Weird Sizing
I don’t understand how the all black fit so different from all other Tom’s. I’ve had several pairs of Tom’s over the years and never had any issues with sizes, I’m always a 9.5.I ordered 9.5 but they were too loose. The shoe pops off when I walk. Okaaaay, so bizarre. I went back and ordered a size 9 thinking they run big and it’ll fit properly. The size 9 came in today and it’s too tight!! 🤬I added a picture of the 2 side by side. That is a huge difference from 9 to 9.5

Classic Tom's Red Alpargata, Sized for MEN!
For all the ladies looking to purchase this shoe: please remember it is sized for MEN, it is the MENS model of the classic Alpargata. I repeat: The sizing you see above is for men. So if you order a 7, thinking of the size 7 ladies Tom's you have in your closet, these will be at least 1.5 sizes too big for you.I, myself, am a woman. And I ordered these shoes, sized for men, because I have giant lady feet that can fit average male sizes. I could not find a women's 10 in the red alpargata stocked anywhere reputable on Amazon but lucked out with this item listing. I am a size 10 in women's footwear. Ordered an 8.5 in these Alpargata slip ons. They fit great. Here is a quick guide for conversion sizing:If you wear a size 10 in womens, you're an 8.5 in mens.9.5 in womens, you're an 8 in mens.9 in womens, you're a 7.5 in mens.8.5 in womens, you're a 7 in mens.You get the picture.These are classic, authentic, well made canvas Tom's. They are comfortable, easy to wear, versatile, and can take a good beating. This specific listing has great options for the MENS sized Alpargata, and by extension, options for ladies who have larger-than-average feet.Otherwise, order arrived on time, in genuine Tom's packaging. The were shipped by a third party but are still completely authentic Tom's.A word to the wise: once you've broken these in and wear them regularly, try not to get them soaking wet. As in, do not submerge in water. It can warp the (p)leather sole, and they will stink to high heavens, as if somehow releasing all the dirty feet smell they previously contained & kept at bay. This goes for all canvas lined, leather/pleather soled Toms. That certainly shouldn't be a delabreaker though.

These shoes stink... Literally !
Sometime isn't right.. about 2 weeks into wearing these shoes ( everyday to the office, except weekends) something smells. I noticed a weird smell and chocked it up to being the fridge and microwave smelling but then the girl next to me asked me to take my trash out cause she smelled it too.. After I took the trash out I noticed the smell lingered. Then when i got in the car i could smell it on me. I have never had such smelly sweaty feet in my life. I love these shoes, they're so versatile and cute but they stink. literally. I have two other pairs of toms, one with fur so i don't wear socks, they don't smell, the other is the same as these black toms but burlap outside instead of canvas and i never wear socks with those and they smell fine. I don't know how to make the smell go away i washed them in the washer and air dried them i have sprayed anti-fungal in them nothing helps. Its terrible :C other than the terrible smell they fit great & go with everything.

Favorite Shoes for Summer
These are my favorite shoes to wear for summer. They are great to slip on easily when I am headed out the door, and look better than normal flip-flops. The shoes run a size smaller than usual; I wear an 8 for Nike Running shoes and Vans sneakers, and I wear a 7 in Toms. They are a bit tight at first, and feel rigid, but after a few weeks wearing them, they molded to my feet.I wear these slip-ons often, without socks, and my previous pairs have gotten smelly, but after hand-washing them with some detergent and water and a small scrub brush, they became like brand-new. My previous pair lasted two years (I looked at my Amazon order history), and started to tear where my big toe is, and know these pairs will last the same amount of time too.Overall, these shoes are my go-to for sock-less footwear, and would highly recommend them.

Size a little to big
All my pair of shoes(Nike,adidas,vans) I buy them in size 11 so it was no brainier to get these in size 11. But when I got them they were just a little to big. I don't know if it's because I have narrow feet or more then often people that are size have 11 wider feet. But overall I liked them. And they dont run in half size. But Tom's FAQ say you should get one size down if you wear size and half shoes

Black Toms may come tighter than expected!! But Not all is lost.
I swear these are the first toms this didn’t fit right out of the box. As most people have said- there’s something about the Black Toms. i bought these for a trip I was leaving for in two days. Instead of of returning them I decided to watch a few YouTube videos on stretching canvas dealers. I decided to go with the steam method. I just stuffed the shoes with some face clothes and ran them over some steam to loosen the canvas. After maybe 5 min of 30 sec intervals. I immediately put the Toms on with a thicker sock to help stretch them more. I wore them around for maybe 2 hours while watching tv and occasional moving my feet around in them. After I restuffed the shoes with face clothes until my trip two days later and they were golden!

Classic TOMS. The ones with the suede insole are best.
These are the best classic TOMS. They sell some that have a recycled rubber insole, and it is kind of thick and makes the shoes a little too tight. These have the pig suede foot bed made inside of them and are perfect.I normally wear a 12½, but they do not offer half sizes this big so I got a 13, and they are just less than half an inch too long, but fit great. They are a little tight on the ball of my foot, but as I have found with all TOMS the canvas stretches after a couple of days and they are great.

Doesn't make my feet blister
So a preface to this:A few years ago I purchased some grey toms for a trip to China. I walked maybe 4 miles one day and by the end, my toes were blistered an bleeding. I thought they just needed to be broken in but this issue never got better. Looking back, I got the woman's size so they were more narrow in the feet.This pair, however, fits perfectly. I have had no problems and I wear them a decent amount.I still think they are way too expensive for what you get. I only buy them when they are on sale and I would recommend them strongly for $30.

Slim fit, otherwise ok!
I like them but they are a slim fit and a bit hard to put on. Once on length seems ok but I am aware they are narrow, I almost returned them due to this but have persisted with them and I think they are giving a bit with use.

Must have item for the Summer
These espadrilles are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. They are lightweight and come in a range of colours. So impressed with then I have bought three extra pairs for my forthcoming holidays. Love them.

Canvas rough
Although fits well - the upper canvas rubs me feet so I never managed to break them in enough to wear without getting blisters - need to wear indoors with socks first

Slightly on the small size
I have quite a wide foot and because of this is slightly on the small size however even after this still very comfortable and for £20 perfect
