"I never bought Tom’s before as I found them so uncomfortable. Then I purchased a pair of boots, they were sooo comfy! My favorite everyday boots. So then I decided on these, as the return policy was great, I cannot believe how AMAZING & comfortable these shoes are! Not only that, I got the leopard print and they are very stylish! Thank you Tom’s!"
"I normally wear a size 10, but I’ve bought 9. 5 in Tom’s before. Then I bought these navy shoes and (9. 5) and they are loose. I really don’t think I could fit my foot into a size 9. I’m a little disappointed. I do like Toms product and I will keep these shoes, I just wish that the sizing was more consistent."
"Out of the 50 or so pairs I own, they all fit well except for this pair. Sadly, they are too wide and a bit too long. I have ordered the same size for all of them. I slipped on my brand new shoes and couldn’t keep them on. I don’t like to send things back, so will try insoles. Maybe they will help. Disappointed this time. Not a bad score. 1 out of 50 ish."
"I hope this style is a permanent addition to the Toms family, love the shape and they are so comfortable! Just wondering if I should have ordered half a size bigger as they’re a little bit short for me - hoping they wear in."
"The size is very off. I have owned countless pairs of toms, always in the same time. These arrived and are HUGE. as I am in Canada I cannot return them, unless I pay for shipping and restocking. Those costs will equate to more than the price of the shoes. I am now out the money, and these are not cheap shoes"
"Ive always worn size 8. The shoes arrived and too big. I returned and asked for 7. 5. They arrived and too wide. I did not care for the print. Definitely looked "stamped" on plus this shoe did not have the traditional "Tom" look and design. Looked cheap and not the quality."
"These shoes are exactly as pictured. The textured material is stylish and functional for dressing up or down. Unfortunately the shoes run a little large. I always wear a size 7 (including in other Toms shoes) but could definitely have sized down at least a half size if not more."
"I bought these in the natural color so I could wear them with everything in my summer travel suitcase. I decided to size down a half size and I’m glad I did. I was wearing them around the house and was disheartened to feel them rub a bit where the fabric hit the top of my right foot- funny story though- upon closer inspection I realized the packaging was still in the toe! So be sure to remove the cardboard toe inserts before wearing ;) I think if I’d purchased my usual size it would have been too big to stay on my foot with each step. The cushion in these soles is incredible! So much squishy absorption! I think I may wear them for my day at Disneyland they are that cush! And they are so cute and feminine. The color will go with everything- these were a terrific purchase!"
"These Alpargata Ballet shoes look particularly beautiful with skirts and dresses. The shape and lower cut add a dressier touch to my collection."
"I decided to try out this new design from TOMS and I love it! It gives the same feeling as their classic design but in this super cute ballet flat form. Definitely will be purchasing it in the pink~ The only thing is they are a little longer than the classic style and a little narrower at the toe box so just keep that in mind!"
