Love these sneakers--and that zipper!

I recently rediscovered the benefits of wearing Taos when my plantar fasciitis flared once again. Wearing Taos, whether the boots, the slippers or the sneakers, relieves the pain and makes my day so much better. These sneakers are so cute. And I must admit the ease of zipping into them is wonderful. I could wear them all day right out of the box. They support my heels, and hold my feet in the perfect comfort. I really recommend Taos if you have any foot pain at all.

Great for flat feet

The arch support is so sturdy, I don't need ny orthotics! Walked for an hour with no back pain. Super psyched to travel with these

10 star shoe

Love these shoes!!! The orthotic footbed is perfect for my Plantar Fasciitis, with no bre as k-in period. Z-Soles Canvas tennis shoe with the zipper on the side are SO cute & comfortable! I’m a repeat customer!

Worth every penny!

I absolutely love these shoes! I bought two pairs about a year and a half ago and have worn them almost nonstop. They are getting a bit worn so I bought two more that came in this week! These shoes have very comfortable soles with great arch support. I have arthritis in my ankles and hips and have both knees replaced. These are the some of the only shoes I can wear all day long walking in concrete sidewalks. I live the zipper too! It makes it so easy to slip in and out of them.

5 out of 5 starsBrooke P.

Great sneakers!

I needed a few wearings a to make the Z Soul fit as I had hoped. The pair has molded to my feet well, which is a feat--no pun intended--since one foot is in worse shape due to a knee problem along with flat feet/no arch and occasional plantar fasciitis on both feet. The molded insole and zipper for quick on/off are great for me. I am already thinking about buying another pair.

4 out of 5 starsJane B.

Excellent style and comfort.

The wide size is good for bunions and neuroma. The shoes need a bit of breaking in. The side zipper is stiff and the heels chafe in the beginning of wear. The arch support and padding are excellent, as advertised.

5 out of 5 starsLee N.

Luv the style, adore the comfort!

Luv the zipper! These r so stylish! I have 3 pairs of these. I have a light floral, a reddish maroon floral and snakeskin. I get more compliments on all of my 6 tennies that I own. The other 3 don’t have the zippers but have very cool color schemes. Most importantly is the comfort and support. The fit and the arch support are done so well and I really thank Taos for this. I appreciate u big time as a company. I can wear these all day and I have fibromyalgia (muscle disorder), a ton of nerve pain from stenosis throughout my entire spine. I also have a ton of osteo arthritis in my legs, hips and feet. These support my body and help with keeping pain at bay. I can go for long walks and do so much on trips all day and just everyday activity. I luv these so much because I don’t have to wear the normal orthopedic footwear that is ugly as heck. I am a fashionable 65 year that can feel good about the support I am getting but also the style I get to have. Even though I have 6 tennies, they r all canvas, so now my wish list includes leather. So yes, I’m still not done with adding more Taos to my closet! Thank u for what u doTaos. Keep up the extraordinary work.

My favorite shoes right now

Since these arrived I’ve been wearing them more than any of my other casual sneakers. I have low arches and plantar fasciitis, and the arch support and heel cushion are great without feeling like they’re too thick. I’ve received compliments every time I wear them! They’re fun and comfortable, easy to put on and they go with just about anything…what more could you ask for??

4 out of 5 starsClare C.

Love the fit and the look!

The fit is perfect, and the arch support is OMG fantastic, especially if you suffer from plantar fasciitis. I walked 14k steps/day on different types of surfaces and had zero foot discomfort. The look is super cute, but my only complaint is the zipper is sometimes a bit tough to close. That said, its not constant and I would buy again and again.

5 out of 5 starsGeorgeann B.

Love these shoes!

I rarely buy shoes on the internet because they rarely fit or match the quality advertised. The Z Soul fit perfectly and haven’t yet caused my feet to hurt even after a full days walking. I’m in my 70’s and have bunions on both feet but my right foot is particularly bad. I purchased a 9W and prayed I wouldn’t have to return them. I am so pleased with Taos Z Soul that I even purchased another pair (different style) on sale knowing I wouldn’t be able to return them. They haven’t caused any pain and the arch support is fantastic keeps my back from hurting and the toe box keeps my bunions from screaming! They definitely lived up to their advertisement.

5 out of 5 starsPatty M.

My favorite shoes

I have a high arch, just found that out last year from my neurologist. I also have neuropathy. These shoes make all the difference. A built in arch on every pair is a great way to live in comfort. Plus the quality of Taos shoes is top notch!!!

5 out of 5 starsCam M.

This is now my fourth

This is now my fourth pair of Z Soul. I love them all! I love the arch support, the ease of getting them on and off with the zipper, especially has I have arthritis. I find they work well casually as well as for a slightly dressy look. My oldest pair is still looking very good, even though I have worn them quite a bit. I always get complements on them and refer people to this website. As I said before, I love them! They do run a little short and narrow, so I have them all in a half size larger than some of my other shoes.

Super comfortable and true to size … I have a very high arch and there is good support!

Very comfortable, good arch support.

Very comfortable, good arch support. Wore them walking in Europe with no foot pain.

Adorable and comfortable -- a win-win

First, they're adorable. Second, they're comfortable. Third, I love that they come in wide AND they have a side zipper -- which not only looks great, but also makes these sneakers super easy to get on and off. That's an A+ for someone with bunions who thought she'd never again find a cool-looking and comfortable shoe!

5 out of 5 starsJoan B.

Amazing

Loved your sneakers. . Recent travel average 10 miles day. . your sneakers were amazing. . side note I have plantar fasciitis and It issues, typically not on this trip!!

TAO z soul

Has been helpful to use this shoe for comfort while taking it easy as my plantar fasciitis is recovering. I got the shoe a bit bigger and wide.

5 out of 5 starsElizabeth

Love them!

Great shoes for plantar fasciitis. Comfy and cute. Definitely recommend. Would be good international travel shoes

5 out of 5 starsMary O.

I love the z soul,

I love the z soul, I love the look of it, I love the functionality of the shoe. I do not have to untie, I just unzip and step out of them. I have had two pair previously and did not keep the arch supports in. so I am trying them this time with the arch supports. I am hoping the arch support will help my bunions. I will report back on that. the quality of the Taos shoe is great. My first two pair of shoes were the Moc Star 2. great shoe also love the look and the fit, and the durability. I had those shoes for two years wore them just about everyday, and through them in the wash several times. Taos are my favorite tennis shoe

5 out of 5 starsNancy A.

Cute and comfortable

Really love these shoes. I like the zipper on the side so I don't have to retie them each time I take them off or on. The color is great--not too light or dark. Mostly for me though it's the fit--they were comfortable from the first wear. I have a naturally wide foot and a bunion. I went with the wide and a half size up which worked out perfectly. I would say though they may run a little a little short since my foot length in a wide is normally a 7 and I ordered the 7.5.

5 out of 5 starsKC

Best casual shoe!

I love these sneakers so much!! I have been wearing them for years and my first pair just just started to look worn after 7 years of consistently wearing them. As someone who has bunions and a fallen arch, this is the only comfortable (and CUTE) sneaker my feet likes. And the toe box is wide enough without looking clown-y for my toes to move around and not feel squished all day. Highly recommend!

5 out of 5 starsMary P.

Comfortable

These shoes are extremely comfortable! I wear size 9 and they fit perfect. I also have flat feet and the arch support is great!

5 out of 5 starsVictoria K.

Love love love! Perfect for long narrow feet (size up!)

(Remember to size up!) Best Shoe Brand, I have so many now ! Love the arch support and the high quality throughout and the trendy style, colours and patterns. So much better for my feet and back. I’m a 9 or 9. 5 and a size 10 is perfect for me. I have long narrow feet so finding a good fit can be hard.

5 out of 5 starsAndrea B.

Foot heaven!

Foot heaven! 💜I love all my Taos. I have been buying this brand for years. My high arch and plantar was the original reason but I love the styles and the durability. Every pair of sandals, sneakers, shoes last and last. My daughters-in-law said ‘white sneakers’. The zipper adds a little fun to it all.

5 out of 5 starsMargo M.

These shoes are perfect with

These shoes are perfect with my orthotics. I have non diabetic neuropathy and these are the first shoes in a while that can stand for more than an hour on my feet. I love them!

4 out of 5 starsEmily M.

VERY high arches

I was looking at these shoes for months. They are so cute and I love the zip on feature. I have never had this problem before with any other shoes, but the very supportive insoles had extremely high arches. I couldn’t even zip up the zipper half-way. And I didn’t want to take out the insoles because I bought them for the support. The insoles also cause the toe area to drop down lower than I like. But if you don’t have picky feet, these may be non-issues. They are cute and the quality seems good.

5 out of 5 starsMarnie L.

I have high arches and

I have high arches and flat casual shoes are not comfortable for me. Taos shoes have amazing arch support and my feet feel completely supported all around. Also, my feet don’t hurt when I take them off which can sometimes happen with ortho type shoes (I. e. Dansko’s). I am super happy with these shoes and will definitely purchase more from this company.

5 out of 5 starsKelly B.

I love my Taos sneakers!

I love my Taos sneakers! The fit is perfect and the arch support perfect for my flat feet . The colors are beautiful! Taos is my go to brand for arch support. I have one ask-please bring back floral patterns for your sneakers. My old pairs are getting worn out but I still get compliments on them .

Z Soul

I am very pleased with the Z Spul sneaker. I have difficulty finding shoes that fit my narrow flat feet. These have been very comfortable and supportive. Not to mention easy to get in and off with the side zipper!

5 out of 5 starsJudy

Arch support incredible.

I have terrible trouble with foot pain when walking. I purchased Z-Soul Taos runners and I am now able to walk distances I have not in the past. The arch support is incredible.

5 out of 5 starsRebecca P.

Cute style but lack support

I have a pair of Taos sandals that are very supportive of my medium high arch so I was expecting more support in these shoes. However, they are otherwise very comfortable.

5 out of 5 starsKaren L.

Love these shoes! I have

Love these shoes! I have flat feet but the arch support makes wearing these shoes so comfortable. Not my first pair of Taos…. definitely won’t be my last!

4 out of 5 starsTom F.

Love the look but definitely

Love the look but definitely long and thin, even in Wide. High arch is great but a softer sole (more cushion) would be nice for all day comfort.

5 out of 5 starsCindy B.

These shoes are so comfortable,

These shoes are so comfortable, and the arch support means no foot pain at the end of the day.

4 out of 5 starsLaura H.

Stylish shoe, but hurts me too much

They're really cute, but are rather narrow and after walking all day my feet felt so crunched. I loosened the laces all the way, but the fabric is stitched to only separate so far. The arch support is very good, but in the ball of the foot area there seems to be some very slightly raised padding which triggered the metatarsalgia I have on my right foot. For a regular foot it might feel cushioned and nice, but when the ball of your foot is tender something pushing into it (even padding) causes pain. I won't be able to wear these shoes. I can't return them because I walked all over on vacation with them and suffered a lot, even mostly limping because they were the only shoes I brought.

5 out of 5 starsChristine C.

Love these shoes!

I love these shoes. I wanted a slightly more stylish shoe that allowed me to walk in them all day and I got it. They are seriously comfortable. I walked all over Manhattan and and stood a lot at a museum exhibit and my shoes were great. They kept me going. They are quite heavy for sneakers, but still comfy and very walkable. Great arch support.

4 out of 5 starsKatherine E.

Great Arch Support

These are great shoes, I need shoes with really good arch support and cushioning and these have both! The only thing I take away a star for is the shoe crease at zipper when you walk and it digs into my little toe. So great for casual but I couldn't walk all day in them

5 out of 5 starsMichelle O.

I love these! I always

I love these! I always loved Converse but could never wear because they had no arch support. These are BETTER! I love the zipper for ease of putting on. They are SO comfortable and I am on my feet ALL day! I love them so much I bought several more pair!

5 out of 5 starsPaula G.

Great shoe

Comfortable, sturdy, easy to wear shoe. Great arch support, comfortable toe box, lightly padded back. My second pair of this style, definitely not my last

5 out of 5 starsLeeanne J.

Adorable

These shoes are as cute as the photos. Work pretty well with bunions although I haven’t walked real far in them yet.

4 out of 5 starsGail S.

I love the look and

I love the look and color of these shoes! The high arch support might not work for some people but it’s just right for me. Other reviews have said this, but the zippers are stiff and hard to zip and unzip. I can imagine myself at airport security and not having anything to hold onto while I wrestle with those. They do work, but it takes me more than just a second or two to open/close them. I do find that my toes rub against the insides a bit more than I’d like, but I’ve worn them for several hours at a time and had no blisters.

4 out of 5 starsTamara

Great cute shoe

Love the shoe but the wide is still too narrow for my bunions which makes my feet hurt and so far are still stiff. I am optimistic the canvas will stretch a bit. The zippers are great to get out of the shoe but won’t zip up to get into the shoe. Mixed on how i feel.

5 out of 5 starsMaria

LOVE

Love these shoes, they are extra comfy and stylish, I have really flat feet so they provide good support. Bonus for me is that I can just use the zipper to get them on and off (I hate tying my shoes lol).

4 out of 5 starsGrace K.

Good shoe

I wish they were wider. These shoes are best for narrow feet, without bunions. I had to use a shoe widener before wearing them for the first time. They require a break in period.

5 out of 5 starsDavid K.

these shoes are amazing! My

these shoes are amazing! My 2nd pair. I have narrow feet and some arthritis and they are supportive but also fit snug for the narrowness

5 out of 5 starsNancy H.

Good for the soul!

Great gym shoe. My first time trying this style. But with the orthotic insert they are so supportive. Very comfortable and stylish.

4 out of 5 starsLynn P.

Nice stylish sneaker

Comfortable but would like a little more support since I have a high arch.

4 out of 5 starsKim R.

Nice arch support

I was looking for walking shoes with arch supports and this shoe fits the bill. I have two minor issues in that the zippers seem to stick a bit so I’ve just been using the laces and the fabric in the inside of the heel is bumpy (wrinkled?) and rubs against the back of my heel so I can wear no show socks with them. I’m hoping once I break them in maybe they will soften up a bit.

5 out of 5 starsHeidi

On the go

Purchased the Z Soul Sneakers primarily for travel, the easy in/out zipper initially caught my attention, plus so many fabulous color choices. The reason I keep returning to Taos is the quality of their shoes and the arch support. They are stable shoes meant for action, that look great too.

5 out of 5 starsPatricia Y.

Amazingly comfy and stylish!

I got these just before a trip to Europe and did not have time to wear them in. They were fantastic so comfortable and the arch support is amazing. I climbed many hills to ruins and castles and they stayed clean and constantly comfortable. Very happy with my purchase.
