Ultimate

Perfect walking shoes

Great support, comfort and great toe box for bunions. You can walk all day with comfort.

Flat-feet-friendly

I have large, flat feet and overpronate, which really limits my options for cute shoes. I am so pleased with the arch support in these mary Janes and they are comfortable to wear all day long! My only wish is that the strap closure was made of something other than velcro, as it will be the first part of the shoe to wear out. For the price point of this shoe, it should be an actual buckle/more durable closure.

SO COMFORTABLE

I have a number of problems with my aging feet, and these are so good for them! I don't need an additional insole for support and the toe box is wide enough for my toe separators. Yay! They are as comfy as my sneakers are (and my sneakers have orthotic insoles).

Great red shoe

I had plantar fasciitis a few years ago, so now I wear only special shoes for the problem, anyway, I wanted a more colorful shoe for the winter for skirts, dresses and dress slacks. Saw these shoes so got them, arch support is great love the box toe. They are cute and I have had many complements on them. Even though I love the shoe, I really wish That they would take the time and make a shoe that was a bit more stylish for an occasion dress wear a little "bling" would be great. Would I buy them or another color again? YES I would.

Lovely MJs!

I love these! Haven't bought MJs in a while, but made the leap and am glad I did: they're quite fun and elegant, super comfortable, and very supportive (love the high arch support!). As some have said, the back does rub against the back of your heel a bit; I'd wear socks with them until they break in. They fit tts: I tend to be between 38 and 39 and went with the 39s on these (based on reviews). Perfect! If they go on sale, I'm buying another pair!

Roomy toe box

It’s really a pleasure to wear shoes that are constructed to accommodate wide feet due to bunions and the need for arch support. I have the black and the merlot.

These shows, I am very

These shows, I am very happy to say, were super comfortable. I out them on out of the box, wore them for five hours without any discomfort. They have good arch support, the toe box is nice and wide. They’re a very nice color as well.

So beautiful!! And these mary

So beautiful!! And these mary Jane’s are so comfortable just like my first pair of black leather ultimate shoes. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my feet are slightly deformed and these shoes are perfect! I just slip my orthotics in and I’m good to go. I am pain free and I look stylish! That’s the very best combination!! Thanks Taos!!

These quickly moved to one

These quickly moved to one of my most comfortable shoes. Which is no easy task- it takes a LOT of searching and a LOT of break-in time. But out of the box these were AMAZING! I have a very wide foot, narrow heel and high arches. These shoes accommodated all three of these issues. I love them and the green color is the perfect shade for “coloring just a bit out of the lines. “ I’d buy them in more colors if they weren’t so terribly expensive.

So cute, and so comfy!

These are my new closed-in teacher shoes! I’ve been in Georgia for a year, and I know can’t wear sandals all year, even in Hot-lanta! The leather is a beautiful color, the souls look super cool, the arch support is unmatched, and I have high arches, the detailing at the top is unique, and I got to buy them with my FSA card! I’m thrilled is not enough of a compliment!

Cute and supportive

I like the looks of these shoes and the fact that I can wear them with so many different things. They are well made with nice arch support. I’m still trying to figure out if they’ll work with my orthotics replacing the insole (feels snug) or if I can get by with the insole in the shoes. They are a stiffer shoe, so taking a little getting used to.

Great shoe!

Right out of the box and these shoes feel great! The wide toe box is wonderful for my bunions. Many of my Taos shoes have run narrow in the toe box, so these were a fantastic surprise! The Merlot is a nice neutral and will wear it with everything this fall/winter.

I bought these shoes because

I bought these shoes because I have a neuroma and this style offers plenty of room in the toe area. I do wish the leather was a bit softer above the toes and the footbed offered more padding between my foot and the ground. I am very happy with the arch support.

All day comfort

These are very comfortable to wear all day long! They offer excellent arch support so my feet aren’t tired and aching after a long day of teaching.

Absolutely worth the price. These are super comfortable, have good arch support, and are quality leather.

Beautiful color & So Comfy!!

Quality leather, quality shoe, great arch support & so comfortable. 😄

Good shoe-I hesitated because of

Good shoe-I hesitated because of the cost but I have plantar fasciitis and they work for me nicely with no discomfort. They are casual enough to wear out with jeans but nice enough to wear to work with dressy work clothes. The Velcro strap helps to adjust the comfort and it seems solid. I have only had mine a few weeks but so far I enjoy them and would consider again. As I age and have the resources investing in good shoes that will last is important to me.

Love my shoes!

I've tried many Mary Jane shoes, but this is the first pair that fits my odd foot and is comfortable! I have a bunion on each foot, but the toe bed is wide enough to accommodate it, and the cut of the toe covers--doesn't cut into--the bunion. I have narrow heels, but the shoes do not slip or leave gaps, probably because of the nice, wide strap. As other reviewers have said, the back of the heel digs in some, but I wear a band-aid, and it's fine. I've worn the shoes outside twice (once with thin black socks and once with no-show shoe socks), and they've been comfy the entire day. I am sure that as time goes on, I'll no longer need to wear the band-aids. Though most people will probably wear them without shoe socks, my feet sweat and can easily get blisters. The shoes are very cute, and I may buy another color! They can be worn with jeans, pants, and dresses.

Beautiful & comfortable shoes

I love these, they have been comfortable from day one. The leather is soft and the color is gorgeous. I have high arches and have worn these almost every day since buying them, no rubbing or blisters. Totally worth the money.

I have Morton’s Neuroma and

I have Morton’s Neuroma and rarely find a pair of closed toe shoes that work. I’ve worn these a couple of times and find them comfortable. The wide toe box is perfect! I am impressed with the quality of these shoes.

I love these shoes primarily

I love these shoes primarily the red color but they are comfortable for sustained walking. I put an orthotic inside there is plenty of room but the footbeds that come with the shoe are high quality

Perfect shoe for me!

The toe box is deep and shaped like my feet! The forefoot cushioning keeps my Morton’s neuroma from hurting. The arch support! Great! The flatness works well. Just a great shoe!

Comfy arch support

I have high arches and these shoes are perfect as I segue into the fall & winter - can wear with dresses, skirts & pants

So comfortable and plenty of toe room

The toe box in these is amazing. My foot is medium- wide in the toe area and I have plenty of room in these. I usually purchase a 10 in Taos and the 41 are perfect. I've always struggled with flats (too narrow and not enough arch support) and love the support these provide. My only complaint is that the Velcro seems pretty cheap for the cost.

So comfortable

Extremely comfortable and supportive right out of the box. I wear size 9 and have a wider foot; however, I had no issues with this shoe.

It is very comfortable and

It is very comfortable and has a nice wide toe box with good arch support. I love them!

Very comfy for the most part

I love these shoes and plan to keep them. They feel good as far as support goes. But I have the same problem with sizes with every shoe I buy. I measure as a 10.5 but the 10.5 usually only allows barefoot or extremely light socks to fit. If I size up to 11, the shoe is much too long even with a thick sock. These shoes rub on a bunion on one foot but with a sock it is not uncomfortable. The Forest green is really nice and matches so many Fall colors.

Fun shoes!

These shoes are comfortable and stylish. They help make any outfit fun and cute. I can walk in them all day without foot pain and the color is especially festive for Christmas, although I plan on wearing them year round.

Comfy and cute

Love these. They don’t bother my bunions are cute and so comfortable! Fit true to size for me.

So comfortable right out of

So comfortable right out of the box. Great for bunions and low arches. Lots of complements!

Ultimate style

Beautiful shoes. I would have loved to wear them, but although they felt very supportive under my arch the footbed was far too wide for my narrow feet, and the left shoe was a tad too short. Sorry to return them. I’ve exchanged them for another style.

Love these shoes!

These shoes are perfect in every way! The style and color are fun! The fit and comfort are the best parts!! They have great arch support and plenty of room in the toe box.

Best yet!

Absolutely love these shoes! Perfect fit ! Great arch support! Comfort from the first. Lots of Complements and people wanting to know where they can get them!!!

Very cute shoes in a

Very cute shoes in a versatile style. I like the wider toe box and great arch support. The shipping was quick.

Comfy and stylish

Love the soft color and foot cradling comfort of these shoes. I could wear them all day right out of the box!

Comfy and cute - Taos has great arch support.

Style very cute - a bit of a "nerdy" look but cute. Very comfortable. Would love them in navy.

perfect comfort

this is a really comfortable shoe that provides good arch support and looks nice too...

Great comfortable shoe I will

Great comfortable shoe I will have for years. Toe box is roomy for splay and wearing socks. I will wear orthotics with them

Well constructed Support

So happy with the Ultimate Mary Jane shoe. I have flat feet and this shoe with its extra support in the foot bed is great

A Cute Dressier Shoe

I bought these mostly for a Halloween costume, knowing that I would wear them more than just for my costume (I've been needing a slightly dressy shoe). I love the arch support. They are just as good as my other Taos shoes despite the fact that they are flats. I found that they were true to size, but if you plan on wearing them with thicker socks they are a little tight in the toes. They fit perfectly with tights. For my costume, these went with a dress, but they would also look great with jeans or dress pants. I'm very happy with my first pair of dressier Taos shoes!

Supportive and Easy Walking Shoe

This is my second pair of Ultimate shoes. I love the dressier style of these shoes and the colors. . . I have red and blue. They are just right for dressier occasions AND they are a dream to walk in. I wore my latest pair all day right out of the box.

Excellent arch support. Super comfortable

Excellent arch support. Super comfortable on toes. I have two pairs of these. I did have to wear in the heel a bit on both pairs, but they are totally worth it!!!!!

Incredibly comfortable

I’m very glad I bought these. I need arch support and wanted shoes to where to work that are supportive, comfortable and attractive and these did not disappoint.

Comfortable footbed

Very comfortable. Some issues with blisters on the heel, I wish the Velcro was able to make them a bit more narrow- I’d love a real buckle! Good support!

Size is accurate, arch support

Size is accurate, arch support great, and the color is beautiful. I wore them all day on day one… so comfortable.

So comfortable! Cute shoe that

So comfortable! Cute shoe that provides good support all day long.

Love my new shoes!

I have very flat feet. On recommendation of the podiatrist, have worn tennis shoes for the past year. I’ve had good luck with my tennis shoes from Taos, so thought I would give these shoes a try for a more dressier look. I wore them to a wedding; they were wonderful! Excellent support and looked great. Thank you Taos.

Loovvvveee!

I am a 32 years nurse. Lots of feet problems. Injections, surgeries, lots of pain. This is the only brand that supports my arches without added an orthotic. I own 6 pair. They are always stylist which keeps me coming back. Most comfort shoes are to old lady looking.

Worth the money

I'm not sure I've ever spent so much on a pair of shoes before, but thankfully these do seem to be of good quality! I had to return the first pair I bought and go up a size (I'm usually an US 8 or 8. 5, but the EU 40 ended up fitting much better than the EU 39) and both pairs I received had very small scuffs or scratches, but on the second pair I easily buffed them out with shoe polish. The arches are nice and high, which feels supportive on my flat-ish feet. My orthopedist likes the Taos brand as well so I think she'll like my purchase. Plenty of room in the toe area and despite have very narrow heels, they're staying in the right place when I walk. I think they'll continue to get more comfortable as I wear them.

Endless Comfort!!!

I simply adore these shoes and how they make me feel even when standing and walking 12 hours per day, 5 days per week as a teacher! I NEVER seek to slip on a pair of slippers as they are 110% comfortable! They provide excellent balance which was completely unexpected! My posture feels "different" in a most positive way! Less knee and back fatigue for certain! I have an affinity for Mary Jane styled shoes which is what guided me to TAOS initially else I would never have found this phenomenally crafted shoe. Beyond superb customer service as well! My only wish? A deep rich brown option. . . I would buy two pairs instantaneously!
