Taos Super Side Sandals Review: Water and Foot-Friendly

I may have received the Taos Super Side sandals from Taos Footwear, but I can say in all honesty, these are as wonderful as I say in the video.

If you have forefoot pain due to metatarsalgia or hallux rigidus or midfoot pain due to arthritic changes, the Taos Super Side sandal is a must try.

The hook and loop (velcro) straps allow for a customized fit and are lined with soft, waterproof neoprene. No blisters for me! The forefoot straps conceal the bunions nicely and don’t come undone.

The chunky outsole provides stability and support. The arch support is perfectly placed and feels great. It also keeps the foot from bending too much through the stride, protecting those forefoot and midfoot joints, tendons and ligaments. And yes, they’re good for hallux rigidus big toes.

The footbed provides cushioning but not that marshmallow-y memory foam feeling, rather a firm cushion that revives tired feet and puts a little spring in the step!

My sandals are all dry and ready to go again today after a wet hike near the river last night!

The fit is true. I normally wear a size 10 medium and the size 10 in the Taos Super Side sandal fits perfectly (I’d size up if between sizes). Available in whole sizes 6-11 for $140 from Taos Footwear, Amazon and Zappos.
