TOMSWomen's Pale Blush Metallic Dots Classics 10012652

The soles of these shoes fell out the first day I wore them. They aren’t even attached! These are not real Toms. They came from China after a long waiting period in a plastic bag. I paid WAY too much for knockoff shoes! Now to return them is a pain. You don’t get your money back until they receive the product and the seller has to approve the return!?!? Buyers Beware!

I would give them less than one star if I could!! This picture shows how my shoes arrived. Not in a box, but crushed. This shoe is not like ALL my previous TOMS shoes!!! They are terribly made. They have absolutely NO arch. The bed liner in not attached to the shoe. The heel is much lower. The shoe fabric is not quality AT ALL. THE “lining” is less than what mesh would be. I could not be more disappointed and I have purchased at least 6 other pairs of TOMS. In addition I placed the order on Oct 9 and did not receive the shoes until Nov 16. If this is a new permanent supplier for TOMS then I will never order another pair.

I have never owned TOMS or BOBS in my life, but I thought both shoes were adorable and their missions noble, so I decided to buy both shoes and do a side by side comparison. (I also included side by side photos of the unboxing of each shoe in the hopes that it might be helpful to someone else!)First up, TOMS (they were $34.76 when purchased). They are completely authentic TOMS when purchased from the TOMS retailer (as opposed to a third party company) so no need to worry. They are made out of textile (cloth and woven fabrics) and have a synthetic sole. They also have a canvas top with an elastic bit for an easy slip on design and comfortable fit. The shoes are very lightweight and come in an awesome assortment of vibrant colors with adorable interior fabric prints (although I personally chose black again which had a very cute cream and black wild life pattern on the inside). The insole is made out of suede and feels very comfortable but not as supportive as I was hoping for. An additionally bonus is that with every pair of TOMS purchased, an additional pair is donated to a child in need which is super rad. I do like these shoes but part of me feels like you are paying for the name. But they are still a great price and when you think of the good they are doing by donating a second pair of shoes it's totally worth it.Next up, BOBS by Sketchers (they were on sale for $28.88 marked down from $42.00 when purchased). They are made out of a canvas fabric and have rubber sole. They slide on easily and comfortably because of the stretchy goring wedge at the top of the shoe. The footbed is made out of memory foam and they have a shock absorbing low profile midsole which is great for those who find themselves on their feet longer. In addition they have an "arch pillow" that provides exceptional support. They also come in a beautiful assortment of colors, both vibrant, natural and pastel which I love! Even the interior of these shoes is adorable (for the comparison I opted for black which have the cutest black and grey cheetah pattern!). The bonus of buying BOBS is that they are currently running a promotion in which 25¢ from each purchase will be donated to the Petco Foundation to help save the lives of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. I am extremely pleased with these shoes so far!Although I really do like and recommend both shoes, I'd have to say that I personally like the BOBS more. In spite of the fact that both shoes look nearly identical, I do tend to side with the all black look that the BOBS have (although I recently found out that you can purchase that style in TOMS too! 😊). I also enjoy the fact that you have the option of choosing a wide fit (which I usually wear) in BOBS while TOMS unfortunately does not offer a wide option, they simply recommend buying a size up if you have wider feet. In addition, I really liked the memory foam footbed and the "arch pillow" in the BOBS because I'm on my feet all day chasing miniature humans and if I don't have proper support, my knees and hips will yell at me 😂. I still recommend both products but again, I did like personally liked the BOBS more.

I have real Tom's and they are a size 9 (my foot size) they also don't say made in China on the inside shoe. The ones I got here say made in China in the shoe and are definitely not a size 9 as I can barely get my foot in them. Will be returning on THEIR dine or will call the bank to fight the charge for bogus TOMS!

I wore these on an eight day trip to Mexico City. I had worn them only once prior to the trip to make sure they wouldn't give me blister. The fit was just right. It was the dry season, so the shoes never got wet or rained upon. It was winter, so the weather never really got above 75 degrees. So no excessive sweating per se, no moisture from the environment. Yet these shoes managed to smell so horrible at the end of the trip that I considered leaving them in the trash at my AirBnB. These are my first pair of Tom's and they were passable other than the stench. I know sweat is human and please believe me when I say I am not a squeamish person - I use natural deodorant for gosh sakes, I feel that smelling to a certain extent is acceptable. This was... beyond that extent. I packed them in my carryon to save my seatmates on the plane. So I guess consider that before purchase?

The shoes I received were not up to par compared to Toms I’ve bought in the past. There were messy threads and the heels were super stiff. They were true to size but very uncomfortable. The difference in quality and comfort was more than can be attributed to ‘worn in’ shoes compared to new ones. I don't know if they were knock-offs or not but had to return them.Note: I’ve never questioned the authenticity of any shoes (and I’ve bought a lot!) purchased on Amazon and SOLD by Amazon, Zappos, etc. I purchased these on Amazon, the purchase was fulfilled by Amazon, and even though it was Amazon Prime, the SELLER wasn’t Amazon. In the future I'll use caution when buying something (especially shoes!) that says “Sold by ‘Seller Name’ and Fulfilled by Amazon”. FYI this info is usually shown near the Add to Cart button.

So I should have listened to everyone else's reviews but I guess for some reason I thought I would get lucky. Well I was definitely wrong. I received fake Toms. The label and the slogan inside the shoe wasn't even the same. It was honestly upsetting and the soles were not sewn in, they were actually falling out when I received them. If I wanted knock off shoes I could've easily bought them but I love the Toms brand and really thought I was getting a good deal. They came large as well but I threw them in the wash and am just going to wear them since I already spent all that money. However, I would recommend if you really want a pair of Toms shoes, go directly to a store or buy them directly from Toms to avoid anything like this happening.

I’ve never owned Toms before. When I first purchased them, I really regretted it - they were so tight that I had a fight to get them on, and they felt like they were cutting into my feet. I nearly returned them.A quick google, however, suggested keeping them on for an hour. And in that space of an hour, a miracle occurred - they fit beautifully. Very, very comfortable - I had two days walking around London all day in them, non-stop. No rubbing, no pain.Brilliant.

Toms shoes always seem to small at first, but they do stretch to fit your foot - you just need to persevere. When I first put them on, my toes were squashed, then my feet went numb, then my feet fell off, then I had them surgically re-attached, then I re-learnt how to walk again. As soon as I was able to walk unaided I put the Tom's back on and walked around in them for a few days. Then they fitted perfectly! Like magic.In all seriousness, they should feel a little tight but not enough to be painful. I usually take a size 6 and the 6 fits just fine after a few hours. Brilliant shoes, I have a few pairs now and even use one pair as slippers around the house, they're that comfy.

Very poor quality service. I ordered a size 4.5 even if I am size 4 and when I got the shoe they been far too small and narrow. I requested to return them, but the seller is asking me to pay the postage. I found it very unfair as I consider it is not my fault that the seller advertise wrong sizes. Also the quality of the shoe it is not great. Very rough comparing with the other ones that I bought before from a different seller. Not recommanded.

These shoes have witchcraft-like properties. I bought a 5, having been a 5 for my entire life and found I couldn't get them on my feet without a lot of struggling, which flummoxed the dog as I got ready for a walk. They turned my feet numb once I got them on - so very, very tight.I googled frantically, and was basically told to grin and bear it. I grimaced and bore it.3 hours later, I have shoes which slip on and fit my feet perfectly. They're SO comfy. Either they contained some shrinking powder and my feet are now tiny, or they've stretched to mould to my feet. Amazing.The only negatives are the initial pain, and the very strong smell of the dye, which fades too. And apparently socks are definitely needed, or they eventually smell horrible. Nice.

I buy alot of skechers and Tom's from my local outlet and have never had an issue with sizing but these I bought in my usual size of 4 and wish I had gone a size up, they were so tight I couldnt even wear them for the evening of my wedding (no party just walking around a park after the photos in my good shoes) and I'm very annoyed about this as during lockdowns haven't been able to go anywhere to try shoes! They hurt a silly amount trying to get them on and not once ever have a bought anything that wasnt a 3.5 or a 4 UK sizing. These were so small and almost feel like your feet should be flat to put them on which nobody has flat feet like paper!
