Two Kinds of Sizes
Some Taos styles are marked in US sizes and some in European. The European ones each cover a half-size range, so a 39 fits a US 8 to 8½. Check the chart below before you order.
Taos Size Conversion — Women's
| Taos (EU) | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| US Women's | 5–5½ | 6–6½ | 7–7½ | 8–8½ | 9–9½ | 10–10½ | 11–11½ | 12–12½ |
From Taos's own size chart. The Loop, Sideways, Luckie, Crave and Trulie are European sized. Most other styles are marked in US sizes. Some come in wide, marked W.
What We Carry
Sneakers — Plim Soul, Z Soul and Heart & Soul
Canvas and leather sneakers with the Taos footbed inside. The Plim Soul comes in wide.
Sandals
The Gift 2 thong, the Super Z, Double U, The Show, Trophy 2, Perfect and Super Side, plus the adjustable Sideways and the Trulie wedge. Most have a soft, suede-lined footbed.
Boots — Crave and Mini Crave
Leather boots for fall, in the full height and a shorter version.
We also carry the men's Starsky.
How Taos Should Fit
- The arch of the footbed should line up with your arch
- Adjustable straps should hold your foot without pressing
- Your heel sits on the footbed and your toes don't hang over the front
- US-sized styles come in whole sizes. If you're a half size, try both
Why We Carry It
Taos builds real arch and metatarsal support into shoes that don't look like comfort shoes. That makes them a good pick for plantar fasciitis and sore feet when you still want something casual.
