Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Sideways

Unfortunately I had the same problem as other reviewers. The ankle strap is too short and only attached to the first inch of the "sticky" velcro when the sandal is on my foot. The rest of the velcro showing isn't a great look but I could live with it. I'm concerned that the connection will wear out quickly though since there's only about an inch actually "sticking". At this price I'm not willing to take the chance which is really disappointing because I think they're very cute.

I fell in love with the look of these sandals on the Taos website. I ignored the warnings of several reviewers there that the strap that flips under the toe strap put pressure on the pinky toe, but they were right. No amount of cuteness can make up for the intense pain that doubled over strap placed on each of my little toes. The shoe is not too narrow, nor is the horizontal toe strap too tight. I tried chaining on my pinky toes, and I tried these out around my house for two weeks. The pain was persistent, and these shoes are going back. On the plus side, the arch support is excellent, the leather smooth, and the Velcro straps nicely adjustable. None of that overcomes the pain in my little toes with every step.

I’m really disappointed in how these sandals look after only wearing them a couple times a week for the last 3 weeks. They look ready for Good Will. Definitely not the sane I’ve experienced in the past and DEFINITELY NOT worth the price tag. They’re very comfortable and attractive though. But, I don’t see myself buying another Taos shoe.

Loved the style & support of the sandal. Unfortunately, the spot at the pinky toe where the leather folds under was very uncomfortable. It squished my toe so much that it was unwearable.

Cute but the fit was so uncomfortable.

I wanted to LOVE these. They are beautiful. However they run small. They are pretty average in width maybe a tad narrow. The 11/11.5 ran like a 10/10.5. I am consistently an 11. The ankle strap is VERY short as mentioned in the other reviews. I do not have large ankles. I’m so disappointed with these.

These are beautiful sandals. I LOVE the color (steel) and the style. Really cute sandal. But these fall WAY short on comfort and practicality . I was reluctant to buy because of the ridiculously high $$. I should’ve listened to my instinct because these are so very uncomfortable. The foot bead is not comfortable as the social media posts say and the bottom side is awful. No traction very slippery. No cushioning either. Arch support is weak as well. These are a definite return!

I liked these sandals a lot, however the pair that was sent me was defective. The Velcro on the back of the left shoe was not sewn on correctly and was coming off of the shoe.

The twisted leather by the toe puts pressure on toe and hurts.

The leather on these shoes felt cheap and scratched really easily. I tried to break these shoes in for a couple of weeks before taking them on a trip to no avail. My feet were bleeding by the end of the first day of light walking. The straps rubbed the tops of my feet despite trying to adjust them. For this price point, my expectations were much higher. Thanks to Zappos for accepting the return.

The straps are too short, which leads to a lot of velcro being exposed. Looks very cheap.

too narrow - exposed velcro in back

I was so excited to try these sandals as the Taos brand is generally very comfortable. But, there is a huge design flaw with this style. The back strap is too short to reach the Velcro fastener. In addition, one back strap was a half inch shorter than the other sandal. Fix this problem and it would be a great sandal.

The strap is ridiculously short - the velcro didn't match up even a quarter inch. I do have a bit of a high instep, but this was almost laughably short. It's a shame as they are super cute and I've seen tons of ads for it, but I cannot imagine any foot that would be able to wear these. The sole was also a bit narrow, felt like the outer edge of my foot was overlapping out a bit.
