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.

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!

Excellent style and comfort.

The wide size is good for bunions and neuroma. The shoes need a bit of breaking in. The side zipper is stiff and the heels chafe in the beginning of wear. The arch support and padding are excellent, as advertised.

Luv the style, adore the comfort!

Luv the zipper! These r so stylish! I have 3 pairs of these. I have a light floral, a reddish maroon floral and snakeskin. I get more compliments on all of my 6 tennies that I own. The other 3 don’t have the zippers but have very cool color schemes. Most importantly is the comfort and support. The fit and the arch support are done so well and I really thank Taos for this. I appreciate u big time as a company. I can wear these all day and I have fibromyalgia (muscle disorder), a ton of nerve pain from stenosis throughout my entire spine. I also have a ton of osteo arthritis in my legs, hips and feet. These support my body and help with keeping pain at bay. I can go for long walks and do so much on trips all day and just everyday activity. I luv these so much because I don’t have to wear the normal orthopedic footwear that is ugly as heck. I am a fashionable 65 year that can feel good about the support I am getting but also the style I get to have. Even though I have 6 tennies, they r all canvas, so now my wish list includes leather. So yes, I’m still not done with adding more Taos to my closet! Thank u for what u doTaos. Keep up the extraordinary work.

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 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 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.

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!!

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.

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

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 arch support. Looking forward

Great arch support. Looking forward to being able to walk all day while on vacation. I’ll buy more styles with this insole.

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.

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 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 .

These are exceptional quality. And

These are exceptional quality. And super comfortable. I’ve had to adjust my shoe preferences for plantar fascitis and these give me the look I want and the comfort I need.

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.

Great style and comfort

Love everything about this canvas sneaker. Great arch support, cushioning , and although they are canvas, they feel almost like a suede. Especially rich looking because I got the honey brown shade. And a must for me was the zipper. Once you've owned sneakers with a zipper you won't go back…so easy and quick and the laces are always perfectly tied. I was a bit disappointed to see they were made in China.

Wore these for 12 hours on day 1, so comfortable!

Got these in the Carhartt brown color and love them! They fit true to size, the zipper is cute and a nice solid construction of metal. The zipper is a bit stiff and sticky, but functional and comfortable on the side of the foot. Toe box is nice and wide. The arch support is superb and I have found my new shoe company! Will definitely be buying more from them!

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.

I really like these. They

I really like these. They run a tiny bit longer then the Plim Soul shoes that I bought also. I have found them very comfortable and to have a great arch support. I would prefer to be barefoot, but my different foot issues make that a bad choice now. These are the shoes I can wear all day and my feet thank me for it!

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

Comfortable and cute

Really comfortable and cute. I love the side zipper. Makes it easy to slip on. Great arch support. I wear these to work - I'm a teacher and I'm on my feet most of the day. These will be really useful for an upcoming trip I'm taking. Great arch support.

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!

Kicky youthful shoe

I love the casual canvas shoe! It screams hip and high quality while giving comfort with arch support to carry you through the day of doing whatever you are doing. Taos footware rules for comfort and style! ❤️❤️

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.

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.

Nice stylish sneaker

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

This is my second pair

This is my second pair of Taos shoes. They are super comfy and have great arch support. I took one star off because the zipper on the left shoe keeps getting stuck, making it very hard to zip when on my foot, which is a huge bummer because I chose this style particularly for the ease of using the zipper to put shoes on. I loosened the laces thinking that would help, but it still gets stuck half way up. I have adjusted to keep it halfway zipped when I put it back on, but I wish I didn’t have to do that, considering the expense of the shoe.

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.

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.

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!!

Stylish sneakers

Love the color, style & arch support. Side zipper adds style & ease of putting on & taking off sneakers. Only con: a bit too heavy. But a keeper, they were comfortable right out of the box!

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.

Love my Taos sneaks.

Great fit, good quality, and great arch support. Taos is my “go to” brand for both sneakers and sandals. The side zipper allows for ease of getting on and off.

Z Soul Comfort

These stylish shoes are not only cute but provide the arch support I need. The fit is great. I can walk in comfort and style all day long.

Great comfortable and stylish shoes

Love my Z Soul shoes, vibrant color, fun side zipper and great arch support. Lots of compliments when I wear them.

Great for travel

Great for traveling through airports. Arch support is a great fit for me. Love the style.
