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!

Arch support

Made well, comfortable since I have feet issues. Can wear all day w/o pain! Toe box could be wider as bunion issue. Cute styling + easy to put on w/ zipper! Great arch support too.

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!

5 out of 5 starsLeah W.

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.

My puppies love these ...

Recovering from plantar fasciitis, these have been a godsend ... great arch support. Love the zipper on/off. Cute style and color ...

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.

The Best Sneakers I’ve Ever Owned are Z Souls

OhMyGosh! These are the best sneakers I’ve ever owned and I have a LOT of sneakers! I’ve suffered from Plantar Fasciitis in the past and for sure will wear these if/when it happens again. They’re great with my high arches and can’t say enough good things about them, except that I now own a 2nd pair of sneakers, slipper/shoes and sandals! Oh, and BTW, I love, love, love the zipper on the side! People keep asking me the brand and where I bought them! OF COURSE I tell them!

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 starsIrma M.

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.

5 out of 5 starsPaola B.

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.

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!

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 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 starsMari M.

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!

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!

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 starsMolly B.

Buy these shoes!

Love, love these shoes. They are very comfortable, with a wide toe box and good arch support. Plus they are super cute and do not make a larger foot (size 9) look huge as some other shoes do. The side zipper is great, too, and makes them more of an easy slip on. Like them so much that I bought the same pair in the autumn floral pattern. Just adorable!

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 starsBecky T.

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.

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 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 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.

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 starsDenise B.

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.

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.

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.

5 out of 5 starsKristine W.

Z Souls Rock!

These are the most comfortable, yet hip, sneakers I have found. The wide toe box and arch support are everything! And the zipper adds a certain cool factor to the design. I now have 2 pair of Z Souls and one pair of Taos lace-ups. Love them all!!

5 out of 5 starsRachel

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.

4 out of 5 starsSuzanne H.

Z soul

Nice looking shoe. Like the style and zipper with good arch support and removable insole. Is a flat soled shoe which is fine for short distances. Fast walking or running is difficult.

5 out of 5 starsPat P.

These shoes fit well and

These shoes fit well and they are very comfortable. I wore them all day the first wearing and they were great. I love the arch support.

4 out of 5 starsLauren M.

Good shoe

Really good looking shoe - I get many compliments. Zipper is super-stiff; I had to use WD-40 to loosen up both of them, and now they're fine. When I first put on, the shoe was very tight and I was disappointed - until I realized, I just need to adjust the laces until I could slip in and out of these better. Now I do so without having to lace or use the zipper - and they still look fine. They are a bit stiff and my right foot (I have a slight bunion) was pretty uncomfortable for a few days, but okay now. I'm undecided, but may have sized up a 1/2 - still trying to decide. All in all, I would still buy them again. Very supportive, good style, good quality.

5 out of 5 starsElvia A.

Cute shoe but poor fit

At first the shoes were too tight- so I took out the insoles. Without the insoles they were too big. I decided to break them in, I wore them all day, but by the end of the day, a bunion on my right foot was throbbing so much, that I gave up on the sneakers. The zipper also unzipped throughout the day. Returning to my adidas.
