These are really comfortable shoes. This is my second pair of Taos with this same foot bed and I will continue to buy them. They have good arch support and are good for walking long distances. I haven't had any issues with rubbing or blisters with either pair I've owned. My last pair lasted me 3 years and I wore them daily during the spring and summer. They are really well made and with good quality material. The only downside is that they can start to stink after a while but cleaning the foot bed on occasion helps immensely with this.
