TaosStar 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

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.

At first I thought these shoes are great! I bought them for a 10 day european trip. I like that they have great arch support while looking cute, however, they lasted half a month. When I went to put them on post trip, I noticed they had already begun to tear. And not just separating the fabric from the rubber, but the fabric itself shredded, making it very difficult to repair. These shoes are far too expensive to last less than a month of regular wear and tear.

Love these sneakers. They look like Converse but offer much more support. I bought these for an upcoming trip to Europe where much walking will be done. These sneakers are super comfortable and stylish. I have plantar fasciitis on my left foot and the arch support on these is fantastic. Plus they look so much better than walking around in running shoes. I swapped out the laces for elastic laces so that I can easily slip them on/off without retying. I'm normally a 7.5 M/B but I did listen to other reviews and ordered in a size 8 and they fit perfectly, so they do run a bit small. Width-wise, they were perfect for me. I got them in the charcoal gray color and they're a deeper gray than what's shown in the pictures above, which I prefer.

I usually buy an 8.5 (us) in sneakers to accommodate a long big toe. I needed to order a 9. I was very frustrated, for the first two weeks, by the stiff laces. Getting in and out of these shoes was really annoying. Then I started looking for elastic laces, hoping that I could find some that didn't look like athletic laces. I could not believe my luck when I found the exact right type, and they even come in ivory! Now the shoes can be put on easily no untying necessary ever again. I re-laced them in a different way because I was on auto pilot, but liked it better that way. See photo for side-by-side comparison. So happy!

These are the best canvas shoes with arch support that I have bought and stylish, too. They fit a size smaller than marked. My size is a women's 9 and I bought the size 10 for a perfect fit. The 9 1/2 were still too small. Ditch the Converse and give your feet some love.

I was doubtful about ordering this sneaker... I am not a huge fan of atheltic shoes in general. Most are clunky and have way too many colors on them. I'm generally a sandal or barefoot girl. I have tried on a bunch of casual tennis shoes in stores and none of them have any sort of support! They're cute and fashionable, but flat inside.But, oh, this foot-bed! (Taos even states on their website, It's all about the foot-bed.) The curves and pods thingy rocks this shoe to a new level. I have had it a couple of days and am wearing them to see if wearing them long-term is the same as wearing for an hour or so. We have an upcoming trip this summer where we will be walking for hours at a time. I'm hoping this fits the bill.I usually wear an 8, but ordered an 8.5. I wouldn't have been able to get my foot in the 8, so I'm glad I did. I want to wear them without socks and they fit perfect that way. A few reviewers mentioned that the padded little tab at the top of the shoe rubbed their heel. I can feel it as well, but so far it hasn't made wearing the shoe uncomfortable or unbearable. I like these so much, I've ordered the Taos Dandy slip-on model as well in that cute, yellow floral print.

Love the fit, style and color. The arch support is great. Usually wear wides, but Taos doesn't make wides, so going up half a size makes these super comfy. I was able to wear them straight out of the box for the entire day, walking 5 miles and I had no problems.

I am a huge fan of Taos sneakers after purchasing the leather "Freedom" style in two colors last winter. I was so excited to see the same footbed in a canvas shoe online this year. They are exactly as expected; the footbed/liner is the best on the market----even better than custom orthotics, in my opinion. These are truly shoes you can pop on and go comfortably all day long. I am certain to be buying them in a few more colors. Do not hesitate to purchase these shoes.

I'm happy with my purchase. I ordered my usual size and they fit perfectly. Have had lots of compliments.
