Detailed Review
Design: The TOMS Alpargata boasts a classic silhouette that is both trendy and timeless, making it easy to pair with jeans, shorts, or dresses. The stormy green heritage canvas adds a subtle pop of color while remaining neutral enough for everyday wear.
Comfort: One of the defining features of this loafer flat is the Cloudbound sole, designed for enhanced comfort and traction. Coupled with the removable OrthoLite Eco LT Hybrid insoles, these shoes provide cushioning even during extended wear. However, if you are accustomed to more structured footwear, you may find the initial fit slightly different.
Fit: TOMS uses elastic gore around the opening, which makes slipping these on a breeze. This feature caters to those looking for convenience without sacrificing style. That said, individuals with wider feet might want to try them on first or opt for specific sizing advice.
Versatility: Whether you’re heading to the beach or meeting friends for lunch, the TOMS Alpargata can effortlessly transition from casual to slightly dressed up. The understated look works well across various occasions.
Sustainability: As an added benefit, TOMS prioritizes eco-friendliness in their production process, utilizing materials that reduce waste and promote sustainability. This commitment resonates with conscious consumers and aligns with the brand's ethos.

Great fit, color, comfort!!!
Very comfortable. Love the color
I love toms because they are light, comfortable yet sturdy shoes for spring, summer or fall months and are neutral for most outfits. They usually run tight at first but will stretch so order usual size. I’m normally a size 7.5 in sandals and 8 in closed toe shoes and i ordered a size 8.
Love the unique color but need more padding
Super pretty ombré sea pattern Tom’s. Purchased my usual size 8.5, but really had to squeeze and maneuver to get these on this time. The overall fit was ok once on. I’m assuming the shoe will soften and loosen. For the first time tho, these shoes hurt in the back. I could probably do a half size up knowing what I know now. I’m going to wear these around the house until they’re looser.
Very comfortable casual shoe.
They came super fast I was confused with the shipping information at first because they gave me two track numbers but at least I got them delivered and I really like them!!!:)
Says it's a mustard yellow in the pic and when I received them they were a fluorescent horrible yellow that I wouldn't be caught dead walking on the streets with. I'm stuck with them because you can't return them to khols.
