Quality is excellent but the
"Quality is excellent but the fit is narrower than expected."
Pleased with purchase
"These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. I ordered a half a size larger from previous experience and they fit perfectly. The zippers were a bit stiff, but I am hoping they will be easier to use with a little wear. I am very pleased with my purchase."
Awesome: hip and comfy sneakers
"These are perfect—cool, hip, beautiful leather. They are super comfortable and have wonderful support—I struggle w plantar fasciitis and am on my feet all day teaching. They feel great!"
I need the arch support
"I need the arch support and Taos shoes have the best. I can stand for long periods of time with no problem! And these shoes are so cute! I love the colors that are available."
Size down
"I ordered my usual size 8 forgetting that in Taos shoes I have to size down. Since these were final sale shoes I was very disappointed to say the least. I’m retired and can’t afford to waste my money. Since the arch isn’t in the right place the comfort and fit is off that’s why the low star rating. I can tell the 7 1/2 would be perfect."
Great walking shoe. Bunion friendly!
"Great walking shoe. Bunion friendly! Good support for someone that had planter fasciitis. I just tie and do not use zipper. Love the look! Normally wear a 9, and 9 1/2 on all Tao shoes is perfect. Narrow feet yet I do not wear a narrow width"
Love my Zipsters!
"This is at least the 5th pair of Taos shoes that I’ve bought and all have terrific arch support. They have all been immediately comfortable and seem to last forever! The Zipster has a handy zipper that allows a speedy way to get in and out of sneakers: great perk! And the color of the zipper blends seamlessly into the color of the shoe."
The shoe has the Taos
"The shoe has the Taos great fit and awesome arch support. I only wish the rim around the shoe would have been wider."
Love my sneakers! Very comfortable
"Love my sneakers! Very comfortable and love the color! Wish I would have sized up for a little more room with thicker socks! Otherwise, a great purchase!"
