Taos Shoes Sizing & Comfort Guide

Start with your usual size, then check whether the Taos style uses U.S. or EU numbers. Our Banter flat and Big Time sandal use U.S. sizes. Trulie uses EU sizes: women's U.S. 8-8.5 is Taos EU 39.

Need a closed shoe with half sizes? Start with Banter. For sandals, Big Time has a lower heel and plain leather straps; Trulie has woven straps and a cork midsole. Both have a back strap. Their pictures and prices below make it easier to choose before opening the size selector.

Taos women's U.S.-to-EU size chart

Use this chart for EU-sized styles such as Trulie. For Banter and Big Time, use the U.S. options on their product pages.

Women's conversions from Taos' Trulie size chart

U.S.	EU
5-5.5	36
6-6.5	37
7-7.5	38
8-8.5	39
9-9.5	40
10-10.5	41
11-11.5	42
12-12.5	43

These are size conversions, not our current stock. Taos does not publish exact foot-length measurements in centimeters or inches in its sizing support answer. Use its model-specific advice and the fit of the pair, rather than a centimeter chart borrowed from another brand.

Pairs to compare

Do Taos shoes run small?

Taos' sizing support recommends your normal size, or sizing down if you are unsure. That is a starting point, not a guarantee for every foot and style. For an in-between fit, Banter offers half-size options; Big Time uses whole U.S. sizes, and Trulie's EU chart groups U.S. half sizes.

For Banter, fasten the V-shaped strap and walk indoors. Check that your heel stays comfortably in the shoe and your toes have room. In Big Time or Trulie, settle your foot on the footbed before adjusting the straps. Keep your heel and toes within its edges.

A longer size does not solve every width problem. Taos offers selected styles in wide fits, marked W; check the exact size and width option on the listing. The strap adjustment changes the hold over your foot, not the width of the sole.

Buying Taos for your own insert?

Banter's footbed is removable, so it is the pair to start with among these three. Try your own insert in the shoe and check that you have enough depth and a comfortable hold around the heel. Removable footbeds are a model feature, not a promise that any insert fits every Taos shoe.

Another color, or a different shape?

Like Banter but need another option? Compare Black and Caramel Banter in your size. For sandals, stay with Big Time or Trulie if you want a back strap. For an open heel, choose the Perfect toe-loop sandal at $149.95.

Sizes and colors change as pairs sell and new stock arrives. The product selector shows what you can order now. Our Taos buying guide helps you compare styles, while Birkenstock versus Taos covers the difference in underfoot feel.

Fit and buying questions

Does Taos use U.S. or EU sizes?

It depends on the model. Our Banter and Big Time listings use U.S. sizes; Trulie uses EU sizes. Check the options on the product you are buying.

What is a Taos women's EU 39?

Taos' women's chart maps EU 39 to U.S. 8-8.5. EU 38 maps to U.S. 7-7.5, and EU 40 maps to U.S. 9-9.5.

Should I size up in every Taos shoe?

No. Taos' sizing support recommends your normal size, or sizing down if unsure. Use that starting point with the exact model's size options and an indoor fit check, rather than applying one size-up rule to the brand.

Can I remove every Taos footbed for an orthotic?

No. Banter has a removable footbed, but removability varies by model. Check the shoe's depth and fit with your own insert before deciding to keep it.

Is Big Time a slide or a back-strap sandal?

Big Time has a back strap, a padded back collar and two adjustable closures. Trulie also has a back strap. For an open heel, compare the Perfect toe-loop sandal.
