Detailed Review
When you wear the TOMS Women's Red Canvas Classic, you are choosing a product deeply rooted in history and purpose. These slip-ons are designed not only with aesthetics in mind but also with a clear social mission. The lightweight canvas fabric allows for breathability, making them a great summer staple.
The elastic ‘v’ detailing is a thoughtful addition that ensures that you can easily slide your foot in without fussing with laces or buckles. Once inside, the suede footbed cradles your feet, making them feel plush and supportive, though it is worth noting that those requiring significant arch support might want to consider additional insoles.
Care for these shoes is relatively straightforward; they are machine washable, which is a boon for keeping them looking fresh. However, being made from canvas means you'll want to handle any stains promptly to preserve their vibrant red hue.
Moreover, embracing the TOMS brand goes beyond personal enjoyment. With each purchase, you’re partaking in a larger mission to provide footwear to children in need. This aspect of social responsibility resonates strongly within the community and could certainly make your shopping experience feel even more rewarding.

If you’re a fan of TOMS then you know how they fit. These are a cute pattern and my daughter loves them.
I used to love Toms when they first came out, after awhile I stopped buying them but I love houndstooth so I was sold on this. They are extremely comfy and not too tight either. I wear them with socks and still have enough room to not have my feet feel suffocating. Toms in general are not the most durable so keep that in mind if you want a pair of shoes that will last forever.
I love the look of these shoes, but the quality is absolutely terrible. These shoes squeak like crazy and it's really obnoxious. I have two pairs, unfortunately, because I thought they would last. One is a 13 and one is a 12 (in black) as I am right in between sizes. Therefore, I can rule out it being a 'fit' issue. It's definitely the shoe. Additionally, I've worn these maybe 7 times and had them for just over a month and the material is already tearing. It'll be another couple of wears before they are complete trash. The seller should do the right thing and replace them.
Love these shoes. Comfy and sharp.
I've had these for less than a day but I love my Toms. First off: sizing. I am usually a 7 or 7.5 in most shoes. Both tend to fit me comfortably (usually). I ordered a 7 in these, since I figured I will not usually be wearing socks (and therefore don't need extra room, since these can fit snug), or if I do, I would be wearing thin liners. However, the shoes are very snug. If you are also in between sizes, I suggest going with the larger. Still, I was able to wiggle the fabric around my feet so that they fit okay, and I'm hoping that with a few wears, the fabric will give just enough for me to be able to slip these on and off with ease.These shoes are narrow in a particular spot for me. The top middle part of my foot is high (despite the fact that I have low arches) and I find that that is where the most tension is when I wear these shoes. However, I have that problem with most shoes I try on, so if you have a similar shaped foot as I do, expect to break these in a little bit.Other than that, the footbed provides some amount of arch support and cushioning, which I highly appreciate. I am unable to wear flats for an extended amount of time because the lack of arch support causes knee pain. Although I love wearing sneakers, I wanted casual comfortable shoes that wouldn't make me look like a child (I look really young and wearing sneakers doesn't help!). These Toms are casual, comfortable, and somewhat more age appropriate for me.Finally, I was worried that the Toms I received might be fake. But after doing a quick Google search and some comparisons, I'm glad to know that my Toms are authentic.Overall I'm very happy with my Toms and I can't wait to make these my go-to pair of shoes.
Loved then. Perfect fit. Good quality.Will order more.
I needed an inexpensive last-minute shoe to go with a costume I was putting together, and these looked perfect. I am always a size 10, so that's what I ordered. The shoes arrived quickly, but unfortunately, these were not made for wide feet! I struggled to get them on, and when I did, the length was fine but they were squeezing across the top of my foot.No half size up was available, so with them being so inexpensive, I just cut the elastic across the top. After that, they fit perfectly and comfortably. I walked around in these all day without wearing them in first, and my feet didn't hurt at all at the end of the day! Very surprised at the comfort level for the price. Now these are my go-to "quick errand run" shoe. Just wish I didn't have to cut them to make them work!
Love them! Great colors
