Customer Reviews TOMS Classic Alpargata - Wide

I wanted to love these shoes but they were so tight across the top of my foot that they didn't fit. I have never had this problem before in other shoes, so it's probably just due to how the style of the shoes cuts across the top of your foot. So if you have high arches, be warned this shoe might not work for you.

I thought I'd give these a try on my weird feet - some reviews said they ran large/wide, but no not so much. If you have wide feet, you'll want to skip these. They mean what they say when they say "M." I'm sure they'll be comfy for someone to run around in, though...sending them back.

I wear a 5-51/2 in shoes with a narrow heel. I cannot wear TOMS because of my narrow heel. I ordered this shoe in 2 sizes and both too loose in the heel. Even heel grips won't help. TOMS fit narrow in the footbed and wider in the heel.

Shoes were narrow; material was stiff; style was not attractive.

Please explain to me how the wide version of this shoe actually feels narrower than a different TOMS Alpargata style???

These are not the same Classic Alpargata I ordered and loved from a few years ago...sadly, like so many shoe products, the companies change the way they manufacture and YUCK. Just not the same. Footbed is not nearly as nice or supportive - the white bottom is ugly - just awful.

Runs small size up x2 if you have fat feet.

HOping to love these shoes but are being sent back. Look cheap and squeak when I walk.

these are more brown than ash --- true ash from wood burning is grey, not brown

I don't understand why these are so popular? I purchased a pair so that I would have some casual slip on shoes. Appearance-wise, they look true to the photos. They are horribly uncomfortable; a good half-size smaller, no inner support. I wore them for a few hours, thinking that they would stretch a little after the first couple wears (they did not). The thing that disappointed me the most was the fact that the bottoms of the shoes have no traction at all, so I was slipping and sliding the whole time.

These seem so cheaply made compared to my other Toms. The inside edge has a seam that ribs against my inner heel and now both feet have tender spots. These shoes are going to the donation pile.

I wanted these shoes to work so badly! They say “true to size” so I got size 10 bc I’m usually a 9.5 - 10. Way too big! Tried 9.5. Still too big. Tried 9. Still sleeps off my heel :( Maybe I just have really skinny heels. I’m giving up for now. So disappointed and don’t understand how I’m always a 9.5 - 10 yet I may be an 8 or 8.5 in this shoe.

I love Toms but only four months into having them I already have a hole. I don't do anything athletic in the shoes besides walking... they should not tear up so easily especially for the price.

I’ve been buying Toms classics for over 7 years. I’ve always been able to put them on right away and they were super comfortable. Never had to break them in. The pair I just received are awful. The fabric is stiff and I got blisters from wearing them. I don’t know what Toms changed or why but I will never buy them again. The reason I loved them so much is because I didn’t have to break them in so it’s just pointless to buy them now.

So disappointed! I really wanted to love these shoes considering they would be easy slip-on shoes but they had weird sizing issues. I purchased a my regular size and they were a bit tight so I went up a half size then they didn't even fit. I didn't want to have to keep exchanging the shoes and hoping to land on the right fit. They were a lot narrower and smaller than expected. I didn't have this problem with some other brands. If you have small and narrow feet you might not have the problem. But I have small and slightly wide feet. Sizing was just way off. The other reviewer who said that they had issues was not joking. I should've taken heed.

I don't understand what it is with Toms. the 9 is too big, but the 8.5 is too small. I kept the 8.5 and they're fine, but they're just not that comfortable. It's my second pair of toms, same result. They're still great travel shoes.

Hard to fit........some too big, slip off heal, some can,t get foot into, but all the same size

To big

True to size, but no arch support.

I love toms, but it seemed that they made the shoes size smaller. I need to go one size higher.

The nice thing about TOMS is that they are lightweight and they are a "giving" company - which I like. But I don't feel like the quality of their shoes is the greatest. I feel they are small for the sizing, which is too bad because they look like they would be so comfy if I could just get them on my feet. These were for someone else, so I hope they fit them well.
