Mini Crave

Cute and Comfy

I have problem feet - flat, arthritic, wide toe box, narrow heel. So, I wasn’t sure these would work, but I think they’ll be great. I’ve only worn them around the house a little, but with my custom orthotics they are quite comfy. And, they’re so cute. I bought a wide for the toes and the heel is loose, but that’s a “me” problem.

Great details and well made

It was love at first sight when I saw the Crave Mini. I had been looking for a short, fashionable, laced boot for a couple of years. The design is really outstanding, as is the craftmanship. Many reviewers noted how comfortable they were for their high-arched feet and some noted the comfort for their plantar fasciitis. I have both of those issues and found the insoles, while supportive, did not provide the kind of cushioning I expected. With feet like mine, I expect some tinkering might be necessary, so I tried a Taos insole from my canvas Plim Souls. That was a bit better, but not great. Not willing to give up one these gorgeous boots, I kept trying and finally found a combination of over-the-counter insoles that supported my arches and heel and had enough cushioning to make them comfortable for walking. Spending over $200 on a pair of boots is an investment and because I so love the style and quality of these boots, I was willing to invest another $20 to find the right insoles that worked for my feet. I love these boots!

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.

Great stylish boot

I have bone spurs and have had plantar fasciitis. I was concerned these boots wouldn’t work for me. I wore them for short periods with no problem. The test was at a dog show where I’m on my feet all day on a concrete floor. No problems at all then, later at home or the next day. Worth the price

My favorite addition to the Crave line!

I bought the mini crave in black and wore it all around my fall trip to Ireland. I have plantar fasciitis and this shoe is so supportive and comfortable that I was able to walk everywhere with no pain. I loved it so much I bought it in red when I returned.

Awesome shoes

Bought the black, comfy right out of the box. I have bad knees plantar fasciitis and these shoes feel great

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.

I love Mini Crave boots

I bought 2 pairs of the mini crave shoes!! I absolutely love the comfort support color and style. these boots are the best boots I have ever purchased, and I wear several pairs all year long. I have several feet problems such as bunions and arthritis and have no pain wearing my mini crave!! My feet CRAVE me to wear Taos Mini Crave boots!! Thank you so much!!

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.

Best boots I own!

These were super comfortable from the moment I put them on! I have wide feet and always have trouble finding shoes and boots that are both wide and have great arch support. Taos is where it’s at!! Their sneakers and these boots are pretty much all I wear! Just ordered a second pair of the Mini Crave boots. Buy them- you won’t regret it!

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

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

Look and feel so good

I got these Mini Crave in black, and they are just too cute. I have high arches and typically have lots of foot pain but not with these. They hug my feet providing support in all the right places.

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!

Mini Crave

These boots look great and have good arch support. So far I have only worn them in the house because they are very stiff and I'm worried that if I wear them for too long when away from home I'll have sore feet afterward, but I do like the way they look and I want them to work out! I normally wear a 10 and these are 41 and fit correctly.

Love them!

I love these boots! I have a hard to fit foot - very long and very narrow with high arches. I’m between a 10-11 and almost always need a narrow. I bought a 41 and with medium weight socks, they fit perfectly. I also have skinny ankles and was able to tighten the laces enough for comfort and support. Now I want another pair. . .

I love these boots! It

I love these boots! It only took a few hours to break them in, and as usual, they fit perfectly. I love how Taos shoes have such consistent sizing. I don’t believe I’ve ever had to exchange any (and I have several) . I used to wear orthotics all the time, but now with your arch support, I do not have to invest in them anymore.

I have arthritis in my

I have arthritis in my arches and was hoping for a bit more arch support. Overall, these boots are wonderful. I wore them on vacation and was pleasantly surprised by how little my feet hurt at the end of the day. I would recommend these to others in a heartbeat.

Very cute… make my feet

Very cute… make my feet look smaller!! I wore them right out of the box and they comfy all day!!! Left bunion and all!!

Excellent quality and fit

Runs true to size I were a 7 1/2 always and it was perfect. Comfortable to wear all day no matter what you’re doing. Get many compliments each time I wear them. The width is also comfortable. I have a bun and find them very comfortable and can’t say that with a lot of boots or booties. I recommend these highly. The color of the heel looks very nice with the black leather. Very stylish. I hope this helps because I usually don’t leave reviews unless I feel really good about the product. This is definitely 5 stars. I’m also 71 years old and look and act much younger than my age. My daughters and granddaughters want some of these. 😊

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

So Pretty, So Comfortabe

Love my new Teal Mini Craves. Taos footwear is my go to brand for my arch support and relief for my painful big toe joint arthritis. And these boots make me smile every time I wear them.

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!

Cute and comfortable

Love these boots! They are cute and comfortable; I often have trouble with shoes being too narrow, but the toe box is perfect. I am taking these as my "dress" shoes (along with my hiking boots) on my next trip!

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.

Great Boots

These boots are super comfortable and I love the arch support. They keep my feet warm in freezing weather.

These boots are wonderful. Great

These boots are wonderful. Great arch support, fit and the leather is awesome. More wide widths please!

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!

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!

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.

Lots of compliments

Taos is one of the few brands I can wear because of bad bunions. The wide in these boots are perfect. (I have two pairs) And even better, these cognac mini craves got so many compliments on a recent trip.

Beautiful color. The leather quality

Beautiful color. The leather quality is top notch. I do use an orthotic insert which inserted nicely. I am extremely happy with this boot.

Nice! Removable insoles are great

Nice! Removable insoles are great because I can fit my orthotics! The wide shoes are great for my toes but a little wide for my ankles.

Best boots ever

I was eyeing the crave boot but wished it came in something shorter. Alas, there it was. . the mini crave! I took a screenshot, circled the color (black) and size, sent it to my husband and they showed up in time for Christmas! I love them and want to wear them every day; they are that comfortable and worth the high price. I can feel that they will last a LONG time. I typically wear a size 8 and sometimes an 8. 5, so the size 39 is what I went with. They fit perfectly! I do not have wide, nor do I have narrow feet, so I’m not sure how that would affect the fit. I am going to save up for another pair in a different color because these boots are the best boots I’ve ever worn!

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 :-)

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.

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.
