipper on the side!! They are so cute! totally worth the purchase.
