****** - Verified Buyer
4.5
I am often skeptical of knock-offs but decided to give these a try. I ordered "light grey" and I also found a pair if red Tom's on sale for a similar price to compare. I went into this purchase knowing fully well that I have a high arch and need support - I also know fully well that lightweight flats don't offer much arch support. This should NOT be a shocker to anyone who needs supportive shoes. But I've found arch support inserts can be invaluable for situations when I really want a certain type of shoe but it doesn't off support. Problem solved.Both shies arrived and as you can see from thr photos, other than colors and label these shoes look nearly identical. Canvas has same feel inside and out on both. Textured outer sole on both for some slip protection. The fit was the same. I used thr Amazon fit recommendations....I've ordered a fair amount of shoes from Amazon and zappos (an Amazon company) so they recommend my size. I usually wear an 9.5 or 10 medium width with a high arch. The front of my foot is a little wide but wide widths are too wide for me. I have mild bunions too...I call my feet difficult because I find a lot of shoes uncomfortable. These were comfortable immediately. My first thought was they were too loose but I had to remember I'm adding arch support. If I don't use arch support I'd use Terry cloth shoe liners that I also buy from Amazon. You don't need a sock at all when you wear themStitching was same quality on both. Insole was of same thickness and quality.My only disappointment was that I ordered "light grey" and received light tan. I went back and looked at thr options assuming I accidentally ordered the wrong color. No, I ordered light grey. The available colors are black, light grey, natural, dark red, blue, brown. The natural appears white in the photo. Either that sent me natural by accident or their colors are off. I noticed another reviewer mentioned she also ordered light grey but received same color as me. I would not have chosen this color due to how quickly they will show dirt but I will keep them regardless.As a comparison, the Tom's i ordered came in color I ordered and color was exact match. If thr Tom's hadn't been on sale for same price as these though, I would not have ordered themHope this review was helpfulThe shoe fit fine I got it because it matched a outfit but it has zero support I have to get some inserts from somewhere and I purchased three pairs.?The soles are very thin and have no support, but would probably be fine with support inserts. The bottom of the shoe is very slippery and has very little traction on tile or hardwood floor. This was a deal breaker for me, I felt like I was going to slip and fall just walking normally. Would not recommendNothing to dislike.Great shoes ! however I ordered Light Gray - it was pictured as Natural - so I received the Natural color. And the Natural is pictured as light gray. I am super disappointed in that, but the shoes are wonderful.The color and fit were as advertised. Comfortable shoe. I normally wear an 8 1/2 but ordered a 9 as my feet swell.I usually wear Toms- these are about as close as you can get with a great price!!!Loved them and am planning on buying again! Comfortable and light!Please do not buy. Its waste of money.I like it
