I love, love, love these

I love, love, love these boots! I had a little trouble with the edge of the boot rubbing against my left ankle, but a bandaid and breaking them in solved the problem. Because I have struggled with plantar fasciitis in the past, I am very careful about the shoes I buy; I have had no issues with heel pain or foot pain even after wearing these boots all day long!

Comfy for narrow feet and high arch

These are nice boots to wear with skirts and skinny jeans…. Not too militant and not too country. I have narrow feet with high arches and a lot of support needs, which these boots met well. My only nagative observation is that the rich camel color immediately lightened upon wearing where the top of the shoe flexes. Rubbing the leather hasn’t helped. Otherwise, the rest is holding up nicely.

Love, love! Bought these boots

Love, love! Bought these boots to replace an old pair of a different brand that fell apart from the Florida climate (not the boots fault but if you live in south Florida you know what the humidity does to your leather over time). Loved these right out of the box and have worn them everyday. So comfortable from the first wear. Bought this color because it was on sale and very pleased overall, comfortable and stylish. I plan to wear for travel also as the comfort is that good and could walk all day in them. Very solid boot but doesn’t feel heavy. Plan on purchasing another pair at some point, they are that nice!

Beautiful boot. Fits well. I

Beautiful boot. Fits well. I have narrow feet so no width problem. Has arch support for high arches. Comfortable boot.

Love, love, love!!

I never thought I could love a boot… I LOVE these boots!! They are comfortable and stylish. I have a bunion and the wide toe box and soft leather does not hurt my foot. I will definitely be buying more boots and am excited to try other styles.

Comfort out of the Box

They were comfortable for me right out of the box. I put them on, as soon as they arrived, with no socks. They were comfortable and fit well. The second time was shopping. (I did put on socks). They are the kind of shoe you don’t think about having on. I have been wearing Taos boots and sneakers for 14 or so years. This is my third pair of boots. I expect to wear them this year on a road trip across our beautiful country and later to Europe, pretty enough for city and pavement, and sturdy enough for hiking. By the way, my 10 year old pair had some issues with the soul on their last trip. I love them so much that I couldn’t throw them out. A shoe repair man fixed them up like new and they are still my most comfortable shoe.

Stylish and great support

I've had my eye on these for quite a long time. I finally purchased them and wished I had done it sooner! They are super comfortable, great arch support and a perfect fit. Very stylish and I get compliments all the time. Taos is one of my favorite brands and they never disappoint. Well done.

Fantastic boots. Quality leather and craftsmanship. Insoles have great arch support and cup your heel nicely. Durable non slip sole. Very comfortable.

Lovely Boots

Absolutely beautiful dark red shoes that are also comfortable and sccomodate orthotics. I sized up to an 8M to accomodate socks and orthotic.

Taos Super Fan

I love love love these boots! They are so gorgeous and the fit is perfect! I wore these out for a night downtown and never have I ever worn a boot this comfortable! In fact I usually don’t buy boots because of my high arch I find it difficult to get my foot in them but not with these boots. So easy to put on. The first pair of Taos I bought were the plim souls then I bought 4 more pairs of sneakers. They are my everyday shoes. I have since picked up a pair of dressier shoes and a pair of sandals but wish you had a thong sandal (hint hint), the slip in woolies (yay), and my boots. I truly will not wear any other brand of shoe

Worth every $!

These are amazing boots & the color red is so rich! They fit great out of the box which is great when you have a high arch! They were a little stiff but not to the point of being uncomfortable. They are made so well definitely worth the wait & $! I’m considering buying another color bc they are that good! I would suggest sizing down if you’re in between sizes. I normally wear a 6. 5-7 but the sz 6 fit perfectly with room to spare for thick socks. I was wondering if the heel would be too high but it’s not even noticeable. If you’re on the fence just get them, they are so worth the money!

4 out of 5 starsElizabeth T.

Lovely Boot

Sizing is accurate and they do account for the fact that you’ll be wearing socks with these boots. 😉 They are superbly made. I love the style. And they are very comfortable. The only reason I gave them 4 starts instead of 5 is because I wanted them to have less of a heel. Don’t get me wrong, the heel rise is subtle. And 40 year old me would have loved that heel. But 52 year old me just prefers a flatter heel rise for all day comfort. The arch support is great and they are comfy. I wear them to dress up. But I don’t really wear them as daily shoes, and I was hoping to be able to do that.

Great Quality - Like all their shoes!

I have several pair of taos shoes- all great quality. I have the black Mini Craves. They are a bit stiff to start with but are easily broken in. Very strong arch support- but comfortable. I initially ordered the wide width because sometimes wide are just more comfortable (more so in dress shoes), but these were too wide, so I exchanged for the regular width and they fit nice.

5 out of 5 starsAmanda R.

Great arch support

I love my mini crave shoes! The teal color is beautiful! The toe box is nice and wide and they have the best arch support of any shoes I own. I did put some dr schools inserts in for a more cushy feel. They are comfortable right out of the beautiful box!

5 out of 5 starsBeth M.

Happy Feet

Taos shoe never disappoint. Very comfortable & stylish. I pronate, have bunions that make it difficult to find shoes they provide support & comfort, but Taos shoes check all the boxes for me. But…. The uni uni shipping service they are using now is awful. I had to scour the neighborhood for my delivery. For an extra fee I could have insured my delivery, & I did not pay that. So, when my shoes were improperly delivered I was unable to get assistance. Just warning other customers & Taos corporate that this new delivery company & additional fee is not cool! I paid regular shipping & the additional fee to ensure the delivery is done right did not sit well with me. Very poor customer service with the new shipping service. Taos, do something to fix this.

My dreams have come to life!

I have neuropathy in my feet and shoes can be really uncomfortable. I saw these and immediately fell in love with the style, but worried about the comfort. I tried them on in a local store and . . . OMG! How are they so cute AND comfy?! Honestly, now I want an excuse to wear them all the time. Thank you for creating such a great little boot.

5 out of 5 starsSandy P.

My Favorite Boots!

I love my Crave boots! I have a neuroma and need arch support. It's difficult to find boots that offer this amount of support. From the first day I wore them, they were perfect. They did not have to be broken in. I wear them all the time. I will be ordering other colors.

5 out of 5 starsLuanne S.

Best Boots ever!

I have neuropathy and these seem to be comfortable. I wouldn't be able to wear them all day with my condition but so far so good. They are so stylish and they make me feel younger wearing them, being 60. I feel like these are gonna hold up well, made with quality material.

5 out of 5 starsCheryl S.

Best shoes in years

I have worn these boots every single day this winter. I have bad feet with damaged sesmoid bones so finding a truly comfortable shoe is rare. The support and comfort are incredible and my feet never feel tired or sore. Just ordered a second pair

5 out of 5 starsJulia K.

5 star shoes

These shoes have become my favorite. Great support for my feet! I have a high arch and every pair I have bought have fit my foot perfectly! I have bought 6 pairs since last Christmas and I am extremely pleased!

4 out of 5 starsSusan E.

Lovely sboots

Lovely color- not as bright as they look on screen, which is good. Love the dual zipper/laces. They are a bit stiffer than I expected (took off a star for that) but they are still comfortable and don’t rub. The footbed has good arch support but doesn’t provide much cushion (another reason for the 4 stars). But I will definitely wear them and expect to get lots of compliments!

5 out of 5 starsChrista H.

Comfortable and stylish

These boots look really good on my feet and they feel good too! It’s hard to find stylish shoes that also offer arch support and are well made.

5 out of 5 starsKaren B.

Excellent Boots!

After tearing my hamstring many years ago, I always wore sneakers or flats because of the foot pain associated with the injury. So, I was apprehensive about buying these boots. I'm so happy I bought them! They are so comfortable, and there was no break-in period. Also, the quality is amazing, and they look great with anything!

5 out of 5 starsBrenda K.

This is a great mini

This is a great mini boot! The fit is perfect and great cushion insole. I typically don’t buy shoes without trying them on due to a bunion on one foot but these boots were a welcome surprise. Doesn’t affect my bunion at all!

5 out of 5 starsMarsha D.

I was a bit nervous

I was a bit nervous about order cause I have high arch, but the minute I tried them on, they felt comfortable! I have ordered two other pair of shoes and the same has been true. I am impressed with this company so far.

5 out of 5 starsPamela B.

Quality boot

I've only worn these a few times so far but they are very comfortable. I'm hoping that they won't stay so shiny looking after wearing out more. Also hoping to find some different laces because these kind of look like rigid "Army boots" the way they are now. Just hoping to soften them up some with more wear. I have a pretty narrow foot and they fit fine. I can tell that they look like they will last a LONG time due to the high quality :-)

4 out of 5 starsMarla D.

Gorgeous boot

Love this brand and own sandals. Bought these on sale (can’t return) and love the color, fit and workmanship. Not in love with the arch placement and lack of cushion inside. Makes my feet hurt. For reference I have a narrow foot, normal natural arch and do well with other popular hiking brands of boots, shoes and brands known for cushion and support. Since I can’t return them I will try an insert for some cushion.

5 out of 5 starsIsabelle R.

I loosened all of the

I loosened all of the laces to get my foot in. Slid my bare foot in with no issue. Very comfortable footbed. Pulled laces tight. The shoe fit perfectly ( size 8 ). I wore them around the house for about an hour with no rubbing or issues. ( it’s still in the 90 degree range at my house, so it will be a while before I can wear them all day outside. Very cute and stylish. Can’t hardly wait for the Fall weather.

5 out of 5 starsElizabeth H.

Love the look and feel!

Love the look! Love the zipper to help them on and off quickly without unlacing and retying every time. I'm still debating whether the insoles are the ideal one for my foot - they have good arch support but could be a touch more squishy, so I may insert my own, but the ones they come with are easily removable.

5 out of 5 starsAmi K.

Love them!

I bought these boots because of the color, absolutely fantastic dark teal. For my feet Arch is in the right place. I wear them all day at work on my feet. Really fantastic. They have a roomy toe box without looking squared off. Really a great fit. .

5 out of 5 starsRobin C.

Mini boots

Very comfortable, love the color. I have several foot issues and width is a problem but wore these right out of box with comfort. I’m on my feet for 8 to 9 hours a day and these boots provided the support and comfort I needed.

5 out of 5 starsMargaret W.

The best boots

Really these boots are the best - they are great for everyday - hiking - walking the dog - work -party - shopping - they support and yet are soft and flexible - they look good with every outfit ! The perfect boot !

5 out of 5 starsAlynn G.

Cute is never this comfortable

These red boots get all the compliments. I can walk or stand on my feet all day wearing this she's. No break in period needed at all. I got a size up after reading the reviews and the fit was perfect.

4 out of 5 starsCarole T.

doesn't fit like the original.

Overly supportive shoe. I had to replace the insole with one with less arch support. But very well made. Sad to say I don't like them as well as my original Crave boots.

5 out of 5 starsVivian H.

Perfect ankle boot

This is my second pair of Mini Crave boots. Fit is TTS, comfortable right out of the box, and perfect for walking on trips. Plus, who doesn’t love a red boot!

These shoes are both beautiful and incredibly comfortable. Sliding my feet into them feels devine. Good arch support. I love wearing them with a cute dress

I love the look of

I love the look of these mini boots and they are so comfortable. I had no foot pain the first time I wore them. I will be buying another pair of them to add to my boot collection. These boots go with many different outfits and are in fun colors. The height of the boots is just right and comfortable around the ankles. The style is cute and fun.

5 out of 5 starsTisha R.

Comfort and style

These booties are great. They don't require any break in period. I live in an urban spot and walk a lot. I have flat feet and Taos had been a Godsend.

5 out of 5 starsLisa P.

Great Boots

I bought these minis because of the color of leather and the height of the boot. They are easy to put on using the side zipper and inside they are a party for your foot with all the support they provide. I have traveled through airports and have worn them all day comfortably. They do have to be broken in to be most comfortable around the top of the boot at the ankle. This is my second pair.

4 out of 5 starsDeborah H.

I have the tall Crave

I have the tall Crave boot, which is one of my favorite pairs of shoes, and while I love the color and design of the mini Crave, I wish the footbed was as comfortable as that of the tall Crave. I will have to purchase an insole, which I have not had to do with any of my other Taos products. That said, it is a beautiful boot, and it runs true to size.

5 out of 5 starsMarianne C.

Love Love Love these Boots

I ordered the Mini Crave in Cognac. It’s a beautiful, warm brown that goes well with everything. The support is amazing - I can wear Taos shoes all day long for the first time and not have any problems. It is a heavier winter boot, and that’s exactly what I wanted. Love, love, love!

5 out of 5 starsCharlene

Love love love

I have two pairs. They are so comfortable. I feel like they were molded to my feet. I can wear them all day. As a high school teacher, I am on my feet all day. They feel like slippers. Thinking about a third pair……

5 out of 5 starsCynthia

High quality, great boot

I typically wear a 9. 5 narrow or medium and got these in 9. 5 med. They fit and feel great though had to swap out the insoles for my usual Aetryx ones. I have to do that with all of my shoes.

5 out of 5 starsLinda p.

Beautiful Boot!

I love, love, love these mini Craves! Awesome fit, quality made, excellent arch support. Super cute! I was concerned 37 would be to large but with laces to adjust they’re perfect

5 out of 5 starsCarol F.

These booties are gorgeous! They

These booties are gorgeous! They fit perfectly. The insole is a little harder than I'm used to, but it gives good support. There is space in the toe, so the toes aren't cramped.

Style and Support!

My new favorite bootie! Stylish and great arch support, which I need. Always been difficult for me to find shoes that work for my foot “issues”; these are a great find!

5 out of 5 starsGrace E.

Quality

I love these boots. They’re beautiful, well made, and super comfortable out of the box. I also have a 5 yr old pair of Crave boots in brown & am so satisfied with them.

5 out of 5 starsBecky H.

Gorgeous boots

These are beautiful boots. I had the green pair years ago and wore them constantly and literally until they wore out which was just last year. My only challenge is it seems the sizing is off from what it used to be as I’ve always worn a 39 and when I walk, they feel like my heels are slipping up and out the back. I realize this is a final sale so I will make the best of it because I love them but I’m a little challenged with the sizing. I do have ball of foot pain in my right foot and I haven’t worn them for a long period of time yet because of the slipping and our terrible winter.

5 out of 5 starsRobin S.

Excellent investment

These are my new go-to shoes. With Morton's Neuroma, I have custom foot beds, which I don't need with these boots.
