Toms ballet flat owners

do these stretch like the regular Toms? the reviews say to order 1/2 to a whole size down. I'm trying to decide whether to get a 5.5 or 6 (I wear 6.5 in regular Toms). if they stretch, I'll size all the way down to a 5.5. if it helps, I have a narrow foot, not wide width.

Re: Toms ballet flat owners

  • I haven't tried on the regular Toms, but I bought the wedges in 6.5 and the flats in 5.5 per the Nordstrom salesperson's instruction, because she said they definitely stretch.  I wore the flats once and they were so uncomfortable I'm debating returning them.  I don't think I want to give them another chance.

  • I've only tried them on. I have a hard time believing they stretch. They are a lot stiffer then the original toms. I wear a 6.5 in those and since the store had a 6 out for the flats I just tried that size out of curiosity. Way to tight... my toes were curling up.

  • They do not stretch like the regular Toms. I wear a 9 in the wedges, 8.5 in the regulars, and 8 in the ballet flats and they all fit perfectly.  If you wear 6.5 in regular toms, I'd order a 6 and see how they fit.  FYI, I LOVE my ballet flats. They're really comfortable and I wear them all the time.

  • They don't stretch all that much. The first few times I wore them they hurt my feet. They've relaxed a little, but I kind of wish I'd gone half a size bigger. 

    ETA: I have the canvas flats, not the leather ones.

  • thanks all! I'll order a 6 (or tell my mom, since this is my birthday gift request). :)

  • I don't think they stretch.  I've worn them plenty now and haven't really noticed them flopping off or anything.  I bought the 5.5 but when I originally bought them I contemplated sending them back because they flopped off so much.  My feet must be swelling or something because they're not nearly as floppy now.  I may be a weird exception.  Ha.  

     

    Totally unrelated to your question but they hurt like crazy the first time I wore them.  Most of the areas that had issues haven't been bothered since except the top of my foot right above my toes.  They still irritate that area.
