Detailed Review
The TOMS Womens Alpargata Canvas Slip On Flats stand out for their stylish design and commitment to sustainability. These slip-ons are crafted from a soft canvas upper, making them lightweight and breathable, perfect for those warm days when comfort is key.
The elastic gore allows for effortless slipping on and off, which is a real bonus for those who are always on the go. The OrthoLite Eco LT insole not only provides cushioning but also supports an eco-friendly initiative, aligning with TOMS' mission. You will appreciate the soft suede footbed that enhances your walking experience, adding an extra layer of comfort throughout the day.
On the flip side, while these flats excel in breathability and style, they may lack the arch support some individuals require. If you have wider feet, the snug fit could be uncomfortable during extended wear, so trying them on before purchasing is advisable. Additionally, while their casual look is versatile, they may not be suitable for all occasions.
With care instructions suggesting machine washing, maintaining these flats is relatively hassle-free. Choose the TOMS Womens Alpargata for a fashionable yet ethical choice in footwear that makes a difference.

Wife likes them.
These were just as pictured. In my personal shoe fittings the 8.5 size is correct in length and width.Theses were very stiff and initially gave blisters from the friction on the upper heels of my foot. I dampened the upper heel and worked it back and forth until it was soft. No more blistering. A very comfortable shoe now.
My second pair of shoes like these and I am so happy I bought them! These are so comfortable to wear, and so cute! Just a little bit of color and fun, while remaining professional for teaching. Love these!!!
I absolutely loved the design of the shoes, sadly they are a real narrow fit so bear this in kind when ordering.
They were a cute shoe. I didn’t care for glitter material. Fit well! So, I returned the shoe but will try another shoe without the glitter.
I ordered a 1/2 size up so I could wear a thin sock in the Fall . My foot is a narrow width but can wear theM . I normally wear a 9 narrow sneaker but with these, I’m an 8 …..only because of my narrow foot… one pair I have actually came in AA and they were perfect ….but hard to find!
Very sparkly
