Taos Plim Soul Lux Women's Sneaker - Soft Premium Leather Lace Up Sneakers with All Day Walking Comfort and Support

This style of shoes are classic and go with anything! They come in a variety of fun colors aside from the basics. The leather is beautiful! So soft! Almost no break in period. The toe box is roomy but the shoes don’t feel huge nor do they make your feet look big. Great removable orthotic inserts with arch support and antibacterial coating. I love these shoes so much I have them in white and silver, and considering buying them in champagne or pewter. Highly recommend!!

I love Taos shoes! These shoes in particular are an absolutely lovely color. They go with everything. They are comfortable but a little on the heavy side. They seem durable yet stylish. They have great arch support. The only negative thing I would caution is walking on loose gravel up or down a hill. The grip on the soles did not keep me from falling. The grip was too slick and the hill was too steep but fortunately the only thing hurt was my pride.

Ordered a 10.5 wide and felt true to size. Super comfy for people with high arches. The heels did slip a bit at first but I don’t even notice it now and I think wearing thicker socks helps. Very cute for summer and goes with everything.

I own two pair of plum lux, one brown and one white (and I just ordered a black leather).First, they are BEAUTIFUL. They are really high quality leathers and materials, and look amazing with any outfit, even skirts and dresses. It is because of these facts I give them 4 stars. They really are a great looking shoe and are very well made. That said, they are not at all perfect when it comes to fit and sizing, so I offer some ‘advance’ info on what exactly these issues could mean for the average buyer.Sizing: I wear anywhere between a 7 to a low 8, and a 37 to 39 (depending on brand). For comparison purposes I wear a 38 in Duckfeet, 37 in Birkenstock, 39 in VIBAe, 8 in Adidas, 7.5 in Sketchers, 7 in Converse. In THIS shoe, I chose a 7.5 for my brown pair, and a 7.5 wide for the white. I do not have a particularly wide foot but a fracture makes my instep slightly high and the ball of my foot is a little wider on the right. My feet are bony, but normal otherwise. My general rule is to go wide in less forgiving materials like firm leather, and regular width in materials with more give. I tried on the brown 7.5 in a retail store and they fit fine. After a few days, however, I decided my next pair would be wide so I could wear thicker socks for winter. I received that pair today, 7.5 wide in white. I cannot tell the difference between the regular and the wide. The tongue is stitched with the word ‘wide’, but there really is no difference that I can detect between a wide and a regular. I took the insole of the ‘wide’ out and compared it to the insole in my ‘regular’ AND THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE. If there is any difference, I can’t tell. Since the regular just barely fits me (a regular-width-leaning-wide foot), there is no way a wide will fit someone with a truly wide foot. ..at least not with the insoles that come with the shoe. More about this…Insoles:The insoles that come with the shoes are very nicely made with good materials but they have two major problems. First, they are HARD. There is so little ‘cushioning’ for the bottom of the foot that the bottom of my feet actually hurt at the end of the day and that is not a good feeling after spending $170 bones on a shoe.Second, they are far too high (hard, thick) in the heel for the depth of the shoe so this causes a very poor fit on the heel. This would be especially pronounced for a wearer with a narrow heel, or a taller person. Shoe slippage is no good, uncomfortable, and unsafe. In addition, the forefoot of the insole is so thin and hard that it’s uncomfortable.Solution:I removed the insoles that came with the shoes and use instead the insoles I love from my VIBAe loafers, and other brand good insoles. THE GREAT THING IS because the insoles that come with the shoe are so high, removing them and replacing them with another full-size insole (not toppers) is simple and allows you to customize the footbed YOU like for YOUR foot. There is plenty of room for your own insole! Of course, this is also an added expense if you don’t have another insole you like on hand. Plus, you paid for the insole with the shoe.The bottom line for me is that the shoe itself is designed beautifully and wonderfully constructed and look so fresh that I am more than willing to use my own insoles to make them “the perfect casual sneaker”. But that’s me.I hope you find the information helpful. I surely appreciate reading these kind of details when shopping. Enjoy!

super comfortable, true to size. Nice quality

These hurt my bunions. They not really wide. They are cute, and have good arch support but uncomfortable for wide feet. I wore them for a day (with no show socks) but they didn’t stretch. Also, they rubbed on the back. Frustrating.

Comfortable,holding together so far,time will tell if there quality made

Versatile, looks good with everything, great foot support
