Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Z Soul

Fits well. Very Cute. These are not walking shoes and by that I mean would not be suitable for an all day excursion of walking in the city. The arch support is good but that's it. There is hardly any cushion in the ball of the foot and heel. And mine make a squeaking noise when I walk!

The end of the zipper rubbed on my toe. Overall felt a little narrow.

This shoe is uncomfortable. It is stiff and the back is short - it didn’t come up high enough on my heel to be secure when walking.

Well, the zipper on the left shoe consistently fails while walking. Have tried several times to adjust the laces with no ling-term success. Very frustrated and disappointed. And doesn’t seem can return since they have been worn. Again, quite disappointed.

I wanted these Taos Footwear Z-Soul to work as they are so incredibly stylish.. Regrettably, they are just not comfortable and are very heavy and I can't imagine walking more than 15 minutes in them

The fit was only narrow in the toe box - the upper left side of my toe rubbed a bit on the inside of the shoe. Also disappointed that the heel slipped in the back. Cute style though. Just not comfy.

Cute and good fit, but this style is heavy and stiff. Laces were also too long, so I ended up with a big, floppy bow or long ends to tuck inside (which isn't comfortable).

These are cute casual shoes. The quality is nice. They look great on my feet. If you are wondering whether to go with a wide width, chose the wide. The toe area is narrow, and the beginning of the zipper rubs my toe after a few hours of wear. They felt comfortable at first but rubbed in multiple places after wearing all day. I would choose a different pair without the zipper.

The ONLY problem is with the zipper.

The backs rubbed against my heels terribly, as soon as I tried them on. The arch support felt nice, and the zippers are wonderful, but I would have blisters in 5 minutes with these. Rats.

These are super cute, but the wide isn't even close to being a wide. Lengthwise, it's a 7. Width-wise, it's not a 7W. Sure I could get my foot in, but the shoelace area was practically open all the way. I have wide feet, but they're nothing crazy. Also, my heel came out of the back, so it's too wide in the heel, but not wide enough in the rest of the foot. Most women I know who have wide feet are like me - duck feet - narrower in the back and broader in the front; it's not like the heel gets so much wider; It's so hard to find wides where manufacturers understand that.

Love the look of the shoe (grey plaid) and the arch support. However, it’s a heavy shoe and the heel feels wide (ordered shoe in wide) like it would start to rub. Will probably return.

The insert, which I really like because of the support, meant the shoe didn't fit at all - just no room from top to bottom. The style is super cute but can't overcome the fit, which was also at least a half size small.

I really wanted to like these! So cute, just not wide enough (and I even ordered a wide)

I love the tie shoes with zippers. The styling on this is sharp. The fit for me rubbed on my toes on one side. They felt heavy for a summer sneaker. I sent them back.

Stylish sneakers with laces for good fit and a cute zipper on side for easy on and off. Bought the light blue canvas and color was nice. Good arch support inserts for comfort. Cute sneaker but decided to return as they were a bit heavy and decided I prefer a lighter slip on sneaker for the summer.

Super cute, but disappointed in the lack of comfort. They run small. I did return my first pair for a larger pair and they still feel stiff and uncomfortable.

I am sending these back because there is too many things going on inside the shoe. Too many places to feel uncomfortable on the two sides of the tongue and in the toe box. They're pretty hard on the inside as well. Surprised because I love my TAOS sandals I got a few years ago and wore all over Europe. Was hoping for the same experience with these.

I so wanted to love these shoes. The style and pattern are adorable. However, as so many other purchasers have noted, the shoe is not deep enough. Removing the arch support is not an option for me as I need it for a surgically repaired ankle.

I'm not sure if these are meant to be warn unzipped, but I had trouble getting my foot in when they were...nice styling, kind of like an upscale Keds, but just too small and narrow

I wanted to love these so much but the fit was too small. I normally wear a size 9 M but after reading the reviews, I ordered a wide instead of medium. My toes are wide but my heels are narrow. Unfortunately, the toe box was too narrow and hurt my feet. I'm going to try a 9.5 W but if that doesn't fit, then I don't think Taos shoes are a good fit for me.

I really wanted to love these shoes. So many great colors, two options (regular and wide), and a fun summer style. I wear a size 9 and I'm pretty standard in my size. The pair of 9s I received were definitely tight and I even ordered the wide option after reading the reviews. The arch support is great but the tight binding feeling from the shoes outweighed the great arch support. So I'm sadly returning these.

I found it very difficult to get my foot into the sneaker until I unzipped the zipper and then the difficulty was in getting the zipper closed.

Fit was spot on, true to size and width. Also very cute. However, they are the squeakiest shoes I’ve ever had on! Not a little squeak that I could live with or hope would disappear. So obnoxious I had to return them.

I wish I could keep them, but they rub right against the bunionette on the outside of my foot, and keeping shoes that rub there would be a bad idea.
