User Reviews
I read reviews to size up and because I’m going to New York and will be doing a lot of walking I thought my feet might swell and so I better do what some were suggesting. I’m sad that I have to return them because I love them and wanted to wear them right away. But their just to big. I wish there was 1/2 size for me but I’m pretty sure I’ll be ok going a full size down. They are lite, beautiful and I feel the cushion in the soles will be wonderful. Can’t wait to get the right size. I reviewed it as sized right because I think their exactly what they say
I love these summer weight shoes. The insole is so comfortable. I wore them all day the first time with no rubbing or blisters, great colors for summer!
I love this shoe but I wish they would make it wide. The overall reviews suggested ordering 1/2 size up because the shoes ran small but they don't. They're just swim and the size up gives you more with but the length is true to size.
Very cute shoe but they run very small - hard to get my foot into shoe and when I did they feel very tight. Size up!
I purchased a size 9. These shoes run at least a 1/2 size larger.
Loved the style but did not fit
Item arrived right away!Looks exactly like the pic!Beautiful fit and very comfy!Used it on vaca where I walked a lot and didn't feel a thing!Great item!
I'll start off by saying normally I Love Tom's shoes but these are so stiff at the heals they caused blisters. I had to buy blister protectors and line these shoes with them. I've never had that experience with Tom's before so it was very disappointing. I'm hoping with wear they become less stiff.
