"I’m having a hard time finding the right fit for these very cute shoes. It seems also to be exacerbating my arch pain and heel pain. Additionally, because they’re high tops and leather they rub against the ankles in an uncomfortable way."
"Very nice and comfortable sneakers that seem to have been made to last. I love the ease of the zipper in high rise shoes. I purchased the white ones too right after."
"I was worried as I’m a big fan of the union but these are just as comfy and I have wide feet. I put them on for work and forgot I had new shoes on."
"So disappointed. Firstly they are so stiff and inflexible my feet were torn to shreds after a few minutes wear. Second, I don’t feel there is much arch support. Don’t know how I’m going to make them wearable."
"These sneakers are so comfortable with the built in arch support and look so stylish"
"I had the thinner sole version of these before and loved them, and because Taos doesn’t sell those anymore, I purchased these thicker soled ones expecting the same comfort. These are NOT comfortable. They dig into my ankle, are incredibly stiff, and don’t feel like quite the same arch support. I’m really disappointed about this purchase, especially since they cost nearly $200. Not sure what happened to the fit and quality here. It’s an expensive bummer. :/"
"Love these shoes. These are my third pair of Taos shoes and won’t be my last."
"Pain in my feet ceased immediately when I started wearing these. I didn’t have to “break them in. ” They’re also super stylish in my opinion. Worth every penny."
"Love these! I have narrow feet with high arches and had been getting foot pain prior to buying these. I just wore them 3 days in a row walking and standing on cement and no foot pain/soreness. So grateful. They are true to size length-wise, but may be too narrow for someone with a wide foot."
"My mom loved these. She thinks they are the most comfortable pair of shoes!"
