These shoes are so comfortable!

These shoes are so comfortable! I have chronic Plantar Fasciitis so I was worried about the cork foundation. But it doesn’t feel hard at all. The sandals provide needed arch support ans stability and feel very soft on my feet. I’m getting another pair in black!

5 out of 5 starsShannon F.

So comfortable!

I have Plantar Fasciitis and I purchased these shoes in hopes that they would help my feet when I'm at work. Thankfully, I think they have. Perfect arch support, cute design, and good quality.

Sideways

Love these! Favorite sandal by far! However I wear an 8. 5 typically so I had read some mixed reviews on true to size or runs small so I went ahead and ordered a size up . Recieved them and they were toooo small . I was like dang I really could use a whole size up from here so I sent them back and reordered the 10. 5 They came quickly and they fit great. I feel like I have a super high arch because I still have a gap between bottom of foot and insole but since the top of my foot sits up so high I like that I can adjust the top strap And they are so light and comfortable its like being barefoot in which I love . I accidentally poured water on my feet on 2 separate occasions and I panicked so I dabbed off what I could and then set them in the sun they dried perfectly I read you are suppose to use a wax lotion on them for fading or scratches so I haven't had the need for that yet I will prob wax them before putting them up for winter . These have been easily my favorite sandals probably ever . The only negative I have is that I would love to wear them while I tinkered with my container gardens and bird feeders but i would hate to ruin them doing so so thats the only time im not wearing them if I am going to be wearing a sandal. I also have a couple pairs of the tennis shoe and I ordered those a half size up and they are perfect and awesome shoes as well I just throw them in the washer and air dry and they come out like brand new I am so glad I found a shoe with high arched people in mind that's also fashionable.

Happy to find these comfortable sandals

I have a lot of foot achiness related to high arches and morton's neuroma, these are really comfortable, I haven't experienced the foot fatigue I usually get after a couple of hours on my feet. Really glad I tried Taos.

Beautiful Sandals!

I love these sandals! The leather is beautiful and soft, the footbed is comfortable and I like the arch support. They fit nicely and I like that they have adjustable straps! I would definitely recommend these sandals. 👍😊❤️

Supportive Sandal

This cute sandal is comfortable right out of the box. Moderate arch support and adjustable straps for a good fit.

These sandals are worth it !!!

I don’t usually do reviews …. . but these Sandal cost me a good penny, and I’ll admit, I was skeptical about them. I have a bad foot with a bunion on it and shoes really hurt my feet after being on them all day. How ever - these are SO comfortable! All day ! I wore them to Disneyland for two straight days and my feet were so good! I’m just going to say, if the price is holding you back like it did me, they are worth every penny !!! I wear them everywhere. I don’t get hip pain, or sore feet. They are actually pretty cute too. Do your future self a favor and just buy these today! It was the best decision I made in awhile. No regrets at all.

Nice shoe

I have difficult feet and I am finding that I need more arch and metatarsal support as I age. Plus I have a bunion on my left foot. The footbed is very comfortable. Hurts my little toe on my left foot but with a bit of stretching this is improving. Happy with my purchase. Great quality.

5 out of 5 starsMartha F.

This is a very comfortable

This is a very comfortable shoe, except it does not accommodate bunions well. By the end of a day of walking the bunions ache as the straps do not accommodate the wider width caused by bunions. These are very attractive shoes, could you offer them in a wide width?

Great Sandal

The sandals have great arch support and adjustable straps along the instep and back. The left sandal side strap kept slipping backward so I stabilized it with a spot of crazy glue - much better. Overall it is a great sandal. I normally wear a 39 but had to go to 38 for a perfect fit.

5 out of 5 starsGail V.

New stylish favorite!

I liked the style when I saw this online. Great arch support, quality leather and I love the adjustability. They fit comfortably right out of the box.

I’m really loving them so

I’m really loving them so far! I was worried at first because the first time I wore them they were a bit uncomfortable. But after breaking them in for a few days they’re great. I have pretty flat feet so I think it took a bit for my feet to get used to having arch support ;). But they’re such a nice style and very supportive. I would definitely recommend them!

5 out of 5 starsAmy A.

I have very flat feet

I have very flat feet that pronate inward and these sandals support my feet like no other sandal I’ve tried. I’m also narrow in width. For me they’re the perfect combination of support and cushion. The ability to tighten the straps from two angles is perfect for my narrow foot. Thank you, Taos!

Great Shoe!

I purchased my Taos Sandles at Ballard’s of Blue Ridge, in Blue Ridge, GA. Great shoe! I love the foot bed. Very comfortable for all day wear and walking. If you have issues with your feet, I recommend giving Taos a try. They’ve corrected my feet issues. No more foot pain.

5 out of 5 starsSusan V.

Cute and comfortable sandals!

This is my second pair of Taos sandals and I love them. The color is exactly as pictured and the fit is true to size. Finally, a pair of sandals that are comfortable for my high arches!

Love the comfort after a short breaking in period for the leather, good arch support, runs true to size

They are absolutely beautiful sandals.

They are absolutely beautiful sandals. I am quite disappointed in the lack of arch support as this what prompted me to buy the shoes. Granted I have high arches so this sandal will work well for those that don’t need the support.

Happy Feet !

Love the soft leather - wore out of the box!! My feet have had 3 surgeries, bunion /30 years as a nurse - took its toll. No pain- bought two !!! Covers the bunion too!

5 out of 5 starsCathy S.

Cute and comfy

I was apprehensive due to reviews about the knot hurting people’s feet. These are fantasticly comfy. No break in time. I wore these in Las Vegas in 104 degree heat and walked 10,000+ steps every day. These kept my feet perfectly comfy. Great arch support which is a must for my 66 year old feet. Wore them with shorts, dresses, and linen pants. These are chefs kiss perfect. Highly recommend.

Nice Shoe. As Pictured

They are just as pictured. Nice support, good quality. I had to return them because the toe box was not adjustable and too wide for my 6.5 (37) foot. The price was high, but overall a nice shoe if they fit your feet. They ran true to size except the toe box. They might have worked but at the price point, I didn't want to chance it.

5 out of 5 starsKatherine W.

cute,comfortable and supportive!

had been enjoying the shoes for a couple of weeks, but yesterday worked in them for 8 hours mostly standing and walking. I took my sneakers in case I needed to put them on for support, but my feet did not get tired and looked cute for whole event

I love these shoes!! They

I love these shoes!! They are super comfortable. I have more of a narrow foot so I was worried they might be too wide but they fit perfectly. With the two straps, you can cinch them down to your liking. They also go well with most any outfit.

So far finding this to be a very comfortable shoe with great arch support !

I love them! I had

I love them! I had foot surgery to repair a tendon in my arch in the past, so my feet are very tender and wear out quickly. I bought one pair of boots to start with, and since then, I have purchased 3 more pairs of Taos sandals. I absolutely LOVE all of them!

5 out of 5 starsNancy D.

Sideways

I’m an older woman with osteo arthritis and many of the brands of shoes I typically wore are no longer comfortable and just hurt my feet. So I tried Taos.

Comfy sandal!

I have bunions and these sandals are still comfy! And stylish.

Great for Guys!

After months of searching for men’s sandals that balance comfort with style, I opted to forgo gender norms and look at women’s sandals instead. It’s hard to find a men’s or woman’s sandal that balances style, comfort, and functionally. But this shoe was a winner in all three categories out of the box. Nice enough to wear to dinner, but utilitarian enough to wear walking day to day or on old city streets. The materials is top notch, and the fit was true to size using standard European sizing, so a size 43 “women’s” shoe and a 43 “men’s” shoe is interchangeable. I’ve gotten plenty of compliments on them, and design of the shoe doesn’t strike folks as overtly feminine. I liked these so much I bought a second pair in another color.

My dream sandals!

What a great sandal! I bought several pairs of Taos sandals, Show, Trophy 2, MVP, and Sideways and these were the clear winner for me with my bad knees. Really pretty sandals, super cushy, great support, and I feel like these will only improve as the cork soles adapt to my feet. One tip, there are some people having trouble with the straps not being long enough. All I did was adjust the straps along the side, pulling it a little to lengthen it and then I had plenty of room to close the Velcro strap. I wear a 9. 5 slightly wide and the size 10 was perfection. These are wonderful and I hope you’ll like them too!

5 out of 5 starsBecci H.

Buy them! You will love them!

I have had the brown pair of these sandals for a couple of years and I loved them so much I had to buy the black! So comfortable, right out of the box! Most of the time, with other sandals, my feet hurt by the end of the day and I’m swapping them out for my tennis shoes, but not with these! I also have skinny feet so the Velcro straps help them fit perfectly! Hands down my favorite shoes in my closet!

5 out of 5 starsMerete E.

Wry comfortable shoe

I never get tired of walking in it and I absolutely love the toe box design so there is finally enough room and my toes are not crowded together. It is also a sleek design. I hope you start making shoes with this kind of footbed. I’ll be first in line to get them.

5 out of 5 starsKimberly

I absolutely LOVE these sandals. The color goes with everything. I wear a 7 1/2 and these fot wonderfully. The footbed is so comfortable and I can walk all day in these. This is my first pair of Taos and im ordering another pair asap!

Super comfy. Just seems like

Super comfy. Just seems like quality is not fully aligned with price. There are a couple of noticeable defects: very worn leather spots and uneven leather edges by stitching that highlights black underside.

5 out of 5 starsTerri G.

Stylish and comfortable

Very comfortable sandal. I love the look and Taos shoes are all so supportive. I do agree with other reviewers that the top strap could be longer but I think the leather will stretch over time.

4 out of 5 starsMelissa J.

Comfy. Not as much arch

Comfy. Not as much arch support as a Birkenstock, but more than many other sandles .

5 out of 5 starsTina I.

Comfortable and great quality

I love these sandals. Very supportive for the arch and well made.

Beautiful, well made, comfortable design

Beautiful, well made, comfortable design - I opened the box and was assailed by that amazing smell of good new leather shoes that took me back to my childhood! You know that smell! Anyway, I digress 😜 These sandals were almost a perfect choice for all occasions and clearly top-notch, so the price point would have been justified…. but sadly, they were too tight and a little small (you can get away with a little small in open sandals, but the tight aspect started hurting my feet immediately so…) I even kept them for a few days to really make an informed decision because they are THAT beautiful (not worn outside but just tried on a couple times on carpet) but ended up returning them 😢 I might add the return process was also flawless; quick easy and friendly. Great shoe company, beautiful sandal. I’m marking the size ‘true’ because it’s not the show’s fault I have fat grouchy feet - this sandal would have fit perfectly when I was younger.

4 out of 5 starsKimberly S.

Nice sandals

These sandals are very comfortable now that I’ve worn them a few times. My foot is a bit wider than average so they were a bit tight across the front of my foot. One thing I’m not loving is how easily the leather is scratched/scraped. This leaves the straps looking not super great.

5 out of 5 starsJacqueline

You will love these!

I have these in the lighter brown and the navy color. I took these on a trip to Portugal and literally they were the only shoes I wore the entire trip. Super comfortable and super cute with dresses, shorts and jeans. Worth every penny!

4 out of 5 starsMargaret G.

Beautiful sandals

I just started wearing these today and I’m still trying to figure out how to adjust the straps to my comfort level. The quality of the sandals is above average! They are quite comfy, stylish and the sole has great grip!

5 out of 5 starsThayer K.

Nice enough to wear with

Nice enough to wear with dresses or skirts with great foot support, even cuter with shorts. Comfortable without breaking them in. Pricey but worth it for the great footbed. I’m happy with my purchase.

5 out of 5 starsJudy J.

Fun, supportive & cute.

Cute shoes that fit great. I need lots of support for my planter fasciitis. My foot doesn't slide around which helps keep my feet from hurting. I also get many compliments for these cute red shoes.

5 out of 5 starsAshley B.

Style Meets Comfort

I bought these instead of replacing my old Birkenstocks. They are very supportive and comfortable, yet very cute and can be worn with a dress or casual jeans. These were an excellent purchase!
