Toms?

I am thinking of ordering a few pairs.  Do they fit accurately according to regular size?  Which style and color do you like best.  How aare the wedges?

Do you ever wear these to work or are they more play outside shoes?

Re: Toms?

  • I have the classics and I got my true size since that type stretches. I think the wedges are cute, but not worth the price. I'd wear the wedges to work, but I'd never the classic style (and I'm in a very casual office)

    One of our agents wears the glitter ones in the office all the time, but they don't have any sort of dress code.

  • I have 2 pairs of classic TOMS that are my regular size.  They can be a bit tight at first, but they definitely stretch.  I have a pair of wedges from a wedding I was in, but I didn't stretch them first and they were the most uncomfortable pair of shoes ever.  I'm sure if I wore them more, they would be fine. 

    I wear mine to work, but I don't have a dress code.

  • Toms are funny, you either like them or you don't. They are super casual though, great for chasing around kids, not so much for work. Mine are really, really comfortable, I equate them with flip flops and wear them when it's too cold to wear flip flops.

    I wear and 8 regularly and an 8 in Toms, they stretch out (except for the sequin ones) but it hasn't been a problem for me. I like to wear them with jeans for knocking around. I have 3 pairs of flat ones, two that are furry lined and a pair of wedges. The wedges are ok, I think there are a lot more comfortable pairs of wedges out there. I had to wear mine with socks around the house for awhile before ever wearing them out.

  • What color classic ones do you like best?  Anyone just do black?

  • Also, where do you like to order them from?  I assume they are same price everytwhere?

  • I have a pair of black toms and love them.

    i don't think I've ever seen any price variations. my guess is the charity aspect. maybe.

  • I have 4 pairs of classics (black canvas, black glitter, olive green, and maroon/white) and 1 pair of ballet flats (chambray blue). the classics fit TTS, I wear a 6.5 in most shoes and my Toms, and they do stretch. the ballet flats run large, I sized down to a 6 and they fit perfectly. I wear the black a lot, but my most versatile pair are the olive green. I believe these are a very casual shoe and not work appropriate, except for the ballet flats--those are dressier and will work for business casual. I buy them from the website mostly but have purchased from Journeys for the same price.

  • I have black ones that I wear to commute in sometimes, or on casual Fridays with jeans. If I were to buy another color, it would be the olive green.

    I got mine from Nordstrom b/c they have free shipping.

  • The classics I have are olive green and I find that they go with a ton.

    My H just got me the burlap ones yesterday since I've been saying I want another pair and as sweet as that was I think I'll switch them out for another color. I like burlap, but not on shoes.

    I really want the herringbone ones with the colored bottom, but I seem to have missed the boat on those - last time I checked my size was all gone. Right now 'm looking at these or these or these.

  • I have the grey classics and they go with almost everything.  I wear the same size in Toms that I do in Nike sneakers.

  • I got mine in 2009 from the Tom's site, but just started wearing them b/c they seemed really tight. I ordered my true size. I didn't know they would stretch. Now that they have, they are super-comfy. They are great for chasing the kids. I have the olive green ones.  When I working, they would have been fine in the office, BUT my office was casual.

  • I have olive green ones that go with everything. I also have a leopard print pair and a black and grey wool plaid pair.

  • I have the wedges and agree that they're not as comfy as the classics or the ballet flats.  

    Right now I'm kind of obsessing over the crochet ones for summer.

    or the Corbel print

    I wear a lot of plain t-shirts and jeans/shorts on the weekends so those would add some fun color to an otherwise boring outfit. 

  • I have the classics in gray, and pair of black glitter ones. I wear both on casual Fridays sometimes. If you're between sizes, I'd go down because they do stretch. But not a full size.

    I love the idea of the wedges, but the peep hole is way too big IMO, I hate how it looks on feet. 

  • I just ordered the corbel flowered ones I can't wait to get to wear them!

  • I have the black canvas wedge and I love em but they run big for me I usually wear 8.5-9 and the 8 fits fine.  I would try them on in person if you can, bought mine at Nordstroms and they have free shipping/returns if you can't make it to a store.
