Customer Reviews Taos Footwear Ultimate

I have the World's Worst Feet. Hallux rigidus and no arches. Shoes that don't make matters worse are really hard to find. These are wonderful. The arch support is fantastic and they have a nice wide toebox. The adjustable velcro gives a snug fit and they are super cute. Yay.

I love this shoe, except it runs very large. Especially in length. I could stuff the toes or add a heel pad to get by ok, but ordered the next size down to compare. An outstanding shoe. Plenty of toe room, soft and smooth inside w/good arch support. The heel is a bit on the wide side too. The leather is great quality and the sole is outstandingly firm w/cork added. The only thing I might would like to have changed is the strap across the top to be a lot slimmer which is rather wide but holds the shoe nicely in place. Very much a top quality shoe, just runs quite large for me. I have bunions and halux ridgidus, spurs, arthritis. These shoes were very comfortable. Delivery was pronto! Thank you Zappos.

Leather felt comfy and soft, but it was too wide for my narrow foot, and given the style of shoe there is no way to adjust for the width issue, so sadly they have to go back.

As soon as I put these on, I knew they were the winner. Comfortable, sturdy, plenty of room in the toe box, and cute.

These shoes run large in length, but I have short toes and this has been a problem for me. The shoes wanted to bend at the wrong place and the heel on the right shoe almost rubbed a blister on the heel in a matter of minutes. I have halix ridgidus, bone spurs, arthritis, facisitis and wide forefoot and more narrow at heels. These shoes are comfortable w/excellent arch support, soft and smooth inside and are made sturdy but look very nice on the feet. I wanted them to work so much for me. The leather is high quality and beautiful.

Super cute shoe. Just wish they would have made 1/2 sizes. I could have used a 9.5. Disappointed because they are adorable and comfortable… if I had that little extra space. The 10s were way too big and wide. 9s just a tad small.

In my usual size these are a bit too long for my feet. However, the width feels right, so I think the next size down would be too narrow. If only Zappos had them in a wide!

They fit beautifully, but I can't walk in them — the heel counter comes up too high, and digs painfully into my achilles tendon with every step.

I LOVE THESE SHOES!!! They check all the boxes for me - comfortable, good support, and stylish. Cute with both pants & skirts. Also very stable for balance. As for sizing, I usually take an 8 or 8.5 in Taos shoes. I read about others saying these run large. My hope was I could order size 8 and they would be roomy enough to accommodate my hand knit wool socks. This worked. My only complaint is the price. If they were more affordable I’d get more colors.

This shoe is exactly what I have been looking for. However, when I tried it on I was disappointed that it wasn't wide enough. I texted the company and their reply was it doesn't come in a wide width. Bummer!

I bought these to wear with wide leg and lantern leg pants and they have a cute clunky vibe. The wide toe box is the best! I have a bunion on one foot and they seem to be ok although I'm wearing a bandaid while I break them in. The leather is a little stiff but seems normal for new shoes.

They feel nice right out of the box. I got the 8 based on reviews that said they run large. Normally I am a EUR 39 or 8-8.5 in other shoes.

These are so pretty and lovely and feminine (a Mary Jane never disappoints!) but also seems super comfy as a practical walking shoe. Nice arch support and rare good wide toe box. The gray is beautiful, but will show scum marks. I will probably order the black instead and try an 8. Online the size option is a 9, but on the shoebox it says 9-9.5 I guess I would call it a roomy 9 but that might partly be the wider toe box But the velcro straps give some control over the fit though/reduces heel lift when walking.

These are adorable and I wish they weren’t so expensive because I want them in every color. They are well made though so I get. When I hit the lottery, 365 days of Taos.

I really loved the style and shape of this shoe although it was too narrow. I called the company and they don’t make a wide width. There are people who need to wear a wide width so I wish they would reconsider.

This shoe is very cute and I wanted to keep it. However, the side of the shoe cut into my ankle.

Beautiful shoes, width was perfect but I have narrow heels and they slipped so I will not reorder.

Very cute, loved the Forest color. Returning because they don't feel supportive enough, especially through the arch.

These shoes are beautiful & made very well. Foot support is excellent! Unfortunately for me.. the side of the shoe hit my ankle bone - so disappointed b/c these were super cute!!!

Great shoe construction from Taos but felt way too big. In Taos sneakers I wear a 6.5 but this was marked in European size 37 which was the recommended size. Way too big in length and width.

I love the style and footbed of the shoe. Unfortunately the 6M is not long enough and it is too tight in the toe box.

I liked the shoe a lot but it was so big. I was unaware they ran a bit big. I had to return them. Seemed well made and this style Mary Jane was adorable.

I think these shoes fit (wide enough...long enough...nice roomy toe box)...but they were incredibly uncomfortable. I could hardly walk in them. I think the issue was the VERY stiff inserts. They made the shoe so it didn't flex when I took a step. The arch also hit my foot in the wrong spot. I'm returning them.

Too wide, too heavy, too ugly

I am giving this rating because I ordered this shoe in two sizes and received both in sizes that I did not order. So sad that Zappos is no longer a good company. I am returning both and buying the shoe elsewhere.
