Classic alpargata style, canvas upper, elastic gore for easy fit, suede footbed. TOMS Shoes was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie. The shoe is a unique slip-on design comprised of clean lines and lightweight fabrics in vibrant colors and prints. TOMS was founded when Blake was inspired on a trip to Argentina by the traditional, rope-soled Argentine "alpargata." He was struck by the poverty and health issues of the country, and set out to reinvent the alpargata for the U.S. market, and in doing so to accomplish one goal: Making life more comfortable for those without shoes. To realize this purpose, Blake made a commitment to match every pair of TOMS purchased with a donation of a pair to a child in need. It's simple: If you buy a pair of TOMS, the company will give a pair to someone in need on your behalf. During its first year in business, TOMS sold 10,000 pairs of shoes, and Blake returned to Argentina to lead his first annual Shoe Drop during which he donated to the children who had inspired him. TOMS Shoes are now available in multiple colors and fabric combinations for men, women and a recently introduced line for children, aptly titled Tiny TOMS.

Another great pair of TOMS
I LOVE TOMS. I have atleast 6-7 different pairs and it's perfect for the summer. It's literally the only shoe brand that doesn't give me shoe blisters.The black one looks lovely. All black on the outside, including the sole; which looks really classy. On the inside, the sides of the canvas is a multicolored, striped print. The inside soles are brown with the name of the company imprinted.I have narrow feet, so the shoes fit me fine and give me some wiggle room too. Shoe fit was as expected. Since these shoes are made of cloth/canvas, they don't last long. Typically last me a year (of everyday use), but they make up for longevity with comfort. Plus, amazon's price is a lot more discounted. So I'd say, this is a steal.

TOMS Always a good fit
A few years ago, EVERYONE was wearing Toms. I resisted as they were 'too trendy' for me. But when I saw a woman wearing them, and got a closer look, I was pleasantly surprised. They look almost like Town & Country canvas slip ons that I used to wear as a teen. They were sold in skate shops only.I took a chance and tried some Toms. Kicking myself for not having tried them before! They are true to size and wear beautifully. This is my 3rd pair and I hope they never stop making them. I wear duty boots for 16-18 hrs a day, and all I want are Toms when I'm off duty. I've worn them for all day treks in SF. Playing in the playground with my daughter, etc. great shoe. 5 stars

these shoes are GREAT. I'm usually a size 7
Not sure if these are real Tom's (these are my first pair,) but they definitely LOOK it and even have the Tom's tag. That being said, these shoes are GREAT. I'm usually a size 7.5, so I was a little wary buying a size 8. When they arrived, I was devastated because they were WAY too tight! Luckily my roommate explained that they are made of canvas and will stretch over time, and they did! I'm a front desk manager of a hotel, so I'm running around constantly. Thesee are now my go-to pair of shoes. They look classy and they're comfortable as all get out. I've never gotten so much as a blister or a pinched toe from them. If you're thinking about buying them, stop thinking. Buy them!

MUST BUY
I am the girl who hates wearing shoes and would rather be bare foot all day. However in the workplace it is frowned upon, and these are as close to bare foot as it comes. They are very cute and allow my feet to breathe. They also are easy to slide on and off. I wouldn't recommend in storms of course but I now own 6 pairs and will get more

Kinda bittersweet...
I'm a bit confused with this brand. Prior to this purchase, I bought a TOMS wedge size 7, which is my usual size, and it was way too small. Didn't fit at all. This time around I was determined to get it right so I followed the foot measurement instructions, traced out my foot on paper and all that, and learned my foot is 24 cm which translated to a TOMS size 8. It arrived too big. It seems a 7.5 might've been better. Anyway, I still gave it a rating of 4 stars because the top part of the shoe is snug, thank goodness, so that I can still wear it without it falling off my feet. Another reason is that it's super comfortable straight out the box. The footbed feels divine. And finally, I've read a few other reviews saying that the shoe wasn't authentic and that it came used... This wasn't my experience. My purchase arrived brand spanking new, an authentic TOMS. I love it, aside from the sizing issue of course.

NEW quality
I have never bought from the Amazon used items/reduced price/refurbished section before, but this was my first purchase. At the Toms website these shoes are about $50 plus shipping and I found them on here reduced price. I expected them to be slightly worn, but they arrived in a Tom's shoebox with the tag still on them. I am not sure if they have ever been worn because they look brand new.Only complaint was that I have a size 9 in Bobs alpargata-type loafers and they were a bit loose on me so I purchased these in a size 8 and they are extremely tight. I can still wear them though and just been to get them to loosen up a bit.

Great Shoes!
I’ve been wearing these for a few months now and they are great! Definitely one of my favorite pairs of shoes now! I was concerned about the fit but I ended up ordering a 1/2 size smaller than I usually wear and they fit well. Only took around a day or two to break them in. I’m a teacher and on my feet all day. Usually when I wear flats I get sore by the end of the day but I don’t have to worry about that when I wear these. I was putting off buying Toms because of the price tag and that they seemed flimsy fabric shoes but that is not the case!

Great shoes
I own probably 5 pairs of Tom's, I love the look and ease of them. They are comfy, and quick to put on and are a go to for traveling as they pack so slim. I think they size a bit large but you will love any pair you buy!
