I bought myself this shoe for my birthday, and I absolutely love them.  They are so comfortable and I get a ton of compliments on them.  I bought an 8.5 as I normally wear an 8 or an 8.5, and I've been told that TOMS stretch out a lot.  It took a little while for these to stretch to a comfortable point.  They hold up pretty well, but, I have noticed that some of the sparkles are coming off.  Nothing that is going to keep me from wearing them.  Love these.
