Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Prize 3

Quality seems as good as ever, but I'm disappointed in the newest redesign. I have ordered 4 pair of these over the past few years. The oldest ones are much more comfortable and have far better arch support than any of the more recent ones, the footbed definitely has been redesigned over the years. All the older ones look dressier and less 'clunky', on the newest ones they have wrapped the thick black rubber sole up much higher around the entire edge of the heel, it used to be a narrow black edge like the rest of the shoe, with about a 1" wide bit of black rubber coming up all the way on the very back edge of the heel.

I have been buying this shoe over and over for years. I have the worst feet...hammer toes, bunions...and even "comfy" shoes are never comfortable for more than a few hours tops. I have worn these and walked 10 miles several times and my feet never hurt. They're my #1 go-to casual sandal.

I love these sandals! I live in Florida, so typically I can wear sandals 365 days a year. As a rule, I live in Birkenstocks. When I saw these sandals, I thought I’d give them a try. So glad I did! They are cushy soft, stay on easily without having to ever grip my toes, and they look amazing. I’m picky about shoes and comfort, and I’m getting ready to order another pair!

I have a narrow foot and no fat pads so I always need extra cushioning and adjustable straps. These shoes fit the need wonderfully, and pretty too!

I ordered the Nude sandal in this style. The Zappos recommendation in the question area suggested ordering down 1/2 size, if your regular shoe size falls in the middle. Normally, I wear an 8.5 Narrow. I ordered an 8, and the fit is perfect. Thanks to the adjustable straps, I can make the fit as narrow as needed. Good purchase.

Looks like a fabulous shoe. It runs larger than my usual size. If you have a bunion, the front strap catches right on top of it and becomes immediately painful.

These remind me of a Ramika sandal in my closet. Fit true to size for me. Foot bed is very supportive, with just the right amount of cushion. There is no arch support for my uber high arches... and this is why they went back.

I usually wear a size 9.5 In these Taos sandles I needed a size 10, the size 9 was a bit short and narrow. For summer foot expansion I felt more comfortable going with the 10.

After returning another brand of sandals I ordered the Taos Prize 3 (first time with this brand.) I love this sandal. They are extremely comfortable, stylish and exactly what I needed to run around in. The coins going up into a t-strap give these sandals a Grecian feel. I bought size 8 and I am a true 8 1/5. They fit great. The blue color is really nice and very tonal. Definitely recommend.

These shoes are wonderful and look even better on than in the pictures. I ordered 10M in pewter and the fit is good. My usual size is 9.5W or 10M/W; ordered these in 10M since the straps are adjustable and there was no 9.5. They fit well in width and the length is only about 1/3 inch longer in front than ideal, so not a problem.

Very comfortable, attractive and quality made shoe. The straps are easy to adjust for a perfect fit. I'm usually a size 7 in a sandal and the 37 is just right. Will wear these a lot this summer.

I usually order a 9 in most sandals. The 9 was perfect. If you are between an 8.5 or 9, go with the 9. The 3 straps have adjustable Velcro with a nice range. This is a well made sandal and very comfortable. Worth the price.

I really like these shoes. I have owned the prize one ,two and now three. I will say the arch support was better on the 1 and 2. the adjustable straps are great. I have a bunion and the strap fits right above it , so very comfortable. I also overpronate and the third strap falls right across the arch , so it gives additional support. There is no break in period at all. I am still wearing my old prize sandals, I just use them for the beach or pool, and keep the newer ones for everyday wear. These sandals last a long time.There is a moderate arch support, as I said, not as great as previous versions. But the heel cup does help.

I can't believe how comfortable these sandals are. I have difficult feet with neuromas at the base of my middle toes which can flare up if I wear the wrong shoes. I practically live in Spenco Yumi sandals, but those are orthotic flip flops and I wanted something dressier with more style. I recently saw Taos online and ordered the Prize 3 and the Trophy in my regular size, 6M. Both fit perfectly, were comfortable out of the box and were flattering on my feet (Taos has great neutral colors). I like these Prize 3 best because of the more cushioned footbed and fully adjustable straps. These are the most comfortable shoes I have bought in many years. I suspect they would be too wide for a narrow foot because they fit me well and my feet are a bit wide.

Beautiful shoe styled as described. Same as other Taos sandals from the past. Straps allow adjustment to fit my narrow feet.

These sandals are super cute and have a lovely, luxurious feel on the footbed. However, the foot bed was too narrow for me, and I had to return them. If your foot is slightly wide, I wouldn’t recommend this particular sandal.

Fit was good. Never bought into the Taos line but the sandal is perfect with dressy and casual attire. I like the adjustable straps. Wore them for 6 hours straight with no problems.

I love Taos shoes and sandals. I own 10+ pairs of Taos and for the style and price these sandals were in the style and color that I have been looking for. I have plantar fasciitis and had foot surgery and have a narrow foot and these sandals provide excellent support and the fit is just what I need.

This is my second pair of this style of Taos sandal and I absolutely love it. I even wear them walking. They have excellent arch support and my feet do not slide in them. Well worth the money.

Soooooo comfortable! I can’t stop wearing them. Perfect support and feels like you’re walking on water. Love the adjustable width.

I love all my Taos sandals and these are no exception. They were comfortable from the start. I particularly like the adjustability of the width with the three velcro straps. I purchased them in pewter which is a dark silver with a hint of bronze-a good choice.

This is my second pair of Taos sandals. They are fantastic for my hard-to-fit foot (wide forefoot/regular width heel), and very comfortable for my arthritic feet. You'll not regret this purchase!

In hiking and running shoes, I usually wear a 12, but in sandals and most other shoes, I usually wear an 11. For that reason, I would have normally ordered and 11 in this Taos Prize 3 sandal, but I read it ran a little small. So I ordered the 12. Sure enough, the 12 fits me perfectly. I have a narrow heel, a slightly high instep, and a wider (but still in the realm of normal width) front part of my foot. These Taos Prize 3 sandals fit my heel and instep perfectly, and are just a little (comfortably) snug around the front of my foot. The straps are all velcro, so I could loosen them a hair if I wanted to ... but I don't want to. I've been wearing them for 2 days now with no break-in required and no discomfort in any area.They're very cute. I got them in the white color for a nice summer sandal. Most white sandals look huge on my size 11-12 foot! But these ones look perfectly cute and normal. :) I recommend them.

These were perfect. They are comfortable, and stylish. Great versatile sandal. Goes with a lot, so less shoes to pack.

Very nice shoe. I do have problem feet and with these I can tolerate them all day.
