Taos Star Women’s Sneaker – Iconic Style with Canvas Design for Everyday Adventures – Custom Fit Lacing and Premium Removable Footbed with Arch Support for All Day Comfort

Cute AND comfortable AND well made! It doesn’t get much better!!
I am a scientist which means I spend a lot of time on my feet every day, and am required by safety regulations to wear closed toe shoes in the lab at all times. Since I just wear a lab coat every day I get to dress casually, but that doesn’t mean I always want to wear my athletic sneakers every day. I’m always on the look out for comfortable, versatile closed toe shoes that are cuter and more fashionable than athletic shoes. I have worn Chuck Taylor slip ons in the past but truth be told they’re too narrow for my feet and are uncomfortable for that reason. When I saw these I thought they’d be perfect! They’re simple but cute and offer a great deal of support and comfort without being too big and chunky. I have very high arches and LOVE the arch support these offer!! That is so rare to find in a shoe like this! They are well made, high quality shoes. There was very little break in. I had a little rubbing on my heel the first day and it took the tongue a few wears to be really comfortable on the top of my foot (with a no show sock underneath) but otherwise felt great right out of the box! I always wear size 8.5 and these fit exactly as expected. I love that the laces aren’t too long and I don’t have big ugly bows or tails to flop around when I walk. Sometimes I tuck them in the shoe so they’re not visible. Once you tighten them up they stay that way very well on their own without needing to be tied super tight. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and can definitely recommend these! I paid full price.

I’m in love already!
Update: We just got home from our Mexico cruise, and I can officially say that I love these sneakers! With the wrong socks, they do rub a bit funny on my pinky toes, but other than that they are awesome. The arch support is just right, they don’t slip off my narrow heels, and my feet aren’t in pain after a day of walking. Buy these shoes. I bet you won’t regret it!Original review: I normally only leave reviews after using an item, but upon the first try-on, I’m so glad I bought these! I have somewhat wide feet and narrow heels, so some shoes are too tight across the toe box, but most wide shoes are too wide and my narrow heel makes them want to slide off even more easily that usual. I also have plantar fasciitis and require decent cushion and arch support unless I’m cool with being in pain for the next few days. This combination of factors makes finding cute, comfortable shoes very tricky.Upon first trying these shoes on, I’m in love! The arch support is comfortable, solid, and actually in the right place for my foot, which can be hit or miss for me. I often find mens shoes more comfortable for this reason. These shoes could have better cushion in the footbed, but it’s not bad, especially in the heel, which is where I carry my weight when I stand. The insole I’m the toe area is pretty hard, though. This would actually have been a 5 star review if there had been just a bit more cushion in the insole. But these ones are still cute shoes that will look good with pants, shorts, and casual dresses during our cruise to Mexico. I wanted to look cute, but still be comfortable on shore excursions and walking around the port, and I think these shoes are exactly what I was looking for!I’ll update this review, for better or for worse, after I’ve worn them in and done a bunch of walking and site seeing in them. I’m definitely optimistic, though!

Great shoe for walking! They are worth every penny paid.
This is a great shoe with a surprising amount of arch support. I bought these in white and charcoal and took them both with me on my eight day trip to New York City, NY. We walked a lot as you can imagine, even running to catch the subway and these shoes never let me down. They were worth every penny and I wish I had them in every color.

Truly a versatile pair of simple sneakers
I love Tais for making comfortable stylish shoes with arch support. These aren’t meant for lots of walking as the sole is thin under your toes and ball of foot, but are excellent for running errands or hanging around home. I was surprised how well the blue floral design goes with so many outfits, they pair well with denim. I also like the ivory color soles and laces. They don’t get dingy looking & the floral pattern hides dirt. The shoes launder well in the washer, I just pull them out to dry in the sun. I’m very pleased with this style.

They are new shoes, but not in the Taos shoe box. It’s okay.

It’s my second pair… Super confortable and cute.Just love them.

So comfortable, better than Vans any day.
