Super cute! I got these as my wedding shoes. Toms wedges are comfy & can be worn for hours so I got some for the big day. (Sexy shoes down the isle/pictures, Toms for the rest of the night) My dress is cream and these shoes are a lovely off white, so that works. The material weave does have a nice sheen to it, again, in my favor. THE LOOK That said, the Toms Stella wedge is a slightly different design than their original wedge. They are less casual and a tad more sexy looking, which is a bonus in aesthetics. The elastic bit on the toe is gone, the heel seems steeper, you can see the cork - giving nice contrast and an iconic look, and the logo is in classy stitching, not a patch. THE FIT The adjustment to the toe DOES make them tighter and if you have a wider foot, you will feel it. After wearing them around the house for maybe 2 hours, they have loosened up nicely, so for me the fit is fine. As you can see in the picture, after the 2 hours, my big toe has already started making a comfy groove in the front of the shoe! (Bad for pictures tho) I wear an 8.5 and got an 8.5. One of the shoes seemed too loose at the back (almost like it was too large), so I also ordered an 8. The 8 was waaay too small. I went with the 8.5 and Ill just get some padded heel inserts and that should do the trick. I would give these a 4.5 if I could - because the fit is not quite the same as the original Toms wedge. I gave a 5 because they do meet all my expectations, are still comfy (main reason why I wanted them) and are cute.

ETA. Just wanted to come back and say I’ve broken them in a bit and the shoes feel much better. Less rubbing :) I read previous reviews that said these run small so I ordered a half size up. Ive only worn them once so still need to break them in. They rubbed against my heels a bit. The shoe is light and I think a good height. I love the look of the shoes but I docked a star because theyre not really comfortable (I hope that changes once broken in).

I love these! They are my favorite shoes now! I have only one thing I wish they would change, which I will detail at the bottom of my review. I am a teacher, so I was looking for something comfortable but didnt really want to wear an "athletic shoe" to work. I can get away with these. I wear them with skirts. They have so much cushion. My doctor wanted me to wear these special soles in my shoes due to hip pain. These shoes have removable soles, and my medical soles fit really well. The soles the shoes came with seem super soft. I wear a 9.5-10. I ordered a ten and they fit well. Kind of roomy at the toe but not too big. The only thing I wish was different would be that the entire bottom of the shoe was covered in rubber. The heel is reinforced with rubber, which gives me a decent grip, but if I hit the ground on the ball of my foot I sometimes slide. I hate that. i want to feel secure in my step, especially as I often have little kids running around me. I need to be worried about them, not my shoes. But at least they have the rubber heel. They arent too slippery. Just sometimes, if I hit the ground wrong. They are pretty shoes, and Im glad that I bought them. They are even more comfortable to me than my Rebox.

Love the look and color (natural yarn dye) but these seemed to be a full size smaller. I have several pairs of TOMS wedges and always for perfectly in a 7.5. I could barely squeeze my foot into these so they are going back.

The exterior design of this shoe is fabulous! I loved the dark denim color with matching laces and the cute jute trim ( I even loved that the “Tom’s” logo was stitched in dark threads & didn’t stand out obnoxiously like the label on the heel of their other flats)! Major disappointment then, to discover that these shoes were manufactured only as Narrow! The description doesn’t state that they’re narrow, but they are definitely NOT a regular width, so even though I could get them on in my size, they squeezed my foot so tightly that I knew that I’d be crippled inside of an hour of wearing them...and this was without lacing them up! So sad that I had to return them!
