TaosWomen's Star Burst Sneaker

This is my second pair of Taos sneakers in this style. I like that they are wide enough in the toe box, most aren’t. These don’t pinch! They look cute, even with dresses. They aren’t as cushioned as my athletic sneakers, but I think that’s what makes them cute and not clunky. I will continue to buy this style when I want a dressier casual look.

I’m tired of wearing my workout shoes whenever we travel or go into the city for a few days. But if I don’t and wear my cute Keds instead, I pay with increasing foot pain and very swollen feet.These shoes while super cute feel very different right away. They run small so size up 1/2 size, and if your arches are high you’ll need to loosen the laces. The footbed has very good arch support. I added heel pads because slight elevation helps minimize my swelling, and the footbed does feel a little hard at first. They feel a little heavier than the cute little sneaks I usually wear, but I got used to it quickly.I walked around the county fair all afternoon and logged roughly 300% more steps than usual. No swelling or pain! They are a stiffer shoe than I’m used to so I took them off for the car ride home, but my feet weren’t sore. I just need to get used to it. Also love that they don’t slip around on my feet at all, they’re firmly in place.Overall love these and will buy in other colors. Totally worth the price.

One of the shoe's front-toe area (the white rubber) is dented/not really factory perfect-- which is what I assume most Amazon sold products is: the B grade stock. Seeing as these shoes are on sale atm it's not really worth the return. I dont think people realize most products on here are most likely B grade stock, you get what you pay for.With that all said and done, I own another pair of tan/cloth Star Burst Taos shoes and loved the fact it was the only shoe I've found (at a salvation army no less) that could actually comfort and shape to my feet. I'm in my 20's, yet I have easy to displease crazy high arches, long toes, and a wide footbed... this is the first pair of shoes that legitimately feels comfortable and all day. Shoes seem to be made for everyone else but me.The shoes are true to size... I was worried and grabbed a Size 8 when I'm normally (depending on the brand) a 6.5-7.5. I normally hedge my bets with a 7.5, but being that this is online and amazon, I chose 8 in case... dont. Go with your true size. Even though they're too large, they'll be great with woolen socks come autumn, not worth the return because they're both slightly large in length and footbed area-- which is super nice if I want to wear thick socks: no angry side rubbing!As for looks, the wool is actually very, very nice. I have the dark grey with dark brown leather and it looks class. I have a lot of suede, cotton, and woven cloth fibered shoes, but I am absolutely loving this woolen texture. Especially given suede is a b**** to deal with even tho I love textured shoes.If you're looking for a pair of shoes to fit shapely feet, a nice, comfortable everyday vibed design, with unique fabric, these shoes are a star choice. (: (My other pair of Star Burst's have lasted longer than any other comparative designed shoe: think converse, keds, roxy, toms, etc.)

Very cute. Arch felt high at first but adjusted with a few times worn.

I love these, and for me they are true to size. I wore them to work right off the bat. I'm on my feet most of the day and they were GREAT!!! In fact I completely forgot I was wearing new shoes until the day was almost over! WAY more comfy than keds!
