I really enjoy these Taos The Show sandals overall. They’re super comfortable right out of the box and feel like a step up from your average flat sandal. The premium leather is soft, the adjustable Velcro straps (on the forefoot and ankle) let you get a secure, customized fit, and they look stylish enough for casual outings or errands. That said, the sole isn’t as thick or heavily padded as I expected from a Taos shoe (they’re known for good support). It’s more on the moderate side with their signature Soft Support footbed and some cooling gel elements, but it still provides decent cushioning and stability. For me, with high arches, these offer enough support to wear them all day without pain, and they’re definitely more comfortable than basic flip-flops or thin-soled sandals. However, if you have really high arches or need aggressive arch contouring (like a true orthotic-level lift), these might not fully meet your foot—they don’t quite reach up into my arch the way some other supportive brands do. Sizing was a bit tricky for me. I normally wear a 9.5, and I initially ordered a 10 thinking I’d want room. They felt a tad loose and not snug enough, so I returned them and went with the 9 instead. The smaller size fits much better—snug without being tight—and makes them feel more secure and comfortable overall. One minor aesthetic nitpick: in my size, my toes sit closer to the front edge than I’d prefer visually (they’re almost at the edge rather than having a little overhang space), but functionally it’s not an issue and the fit is way better. The camal/ tan color is quite a bit darker than my skin tone but hopefully I will get some sun this summer and they wont contrast so much with my skin tone. Bottom line: These are a solid choice if you’re looking for lightweight, adjustable leather sandals with good (but not maximal) arch support and all-day wearability. They’re especially nice for moderate-high arches like mine. Highly recommend trying your true size or sizing down half if you’re between sizes—worth the exchange for the perfect fit! 4.5/5 stars.

I purchased this Taos the show shoes at a local high end shoe store. I fell in love with these shoes and have been wearing them everyday. They are so comfortable that I forget to take them off when I enter my house. I love how the upper and lower velcro straps will taylor to your feet. My feet tend to puff up when I travel. One can readjust if necessay throughout your hours of walking. I also like that the design is very stylish and does not look like your grandmother's ortho shoes. Once I fell in love with these shoes, I wanted to purchase another pair yet in a different color. The metallic Champagne color is very nice. There is soft arch support as well to accommodate allowing one to walk for many hours. The quality is top notch. These are costly shoes yet shoes that I believe will be worn for many years. Read more

Love the color! Arch support is great and fit is true to size for my size 11 feet. Very comfortable, can wear for hours without feet hurting. They rub just a bit where top strap touches front of ankle but that's not a deal breaker for me, I'm sure it'll break in. Classy and casual at the same time, I can see these being my go to sandals.

I am usually between a size 7.5 and an 8. These fit perfectly. Extremely comfortable and very cute! I will buy more in other colors!! The velcro on both straps makes the fit exact! Read more
I meant to submit a review before on these sandals. I love them. I wore these predominantly walking for two months throughout Italy, up and down cobble stone steps, then on a recent trip to Mexico. Comfortable, adjustable straps. These look so great with dresses, pants, shorts perfect versatile sandal. Buy these !! Read more
I'm giving this a less than superior rating because of the disappointment in the structure of the shoe. I previously ordered the Taos stye "Wonderful" and they truly were wonderful and so comfortable. I found them to be well made and provided the great support I was looking for so decided to order another pair is the style "Show" I started wearing them right away and noticed immediately they did not measure up to the same comfortable footbed that the other style provided. I'm sorry I didn't notice this before I wore them but after carefully comparing the structure of both shoe styles it is evident that the "show" is not as cushioned as the 'wonderful" nor does it match the characteristics of the "wonderful" style in the footbed. Very disappointed and now I can't return them. Sorry Taos you have jaded my first impression and doubt I will have confidence ordering another item going forward. Read more
