I love Toms, I own many pairs. I wanted a pair that would provide a nice pop of color. These are perfect. Usually I get a size 7.5 in Toms but I went a half size down in these because it was all that was available and they fit like a dream! Toms always stretch just a bit so it wasn't too bad breaking them in. The corduroy is soft and hasn't worn off at all, and I wear these ALL the time.
