"Love the stylish look of these sneakers - AND the great arch support. I broke them in on a marathon IKEA shopping trip, and even those concrete floors were no match for them. The color blocking is sharp - even the ends of the shoelaces match the color scheme! Very pleased with my purchase."
"Unfortunately these shoes run very small and do not fit. Because they were a clearance item I am unable to return, which is my fault . Perhaps note on the picture that they run small. I had ordered sandles just prior which I loved that actually ran big."
"I ordered these shoes because I have a lot of foot pain and I was so impressed with the Z Soul sneakers and the Gift 2 sandals I purchased. I wore the Z Souls on a very active, 2 week trip through Scotland and Ireland and had zero pain. Plus they're super cute! That prompted me to buy the sandals, which have also been very comfortable and easy style for all my summer outfits. I purchased the Direction shoes to replace my Altra walking shoes, which were killing my feet. The first pair was defective (the right shoe was visibly narrower through the toe) so I returned them for a replacement. The second pair is still a little tighter on the right toe, but much more comfortable. The returns process was very quick and easy. I size up a half size on all Taos shoes."
"I have worn TAOS sandals for years but never purchased any of the closed in shoes. Very happy with these and they should be perfect for an European trip, with cobblestones and slippery surfaces. Good length, width and arch support. Appear very well made as other TAOS products."
"I love these shoes I put them on and went shopping they were very comfortable. I bought them for my Paris trip so hoping they are great there!"
"love this shoe, just what i have been looking for, looks cute and also I appreciate that the heel fold down."
"I bought this pair specifically for my travels to Portugal 🇵🇹. Easily packed and fashion forward sneaker. I am able to work out and walk about in them. I also like that is a slide, lite and not bulky. The arch support is good."
"Style and construction is good but no arch support. Fit a bit big. Could not wear all day due to lack of padding."
"I found Taos sneakers late in my plantar fasciitis journey. After spending hundreds (if not thousands of dollars) to fix it, these shoes have been the answer! I feel like I gained back some of my freedom!"
"Love how they look, great arch support. Sides of heel could have more structure."
