I don't think these will be walking shoes for me either.

Thank you so much to all who shared their experience with this brand. Yesterday I returned the too-small suede pair and was happy to find that the size up actually worked reasonably well. I decided I didn't care for the suede, but took home a pair of Taos Star sneakers in white with some nice tan stitching. </p> <p>For now they will be "at home" sneakers. Once they've broken in a bit and I have a better idea of how well they really work for me, I hope to add another pair or two in other colours.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now I am on the hunt for a couple of white seaters to bookend the new sneakers -- one maybe just a sweatshirt and the other maybe something a bit boxy in a loose-ish knit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-on-taos-sneakers#post-2140753 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 14:09:15 +0000 CarolS 2140753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPATE: I can't get the cantaloupe pink sneakers locally, so I started by ordering a different pair of Taos sneakers from a local retailer to test the size and fit in a way that would allow for a local in-person return option.

I have average to wider feet. They are comfortable and robust. I have found one pair is rubbing me on the little toe (after 2 months of comfortable wear) but I think that’s just one of those things that will go with time. I like the zip for easy on and off. It makes you never want to go back to a pure lace up sneaker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-on-taos-sneakers#post-2140275 Mon, 24 Aug 2020 17:19:25 +0000 Angie 2140275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taos boots are VERY popular with my clients - good Seattle shoe! Fits a range of foot types. So I have high hopes for their sneakers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-on-taos-sneakers#post-2140156 Mon, 24 Aug 2020 01:15:08 +0000 Anonymous 2140156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've not tried them, but have wider (AA) forefoot and very narrow (6A) heels, so transitional shoes are always problematic!<br /> From their site, all of their shoes looked Much wider in the front than heel- so I'd say it's worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-on-taos-sneakers#post-2140141 Mon, 24 Aug 2020 00:02:02 +0000 CarolS 2140141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really encouraging, ChristelJ. Thank you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-on-taos-sneakers#post-2140137 Sun, 23 Aug 2020 23:25:16 +0000 ChristelJ 2140137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been about 3 years since I bought my Taos sneakers, but for years I bought a variety of other styles from them because they fit my wide forefoot and narrow heel so well. I find them to be very good quality. I have a fairly flat arch and the sneakers I bought had a more aggressive arch than my older Taos shoes did, so I had to take out the footbed and replace it with a different one. I have the impression they have gone to a higher degree of arch support in general than they used to have, so the brand no longer works for me, but my experience with them was always good in the past. I walk a lot and they held up really well and were comfortable. These you are looking at are very cute. I know what you mean about shopping for shoes online. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-on-taos-sneakers#post-2140136 Sun, 23 Aug 2020 23:15:48 +0000 CarolS 2140136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Nemosmom! This is really helpful.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-on-taos-sneakers#post-2140135 Sun, 23 Aug 2020 23:10:06 +0000 nemosmom 2140135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these Taos sneakers and really like them. They come with a very supportive insole, that actually was a bit TOO supportive at first. I found my foot would cramp after wearing them a short time. But, once I broke them in, they were fine. The insoles are easy to remove, so don’t let that be your only deterrent! </p> <p>I have narrow heels and a wide ball of the foot, and they fit fine - no heel slip at all. They are well-made, and I like the extra details that make them different than other fashion sneakers. I would buy again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-on-taos-sneakers#post-2140121 Sun, 23 Aug 2020 20:36:53 +0000 CarolS 2140121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know a few of you on the forum have the Taos Crave boots, but does anybody have experience with Taos sneakers? I am in search of a fashion sneaker that can accommodate a wide forefoot/narrow heel combo. Eccos would be my first choice but they just don't seem to fit quite right anymore. I think I"ve heard Taos are pretty good, so was perusing their website the other day and found these&nbsp; cantaloupe-coloured cuties -- upon which I am currently crushing.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.taosfootwear.ca/collections/active/products/z-soul?variant=31709752918070">https://www.taosfootwear.ca/co.....9752918070</a></p> <p>Any experience out there with fit, arch support, etc would be much appreciated.
