Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Star

This is my second pair, this time in khaki. My first pair, in charcoal, has become one of all-time favorites. (And I had ordered a half size up after reading the reviews, and they fit perfectly.) Very versatile, with casual skirts, jeans, leggings -- and very comfortable for walking, so they make a really good travel shoe -- wore them while walking all over Florence and Venice. After an initial stiffness, they quickly adjusted to a nice flexibility. Similar styles do not have good arch support, but these with the removal insoles. I work in a casual office, so I would find myself reaching for these shoes a lot!

Based on reviews I ordered1/2 size up, but it was still too short in length. My toe rubbed with out taking a step.

I have this TAOS sneaker in several colors but the sage green is completely mislabeled/poorly constructed. Zappos customer service went out of their way to try and replace it for me but the size 11 in sage green fits more like a 9 and the size 12 fits like a 13. Extremely disappointing.

I am a very true 8.5. Always. I literally could not put my foot inside of these shoes... I tried loosening the laces as much as I could. The weirdest sneaker!! I kept checking the tags to see if they were actually a size 5 LOL SO WEIRD!

I bought the Moc Star as well as the Star. I have always worn a size 8. I have narrow feet with a very narrow heel. I have short toenails. BOTH pairs of shoes are too short. The Canvas has no give so I do not expect them to stretch much. BOTH pairs of shoes run very narrow. They hurt the top of my feet no matter how far I loosen the laces. I love the arch and heel support. Too bad I can only wear them for an hour or two! HUGE AMOUNT OF WASTED! Basically $200 flushed down the toilet.

I read reviews and ordered a full size up, and in wide. This shoe felt narrow, and way smaller than marked. My feet didn't even like being placed into them to try on. I did feel there was slight arch support, but not enough for my problem feet. I returned these, and will not be re-ordering this shoe.

These felt 2 sizes too big. Stiff as a board. Very cute but not the quality I hoped for. Returned for sure. I won't even try another size

Well they looked cute and I thought they would be comfy but they are NOT! Ouch!Sorry! Going Back

These shoes were so PERFECT that I bought another pair for a holiday gift. BUT I wore mine once and when I got home, the color (Ruby Red) had bled on to the laces and the white soles so back both pairs went. UGH!

I was so disappointed. My instep is too high and they hurt. :-(

This is my second pair of Taos Stars. I absolutely loved the first pair, wore them daily until I wore them out. Got this pair to replace the originals and they are some of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever had. They feel too short and too narrow (even though I usually wear a Narrow), plus the arch doesn't seem to be in the right place. I wish I could return them but I got rid of the box immediately since I thought I knew how perfect these were going to fit. After trying to wear them a few hours or days at a time, I believe they are possibly defective or at least mis-sized. I hope this is just one bad pair because I certainly want to wear more Taos shoes!

Wow I've never tried on a pair of comfort shoes and felt such discomfort. First they are at least half a size too small. I have a narrow foot but this shoe was too narrow. They're hard as a rock and zero cushion. The teal color was appealing which is why I ordered these. The high reviews are misleading, I would comb through many of them pointing the flaws before settling. They're going back asap!

Hated these shoes!

These definately run short and the toe box is shallow so pinched my bit toe. Bummer because arch support was great and loved the style.

I have the Taos Freedom in size 8 and found it a very comfortable shoe right out of the box, no complaints. I am now trying not to purchase leather, so bought Taos Star size 8.5, but even though they fit, they are not comfortable, very stiff and the back of one of the shoes rubs my heel. Disappointed in these but I can recommend Superga 2750 COTU classic size 39. I have two pair and they are comfy right out of the box, no rubbing. They may not have enough arch support for some.

Absolutely darling shoe - I wear a 9.5W and sometimes, depending on the shoe, can wear a 10M. So I ordered a 10M and,unfortunately, can't even get part of my foot into this shoe. Can't tell you anything more, but it sure is cute.

The arch of this shoe is way too high, changing my gait to walk on the outside of my foot. It felt unnatural. I wear a neutral running sneaker to balance my gait to the center of the foot as I naturally walk on the outside, so this shoe doesn't work for me. Also, even with the increase in 1/2 size, it still pinches my ankle.

These shoes are way too short and it's too bad because they're a great shoe, but I can't order larger than an 11. I usually wear a 10 1/2 or 11 and the 11 is too short. If they fit you, the low profile and arch support is so comfortable and cute.
