Better Than Expected

Let’s face it, this is a fashion sneaker. That being said, it is probably the most comfortable fashion sneaker I have worn. I have severe flat feet & have to wear orthotic arch supports in all my athletic shoes to be able to walk & exercise. I was a little skeptical that these sneakers would provide enough support without my orthotics. At least enough support to wear running errands or for dinner on the town. I am very pleased with the support & plan on taking them on vacation for outings. They won’t be for all day walking or on-my-feet all day activities, but they will give a comfortable choice for social activities.

Best shoes I’ve ever purchased

I have plantar fasciitis and high arches. These shoes provide excellent support and are comfortable to walk in all day long. Without a doubt the best shoes I’ve ever purchased.

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.

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 starsLynn C.

Great buy

I love these easy on comfortable shoes. I love all my Taos for their arch support for my plantar fasciitis!!

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.

5 out of 5 starsElizabeth M.

Z Soul Shoes

The shoes are an excellent fit and support my high arches. Zipping up the shoes is a little tricky in the beginning but I can wear them all day in my retail job and they stay comfortable and supportive all day long!

5 out of 5 starsLucia W.

Very comfortable, good arch support.

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

Super cute shoe with supportive arch

I really like the Z soul. I like that it zips or ties and has a great arch support. This shoe does run narrow so I really wanted to try a wide version but did find that the length was true to size. It is a bit of a heavy shoe so unsure as to whether I’ll end up packing it to go on a trip involving a plane. If Taos technology could figure out how to make it less rubber heavy, this could be the perfect shoe.

5 out of 5 starsAli

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

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 starsPiper C.

Great arch support. Looking forward

Great arch support. Looking forward to being able to walk all day while on vacation. I’ll buy more styles with this insole.

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!

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 .

5 out of 5 starsNina D.

I absolutely love my new

I absolutely love my new sneakers! They are cute, fit great, easy to put on and take off (thank you side zipper), and, of course, give me the arch support my high arches need. The arch support is the reason originally tried Taos! They feel orthopedic, but certainly don't look it!

5 out of 5 starsGail W.

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 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 starsSeona R.

These are exceptional quality. And

These are exceptional quality. And super comfortable. I’ve had to adjust my shoe preferences for plantar fascitis and these give me the look I want and the comfort I need.

5 out of 5 starsAlison W.

Love these. I have had

Love these. I have had foot surgery and Taos are the only brand I can wear all day. I have sandals and leather sneakers as well. All a perfect and supportive fit.

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 starsSharon H.

Great style and comfort

Love everything about this canvas sneaker. Great arch support, cushioning , and although they are canvas, they feel almost like a suede. Especially rich looking because I got the honey brown shade. And a must for me was the zipper. Once you've owned sneakers with a zipper you won't go back…so easy and quick and the laces are always perfectly tied. I was a bit disappointed to see they were made in China.

5 out of 5 starsLeslie L.

Wore these for 12 hours on day 1, so comfortable!

Got these in the Carhartt brown color and love them! They fit true to size, the zipper is cute and a nice solid construction of metal. The zipper is a bit stiff and sticky, but functional and comfortable on the side of the foot. Toe box is nice and wide. The arch support is superb and I have found my new shoe company! Will definitely be buying more from them!

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.

5 out of 5 starsClair H.

New Favorite

Love so many of the features. I bought these for an upcoming trip to Greece and I’m in love with them. The zipper feature is so convenient, the arch support is amazing, and since I have narrow feet (AAAA), I love the narrow fit which keeps my heels from slipping. I can wear them comfortably all day! I also purchased them in the Oyster color.

5 out of 5 starsSuzanne S.

I really like these. They

I really like these. They run a tiny bit longer then the Plim Soul shoes that I bought also. I have found them very comfortable and to have a great arch support. I would prefer to be barefoot, but my different foot issues make that a bad choice now. These are the shoes I can wear all day and my feet thank me for it!

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 starsPaula P.

The best Shoes I own!

I bought a tie pair 4 years ago before going on a 17 day trip. I was so happy I did as we walked miles everyday. That pair is still in great shape & i saw the zipper one. I had to have them. I am thrilled with my purchase. Great arch support & i can wear them all day

5 out of 5 starsJulie S.

Comfortable and cute

Really comfortable and cute. I love the side zipper. Makes it easy to slip on. Great arch support. I wear these to work - I'm a teacher and I'm on my feet most of the day. These will be really useful for an upcoming trip I'm taking. Great arch support.

5 out of 5 starsCynthia P.

Vaca sneakers

I got these because I travel a lot and they seem to go with just about every outfit. I took them on a recent trip and they were great - very comfortable with good support for all day walking. They are super cute too!

5 out of 5 starsGayla C.

Kicky youthful shoe

I love the casual canvas shoe! It screams hip and high quality while giving comfort with arch support to carry you through the day of doing whatever you are doing. Taos footware rules for comfort and style! ❤️❤️

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

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.

5 out of 5 starscheryl

Adorable

I just received Z Soul in grey, and they are adorable. I will wear them for once before I compulsively hit the button in another color! I ordered them in wide because I have a bunion, and the toe box seems plenty adequate. Super adorable shoe and my normal size appears to fit perfectly. Received in less than a week.

5 out of 5 starsCarol D.

Love Z Soul

Wonderful shoes. This is my 2nd pair of Z Soul and 4th pair of sneakers from Taos Shoes. They are the only sneakers that fit and are comfortable with my narrow feet and high arches. They are great looking and I get many compliments. I normally wear size 6 but buy 6 1/2.

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 starsSabrina A.

White Z Soul

They run short and the white is hard to keep clean even after using a protective spray. I wish I would have chosen a different color. I love the arch support and I’ve had no back pain while wearing them.
