text: Having already 9 pairs of Taos shoes, I felt I couldn't go wrong with these shoes. Of these 9 shoes, 6 are size 42 and 3 are size 41. So, I bought one of these shoes in a size 41 and one of these in a size 42. The problem? The 41s were very snug on my toes and the footbed was narrow. Ok, so I'll try the 42s, whoops, these were much too roomy (though still narrow in the toes). Trying to figure out the problem, I compared footbed inserts of these size 42s with my other 42s. Result: these were about 1/2 size longer. Long story short...sadly both had to go back. Also, it had a weird high arch support in both that made my feet lean inward.
