I have three pair of Taos tennis shoes..primarily for the inserts. I use the inserts in all my other shoes. These tennis shoes are cute/fine. Basically a meds. The insert it's what sets them apart. The inserts in their other shoes are NOT the same. Disappointing. Their shoes sizes are crazy. In these I have to have a 9.5. In boots a 8.5. In women's dress shoes the 8.5 too small, the 9 fit. I was a 9 in all other brands.
