Detailed Review
When it comes to choosing shoes for toddlers, comfort and style are paramount, and the TOMS Girls Mary Jane Flat in Rose Gold Metallic delivers on both fronts. The classic Mary Jane silhouette is both timeless and versatile, making it perfect for various occasions—from playdates to family gatherings.
The upper is crafted from durable textile, which provides breathability, essential for tiny feet that are always on the move. The D-ring closure with Hook and Loop fastening allows for a customized fit, ensuring that the shoe stays snugly in place during active play. Parents will appreciate the non-removable insole, designed to provide consistent cushioning and support as your child navigates their day.
One standout feature is the rubber outsole, which enhances traction, making it safer for toddlers who are still mastering their balance. Plus, the lovely rose gold metallic finish adds a touch of glamour, appealing to both kids and parents alike.
On the care front, these shoes are machine washable, so you don’t have to worry about messes. However, it’s worth noting that the non-removable insole might not be ideal for all foot shapes, as it could feel restrictive for some children. Additionally, sizes can sometimes be limited, so it's wise to check availability before settling on a pair.

Given as gift to niece as requested by her mother. Apparently this brand and style of shoe has been purchased by them before and was requested due to the size, fit, quality and adorable appearance of the shoe.
These are nice shoes— we’ve had the silver ones previously, and the sparkles actually make them sort of water proof. It’s pretty amazing. But the sizing in the purple style was huge! My daughter wears an 11, and I ended up having to exchange them for a 10, which she still had to grow into a little. I would go a full size down!
I looked for a pair of gold Mary Janes for my little girl for years. She had some as a newly walking toddler but it’s been tough to find another pair.When I saw these, no one ever had her size. She is a size 9, probably 9.5 now but there are not half sizes so I ordered her 10s and have been happy with them. Hers are a very light shimmery pink, not gold, which matches everything also.She seems to like them and they appear to be good quality.
They are so cute and comfortable my 2 yo didn't want to take them off. They are shiny in very cute way and most important soooooo comfy. we used them for a party but we will have a whole lot of use for them. The size by the way is for Toddler. True to size tho
Very cute but about a 1/2 a size bigger.
These are the cutest shoes. After having searched endlessly for the right fitting pair for my daughter who has wide feet apparently, these were the perfect shoes! The bottoms have great traction and the shoes are just so perfect for her!
So I ordered these for my 15 month old who is in a 5 but approaching size 6s. I got these in and they are pretty big. I still gave 5 starts because they are still very well made and will be perfect for her when she is in a 6 and I remember when my boy was little I had to size down for him but she is growing so fast I didn't want to do that for her. So I would say if you kid is on the fence in sizes and still in a smaller size to order the smaller size to start off with.
This is the 2nd pair of these shoes I have purchased. The first pair has been worn 4-5 times a week for 3 months and are about done, so not counting on long term use or handing down to next child. But they are Mary Jane’s with the feel of a tennis shoe and for this princess the sparkle is all important. Aside from the quality, another reason for the markdown is I ordered pink. The photo with the description is pink and several reviewers took photos of pink. The box I received says “raspberry” since raspberry isn’t one of the colors offered, it seems the company decided this was a suitable substitute. And their version of raspberry is not pink at all, it is sort of lavender. I can’t trust that trying to exchange them would give me the correct color, and my granddaughter won’t have a problem with “purple” sparkle shoes.Update: granddaughter did not like the raspberry color, she wanted pink. So tried reordering- Amazon shipped raspberry again. So I get to make a trip to the UPS store tomorrow with 2 pair of shoes and will not try ordering from Amazon again
