Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Plim Soul Lux

This shoe felt tight and stiff and slipped in the heel altho the toe seemed to have plenty of room. Going back ,sorry.

The shoe is great quality. They felt pretty tight the first day I wore them, but they loosened up some the second time I wore them. I think they will be one of my favorites once they stretch to fit my feet better.

I had the experience of my heels flopping out of the shoe, so I ordered a smaller size. Same thing, take a step, heel lifts up. It turns out the heel cup in the removable insole is pretty high. I tried them with my orthotics and some other insoles—much better! They're a high-quality crafted shoe. I got a silvery dark gray leather, and they look so dang cool!

Taos makes great shoes. These are no exception. My only complaint is that they are too heavy. I have several pairs of Taos sneakers and they are all too heavy. The arch support is fantastic. Reducing the weight of the shoe would make it perfect.

The leather on the camel colored ones is soft and comfy! But the toe box is too tapered for me: something rubbed on the outside of my big toe. This could be where my very long toes hit the outside edge of the shoe, and not a problem for others. I sized up 1/2 size for proper length. I think these were the closest to a fit that I've found after trying a bunch of Taos recently. I have low volume feet and long toes, for context. I sometimes wear narrow shoes.

I've ordered more pairs of Taos shoes in the past few weeks than I care to admit. Most of them run small, including this one. I finally got the size right (1/2 size up from my average size), but still, the toe box wasn't the right shape, and tapered in too much, causing pain on the outside edge of my big toe. I give up (for now at least!). I have a low volume foot, and long toes, so getting all the elements to line up and fit well is daunting.

The only complaint was I felt the tongue of the shoe came up towards the ankle and rubbed.

Awesome arch support, but like others have said, the back of the shoe is weirdly short. Enough that it would definitely bother me. Had to return unfortunately.

I’ve bought many pairs of white leather and canvas shoes before settling on these. The arch support is great for my plantar fasciitis! I noticed the back of shoe hitting lower than most of my other shoes, like other reviewers mentioned. I had the canvas Plim Soul to compare to and the Lux has a thicker sole. The insoles are exactly the same. Because the sole of the Lux is thicker, it makes the back of shoe shorter with the insoles. I wore them for the first time walking a couple miles in them with ankle athletic socks that covered any part of my skin from touching the leather. I developed a mild hot spot at the back of my heel because the shoes kept slipping as I walked. I think if I don’t have to walk too long, these shoes are great, but I’m wary taking them as my primary travel shoe. I still like them more than any other white shoe I've tried so far!

I really wanted to like these shoes. They were the perfect style, the leather was soft but the heel cup isn’t deep enough so my foot slipped out of the shoe. If only the footbed had better contour, it would’ve been perfect.

I wanted to love these shoes but im returning. They run big so you may want to size down a half size. Like another reviewer mentioned the heel cup is too shallow so my foot would slip out every step. I tried removing the insole, which helped, but then I had zero arch support and for the price of the shoe, its not worth it. Im a size 8 in every shoe I own, but these size 8 do not fit. Also - the Steel color online looks darker ( more black) but in person its more of a light grey. Returning.

Very cute and true to size but the leather is too hard so they hurt my big toe. Returning them.

I read most reviews and agree that you should order a half size up. I am normally a size 7 medium, but, my pinky toes rubbed, I returned the size 7 aso I ordered a 7.5 medium. We’ll see if the size up fits. Haven’t got them in the mail yet.

LOVE my new shoes except for the lack of cushioning underneath the ball of the foot. I will try adding some cushioning there.

Ordered a 10.5 M. I wear a 10 or 10.5 depending on the shoe. Fit true to size and width. I love the pattern, very pretty. Material feels a little stiff, and am hoping they'll soften up as I wear them. I have to wear socks with these too because of the stiffness, but I don't mind the socks. That's why I only gave these three stars for comfort. I have a canvas pair of Taos tennis shoes that has a little zipper on the side, which I adore. That's why I purchased these. I wanted another pair with the zipper but none were available in my size in a different pattern.

Trendy sneaker, but the heal slipped off the back. I own a pair of the star burst from Taos and LOVE those. Returning for another pair in that model.

I liked these shoes but at this price, I need to LOVE these shoes. I liked everything about the shoes but they felt heavy when walking. I'm looking for something that is a little lighter in weight.

Wide width was too wide and the length (9.5) seemed longer than my previous pair of this shoe (previous was 9.5 M and brushed suede type material)

I wanted to love these shoes, but they were quite heavy and looked too bulky on my feet.

Too narrow for my feet and there wasn't enough cushioning. But it's a super cute shoe if you can get the right fit.

Too heavy, little smaller than expected

Beautiful shoe but too stuff. Not comfortable at all. Too bad because they looked good

I am disappointed in the color of these shoes. They are supposed to be a Green Fatigue color, but the pair I received look much more dark gray. The color looks nothing like the representation on the website. Otherwise they fit great and are very comfortable - just not the color I thought I was getting. They are going back!

I need a low profile sneaker. This rubbed against my ankle.
