I am a huge fan of Toms shoes. I have at least five different pairs of their slip ons. My mom also became a fan after trying on a pair of my Toms. I bought these shoes as a gift for my mom since she had them on her Amazon wish list. When they arrived I tried them on since my mom and I wear the same size shoe. We are both a 7.5 US. They felt true to size. I was a little disappointed in the comfort of the shoe. I did not wear them for more than a few minutes but felt the soles of these shoes are not as comfy as Toms. I also noticed my mom added insoles to them so I'm guessing she didn't find them as comfy either. They are a cute pattern and all the colors make them wearable with pretty much anything. I guess these are an okay alternative to Toms if you want something a little cheaper but I am still a die hard Toms fan. Much more comfortable to me and it's nice to know my purchase provides another in need with a pair of shoes. Worth the extra money in my opinion!
