User Reviews
Seeing the arch support before I put them on was impressive. They were a little tight at first and had to use a shoe horn, but once I put them on and walked around the house, they softened and became very comfortable. The high price kept me from buying for a while, but I finally decided to get them. I think I am going to really enjoy them!
These shoes are so comfortable and easy to slip on and off. I love the color combination!
I was worried these would give me blisters, but they're a perfect fit. They're also beautiful and go with so many of my outfits. A great buy!
Great shoe. I wore them with no socks the first day and didn’t get blisters. So comfortable. Great arch support. My foot is on the narrow side of normal and they fit perfectly. The tow box is a good fit for me. They were not used, but have been tried on, the paper for the shoes was in the box, not in the shoes themselves. Didn’t impact my experience.
Taos insoles are amazing for my high arches. A slightly wider toe box would make this shoe ideal for my foot.
I tried these on in a store and purchased on Amazon, tho you don't get much discount with this brand. The leather is nice and the shoes feel good when I put them on. BUT if you are on your feet all day, they may not be for you. The outside of my right foot definitely feels squeezed if I wear these for long. If you have a neuroma you may feel it. They are also a bit tight over the top. If you have a high insole or a chubby foot, you may want to pass. Maybe they will stretch over time. Very good quality.
I love these shoes - so comfortable and unique. Fit great with no breaking in period. Though the arc supports are in a weird position - as other reviewers mentioned. I just swapped them out for my own arch support - no problem - these are now my fav pair of shoes. Sporty, comfortable, cool.
I ordered these for the look, comfort, and quality of taos shoes, but the leather on these is very stiff. The toe box is wider than other brands, but still pushes my big toes inward, which causes bunions. Unfortunately, I will be returning these.
