Customer Reviews TOMS Alpargata Cupsole

These are really cute shoes, and pretty comfortable once you find the right size. I actually prefer the thicker soled Toms, as I also own a pair of the Avalon style, so the sole is a plus to me. I will say that this one is maybe a little thicker in the sole, but not by much. However, they are really off in the sizing. I generally wear an 8.5, and rarely have to stray from that in most shoes. In my normal size, however, these were too big, and too wide. I ultimately ended up returning them for an 8, which fits much more like my 8.5 Avalon sneakers. I would definitely suggest sizing down in these.

I ordered my usual TOMS size, but these are slightly longer and slip a bit at my heels. I’ll try some heel liners instead of exchanging them. The brick red canvas and toffee brown rubber combo is really nice.

I have a slightly different style of this same brand shoe in the same size but the older one fits better. This pair fit slightly larger.

Nice looking shoe but feels tight across my instep.

The material is a little stiff but I believe it will soften after I wear them a while..

I purchased these mostly for the sturdier (and hopefully better tractioned) cupsoles. I have a pair of deconstructed alpargatas and the in-soles and arch support in these shoes is similar - more cushioned and with a little more arch support than the regular classics. But the canvas is much stiffer in these shoes and there is very little give to it. I normally buy a 9 in classics because the canvas tends to relax and stretch out a bit, but I had to go up to a 9.5 in these. Hopefully they live up to expectations!

I ordered the "Natural" color in this shoe and it is really the perfect color to go with most anything. Unfortunately, the fit was just off. I wear a size 8 with an average width foot. I wear TOMS year round and currently have at last 30 pair and have probably worn out another 20 over the years. As they have added styles, the fit seems to become less predictable. Sometimes they have their typical light arch support and sometimes none at all. Sometimes they have a removable insole and sometimes not. With this particular pair, the right shoe seemed a tiny bit loose but not something I would consider a reason to return. The left shoe was a half size too big and looked "crooked" on my foot so I'm returning them. I will keep trying and will remain a TOMS customer but my patience with their inconsistency is wearing thin.

I listened to all the reviews and order half a size smaller. The length was good, but the width was too narrow, I have wide feet. Fortunately I am not a quitter so I shoved some tennis balls in them and wore them with socks to stretch them out. It worked. They now fit great. Wide feet proceed with caution.

I have a high instep and it was unbearably tight!

Too big

Very comfortable!! Good classic shoe to have on hand!

These are super cute shoes, but returning because both the 7.5 and the 8 were too big. I am normally a size 8, so was a little disappointed that neither fit.

Love this shoe. Only concern is that it is not as soft on inside as previous Tom espadrilles (and I wear Tom’s almost exclusively). So many more Tom’s shoes all of a sudden. I hope the company isn’t changing quality.

I've been a loyal TOMS Alpargata Cupsole wearer, but this will be my last pair. Insert has changed drastically--used to be rubbery with an arch support. Now it is cheap, flat foam. No longer comfortable to wear for any length of time... Disappointed in TOMS.

These feel like they run larger than expected. At least by a half size.

I wanted to like these shoes more than I do.

I have a high arch and so the top of the shoe bites into my foot. It is most uncomfortable. I worry if I wear them for very long, I will be sorry. I bought them for a sight seeing trip in DC and opted not to bring them. Not sure if it will get better as I break them in. I hope so. They are cute! Sigh.

This shoe is so wide it keeps flying off my foot.

Great looking shoe. Seemed to have plenty of support but too narrow for me.

The fit was good. I would have liked a bit more support in the arch, just a bit more "structure" but overall, very comfortable.

I have a pair of suede Toms that fit me perfectly at an 8.5. However, when I purchased these in 8.5, they were too tight. These shoes are narrow and the canvas material is very hard. Cute shoes, but had to return.

Very Cute! Simply too small. I wear a 9 and have slightly wide feet, though not wide enough for a wide shoe. These were too narrow, and it seemed they'd be too short too.

These shoes are very cute and versatile. I normally wear 7.5 in Toms, but this style is VERY narrow. Just returned them and will try a size up since they are not available in wide.

5 stars for the style and colors, but these fit snug and rubbed my heel.
