Z Soul

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.

Zipper is not just for a 'look'

I own 2 pair of the Z Soul sneakers. Purchased them for the zipper 'look' and because of previous positive experience with the Taos LOOP sandals. The zipper is game changer - so easy to slip these shoes on/off with a quick zip. Also, support is wonderful. I battle plantar fasciitis & wear custom orthotics but do not need the orthotics with Taos's great inner soles. Excited to see this come out in a white leather zip option, probably my next purchase! Very happy with this brand!

I wanted to love them, It's me not them

The only reason I gave four stars and not 5 was that the sneaker is very heavy. I have problematic feet and pain. I did have difficulty zipping them, so I had to loosen the laces quite a bit in order to do so, and that was in wide width. I have purchased three pairs of Taos recently, and was so hopeful but so far I have trouble with all three. If you have reasonably normal feet their shoes will work brilliantly. They are quality made. I have bunions, a Cartiva joint implant, hammer toes, plantar fasciitis and lipoma tumors on the bottom. 69 years old. I am doomed! I have tried every brand of shoe. This Sage/Olive color is stunning by the way. I recommend for you just not for me, as I have too many issues. I will not give up on Taos, will keep trying. I love the brand.

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.

The best shoe in my closet

My absolute favorite shoe. These are the most comfortable shoe in my closet, and I'm now on my second pair. My feet got wider in pregnancy so I moved up to a wide size 8 and they fit perfectly. These shoes saved me when I had a flare of plantar fasciitis and they continue to be my go-tos to prevent recurrences of pain. They look cute with dresses, skirts, shorts, pants, very versatile! I will buy them as long as they make them!

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.

Love this shoe

I absolutely love these shoes! They’re comfortable, supportive, and work exactly as they should. I have plantar fasciitis and have struggled to find shoes that don’t aggravate my feet, but I’ve noticed a real difference since wearing these. They give me the support I need and have helped make walking much more comfortable. Definitely recommend!

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!!!

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.

Best Sneakers Ever!

I have been so happy with these sneakers. Love the zipper. So comfy with arch support. Love that they come in wide width (bunions). Love the floral pattern! Every time I look down at my feet they makes me smile, and I get tons of compliments. I wore them all summer and they still look brand new. (The floral pattern hides any stains and dirt that might be there. ) I would buy them again if they were in stock. Please don't discontinue the floral pattern.

I have a wide foot

I have a wide foot and a high arch, these are comfortable to get on with the side zipper and have some arch support. The wide size is comfortable for me. They look good for city walking and are comfortable. In winter weather I put them on standby for boots but once the weather warms up I’ll use them again.

These sneakers are so cute

These sneakers are so cute and the most comfortable shoes I own. I stand all day at work and my feet feel great at the end of an 8 hr shift. I love that they offer a wide width as my foot is wider due to the bunions. Can’t wait to try the sandals.

Very comfortable, good arch support.

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

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.

Love them!

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

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!

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.

You won’t be sorry!

Absolutely love these shoes! I was afraid they might be to stiff with the flat looking sole, but they are so comfortable and have great support, I can wear them all day! I have some pretty strange issues with my feet and have really high arches so finding shoes that work for me is really difficult. I love these shoes so much I want another pair in a different color!

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 .

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.

Perfect Comfort!

I love this shoe!! I have a some what narrow foot, so I thought the fit was perfect. I slipped them on to try them wound up wearing them all day when I received them!!! So much support in the foot bed for this high arched girl!! I’m considering a second pair for my trip to Italy in June!!

My Favorite Sneakers!

I love these sneakers! So cute and very comfortable. I wore these in Disneyland for two days and walked over 13 miles per day with no issues. It's hard to find good arch support in cute shoes. Thank you, Taos! **I did have to get a half size larger than my normal size due to length.

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

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

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

Adorable

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

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.

I looove these! The zipper

I looove these! The zipper is so great. No more constantly tying. I love the color for fall too. Perfect with just about everything. The arch support was unexpected but it’s great for my flat feet. Fingers crossed the zippers don’t fail.

I absolutely love these shoes.

I absolutely love these shoes. I had plantar faciatis and I needed something with good support. These are perfect. It took one time of wearing them to break in, but now they’re so comfortable. I can’t wait to buy another pair.

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).

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

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.

Nice stylish sneaker

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

My new favorite shoes

These shoes are adorable. They look like Converse, in a way, but have great arch support and were comfortable the very first day. They are of excellent quality and should last a long time.

Zipper of convenience!

Bought these specifically for that zipper to ease my way through airport security. Worked like a charm. Arch supports also allowed me to leave my own orthotics at home and navigate my journey in comfort. Love these shoes!

green sneakers

very cute and a great fit as usual with Taos. A nice high arch for me:) A little tricky to figure out the laces but once I got it, I can just use the zipper, no problem. Spendy shoes but much better made than most.

The best shoes for foot pain!

The wide toe box makes all the difference with these shoes. The zipper makes them so easy to get on and off. They are my go-to shoes so much so that I haven’t bought them in 4 different colors. Love them!

Nice shoe, too supportive for me.

I so wanted to love these sneakers, and I do but. . . They have too much arch support--I'm talking arch support up the side of the shoe. The extreme insole both irritates my feet, legs and back, while also making the shoes too snug. Sizing up wouldn't help. I give four stars because they are super cute, super well-made, and they're Taos, which is a brand I trust. Just beware if you know you can only take so much support. I'm going to try to find a different insert, hoping then I can wear them comfortably.

When I first received these,

When I first received these, they looked too big so I started a return. I wasn't able to return them in time so the label expired. Taos kindly reopened the process. Before I sent them back, I tried them. They are so cute and comfortable, had the arch support I need and they fit perfect. I took my evening walk to be sure, they are great. A little stiff but should wear in well. Definitely a keeper!

Most Comfortable Shoe!

I love the Z Soul! They are so comfortable and provide a lot of support. I walk all day long wearying them. My first order came and I was sent the wrong size. I ordered an 8.5, the box said 8.5, but the shoe was actually a 6.5. The return process was easy and Taos provided me with a $15 credit, which covered shipped with a few dollars left over.

Love these sneakers- great arch support

Great sneakers. This is my fourth pair and first one with the zipper. I was skeptical but admit the zipper makes them much easier to put on and take off. As always, really comfortable and great arch support. I have worn custom arch supports in my shoes since I was 10 but don’t need to use them in those shoes!!

Cute & Comfortable

I bought these when the plaid was available and they are fantastic! I get so many compliments on them whenever I wear them. I have to have a good arch support and the Taos brand works well for me. I have several pair and hope to add to that.

Love how the green look

Love how the green look but the right one gave me a huge blister on my heel. They initially felt super comfy...I am waiting on the blister to heal and I will try again because they are super cute and give me arch support.

Yes!

Love this shoe design! A little funky fashion in an extremely comfortable shoe. The tie front but zipper beside gives it a smart look and ease in putting it on. Nice arch support. This is my second pair.

So happy with this purchase

These shoes are very comfortable and have great arch support. I so happy with this pair of shoes, I just ordered another style of shoe from Taos. I highly recommend giving Taos a try.

Comfortable to wear all day

I love that I can wear these all day to teach. They are supportive enough that I don't need the insoles I usually put in sneakers. The zipper is handy and super cute!

Perfect sneaker

These are so comfortable and cute. They have good arch support a & plenty of space at the toe. I love the zipper and the color choices.

Very comfy!

I love the arch support and how the toe box doesn’t pinch. The look is great and the zip is more convenient than I thought it would be.

This pair is one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever walked in. I absolutely love them! Great color too. The arch support is great.
