"These were suprisingly very comfortable right out of the box. Based on other reviews of the leather breaking down quickly, I applied leather conditioner before wearing them. So far the leather has performed as expected. The sandals look great with shorts, pants, and sundresses. I wear 7. 5m and the 8 is just barely long enough, so I think they run slightly short."
"This shoe is great because it's a thong-style that looks like a dressier slide. The metatarsal pad isn't as supportive on the soft footbed as it is on the cork footbeds, so I will probably stick with the Perfect sandal in the future. Usually wear a 7. 5 and ordered an 8. The length fits great, but I wish they were more narrow."
"Very nice but run small for my 7 wide feet, should have sized up 1 as the edge of my foot hits the back. Alas, final sale, which is annoying for a pretty expensive shoe. I’m wearing them to see if I can break them in but they clearly aren’t as comfortable as the adjustable pair I got on sale too."
"This is my second pair of Taos shoes and won't be my last! The pair of sandals I bought last year and this recent pair I could wear immediately, no pain, no wearing in . . . perfect from the start!"
"Live them! They’ll be my summer travel shoe I can dress them up or dress them down. Instead of bringing four pairs of shoes I just need these. Great quality at an affordable price. Love the fact that they’re leather and we get better overtime. I would just suggest that you provide half sizes. The seven is good but a 7 1/2 would’ve been ideal."
"I typically do not wear thong/slide sandals anymore because of the pressure it puts on my 2nd toe. Really liked the look of the Gift 2 and decided to try it due to the amount of coverage over the top of the foot. I love them! There was no flop when walking, still had great arch support while having a nice amount of cushion - almost like wearing a slipper. Another pair added to my Taos collection of shoes!"
"Love the shoe! The quality & comfort you expect from Taos. I wish they did half sizes! I’m an 8. 5 and opted for the 8. I should have gone to 9. If you get the right size, you will not regret buying this shoe!"
"I love this sandal. I put them on immediately upon their arrival and wore them all day. There was no breaking in period. I like the sandal covering so much of my instep. I feel very secure in these sandals. I have to really consider how badly I want the shoe before I buy online. I have a wide foot and high instep and they fit! I bought the gold ones and I have received many compliments."
"This sandal is the most comfortable sandal I’ve ever worn. Has excellent arch support and a cushion footbed. My feet sweat and I have problems with my sandals slipping. Not with these. The footbed absorbs the sweat without staining the shoe. I have 2 pairs of these and couldn’t be happier. So very comfortable from the moment you put them on. And can wear all day!"
"Looks lovely. I needed to stretch the leather a bit. Perhaps the design would be better with Velcro straps over the foot arch instead of a fixed one."
