User Reviews
I love TOMS, simply because of how darn comfortable they are. No, these aren't sport shoes with lots of grip and support. I would never wear them while riding my motorcycle. But as a stylish, comfortable shoe for every day use? You can't go wrong.I personally find that TOMS fit pretty well. I normally wear a size 8 or 8.5, and I get my TOMS in a size 8. They start out feeling a little tight, but soon become molded to your feet. They're like your favorite pair of socks, but with soles on the bottom!The only downside about the Classics are their lack of durability. I find that TOMS classics will last me about a year before they're simply too worn out to wear anymore. The sole wears down pretty fast, the heel section of the insole wears away (I walk a bit heavily on my heels, though), and the toe area of the shoe gets blown out. As I said, mine usually last me about a year, and that was while I was at college walking everywhere in them.
These shoes are soooo comfortable. They’re like wearing slippers in public, but look basically like a standard shoe.I normally wear 14 in mens, they only had 13 in the kind I wanted so I tried the 13 and they did actually fit just fine for me. So the sizes may be a bit big.Zero complaints. Love my pair.
Great shoes!
TOMS are a comfortable shoe in general, but they always run BIG. I have purchased 3 pairs of TOMS in 3 different styles. I wear a size 12 in most shoes, but I was told to size down some for these and that is good advice. I purchased some 11.5s in a slightly different slip-on style and I couldn't even get them to stay on my feet. These are a little loose but better. The problem for me is in the back of the shoe. I seem to have a narrow back foot and heel. They fit perfectly in the front of the shoe.
Perfect for a beach day
Comfy as heaven. As a lazy college student who can't always find time to wear socks and who hates stubbing his toes wearing sandals, these Toms are the real MVPs. They slip on and look pretty good. I bought a size 10.5 because that's my normal shoe size, but they were a little too big. However, it wasn't hard to shrink them by wetting the fabric part and then letting the shoes dry in the sun, and then they fit pretty well. They start to smell if you've walked in them long enough, so if you don't run a marathon in them, you'll be good. It's been 3/4 a year and they're still in good condition.
The Tom shoes are a great pair of canvas shoes which are super comfy and feel great on the feet. I would suggest buying a half size bigger than your actual size as the 9.5 I bought fit snug on the foot and I'm a size 9. That being said they seem to stretch which would happen over normal wear & tear, but I would definately recommend these shoes to anyone looking for comfort and style as well.
The shoe shown in the description was not the shoe that was delivered. The shoe with the elephants on the interior, which is shown in the description, and which I had owned previously, has a firm sole, but the ones I received had a soft, spongy sole that was very uncomfortable.
