Detailed Review
When you slip into the TOMS Women's Alpargata Repreve Loafer Flat, you'll immediately notice the soft, welcoming feel provided by the fleece lining and cushioned footbed. The combination of style and sustainability stands out, as each pair is crafted from REPREVE® recycled polyester, which not only supports your fashion sense but also contributes to a better planet.
In terms of comfort, the removable OrthoLite Eco LT Hybrid insole provides ample cushioning, allowing you to wear these all day without discomfort. It's particularly beneficial for those who are on their feet frequently. However, while the cushioning is commendable, those needing more significant arch support might find it lacking.
The elastic gore feature makes slipping the loafers on and off a breeze, adding convenience to your routine. It’s great for quick errands or casual outings where style meets functionality.
That said, the breathable materials make these loafers better suited for warmer climates or milder days. They lack water-resistant properties, so if you're caught in the rain, you might want to choose something else.
With their chic aesthetic and commitment to sustainability, the TOMS Women's Alpargata Repreve Loafer Flat is an excellent choice for anyone looking to merge casual style with meaningful impact.

User Reviews
Excellent quality and comfort. I love Tom's, sort of always adding to my collection. A very basic comfortable shoe, dress up or down, you can't go wrong.
Very comfortable and cute! True to size in length, but I think it would be a little narrow for some. Definitely wouldn't wear it on a summer day because the lining is fuzzy, but would be fine in spring, fall and winter.
Comfortable. Only could wear a couple times before they looked dingy.
Super cute, great price, comfortable
I wear these around the house. Easy on/off. No real support so not great for a lot of walking
The sizing on this show felt very off from my other Toms shoes. It was tight and difficult to get on. Once on my foot my usual size felt snug. I tried to exhange for a larger size, but it was still difficult to get on and then too loose on my foot once on. It wasn't going to fall off my foot, but definitely was uncomfortable to walk around in. Returned.
Really comfortable shoe. Fits great, soft and warm but has a sturdy sole. Love the color.
These are lightly quilted and soft on the outside. Pretty floral pattern really brightens up the day. Fit and comfort are like regular Toms.
