Z Soul

Stylish and comfortable

I have really bad plantar fasciitis and can’t find cute shoes that my custom made orthotics fit into. These already come with an orthotic that is similar to my custom made one. They are so comfortable, I can wear them all day long. And I love the zippers so I don’t have to retire them all the time!

Great shoes for bad feet! 😊

I love these shoes! I have Morton's neuroma and plantar fasciitis so finding comfortable shoes is next to impossible. I have been able to wear these all day with no pain! And I've also purchased some Taos sandals which are also some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever had!

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.

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!

Comfortable fit

Shoes are comfortable. Comes in a wide size. Supportive. I have to change out the arch support per my foot dr. I have plantar fasciitis and need an insert. This is my second pair. Great for casual shoe!

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??

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.

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.

Comfy and cute shoes

I have wanted to purchase a shoe with a zipper for a couple years now. I hadn't found one with a orthotic arch support in it until now. This is a great shoe! The fit and quality are worth the cost. They are so cute and fun to wear with different outfits. The arch support is comfortable and the size I purchased is a 9 which is my normal shoe size. I love the zipper feature that makes it easy to put the shoes on and take them off without having to untie and tie the shoe. What a great idea!

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.

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!

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!!

These shoes are amazingly comfortable.

These shoes are amazingly comfortable. I'm a teacher and I have flat feet and often have heel pain but I can wear these all day! Also, they are really cute!

Trendy and comfortable for older gals!!

Why didn’t I know about you guys sooner?? Absolutely love everything about these shoes and apparently so does everyone else as I get tons of compliments on them. To be 62 and complimented on my footwear because they’re trendy and stylish makes my day. But what also makes my day (at my age) is that my feet that don’t hurt (I have bunions, need good cushion and arch support) and ease of putting them on (the zippers are functional and cute). I bought these for a trip and wore them to the airport. I ended up putting a lot more miles on them due to changed gates and my feet never barked once. You guys are now my go to company for footwear!!

GREAT SNEAKERS

My feet are so “happy” when I wear these sneakers. I have a wide foot, so it is difficult for me to find comfortable and cute sneakers/shoes. The arch support is terrific. I have a high arch and these fit the bill.

Great fit and comfortable

I have high arches and am on my feet all day. These shoes are great.

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.

Great Shoe!

This shoe fits true to size. I love that it came in the 8W size. The zipper on the side makes it so easy to get in and out of. Very comfortable with good arch support and wider toe box.

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!

Perfect fit!

Love them! Perfect for my plantar fasciitis. Normally wear size 10 but needed 10W and fit perfect!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Amazing

Love these shoes! Comfortable right out of the box. I have a difficult time finding comfortable shoes with Morton’s Neuroma and these are perfect!

These shoes are so comfortable,

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Cute Shoe

These shoes are so cute. I left one star off because I think the shoe needs a better insert. It needs to have more cushion under the toe area. I bought the wide and they work great for bunions. They are not a long walking shoe. I bought another brand for that with a better heel support.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Quality, comfort, and convenience. I

Quality, comfort, and convenience. I have a high arch and the Z allows me to adjust the laces once and then they slip on zip.

Nice stylish sneaker

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

I felt the quality was

I felt the quality was good..I did order a larger size so I think they ran small but the size larger was perfect..I really like the look and color I have gotten compliments on both the denim and grey.. I like having a shoe that I don’t have to lace up because the zipper is convenient … I don’t like mules and I don’t care for most slip ons .. My Rothy’s don’t have the same arch support and my supergas are as comfortable. The new sketchers with laces that you step into aren’t as attractive as my z soul from the back…

Great shoes! May want to size up.

These are great shoes. Exactly what I was looking for. Arch support is good. I LOVE the zipper on the side for easy slip on. The charcoal color is perfect for Fall. I feel like they run a little small and narrow for my feet. I’m 5’3” & 110lbs with normal arches and average width feet. The fit is too snug, especially around my toes with socks, but are great if I don’t wear socks. If I order another pair I will size up.

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.

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.

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!!

Awesome shoes and company!

Awesome company, my initial pair had a problem with the sole and I contacted Taos and they took care of it immediately. They sent out a label and sent me a new pair. Great service, the shoes are awesome. Great arch support and super comfortable.
