I love those! Now I'm sad. My friend just told me they only hold up for 2-3 months. Is that the case? She said she went through a few pair, that they're not meant for long term wear.  She did say canvas was more durable than sparkles. i think that depends on how you wear 'em. i have a friend who has, i dunno, maybe a dozen pairs of Toms? and some of her oldest ones are a good three years old now, i think. she rotates 'em, plus wears other shoes, so none of 'em show their age. but someone else i know, who wears the same Toms every day... goes through a couple of pairs a year. i want some, but as i have Fred Flintstone feet... i don't think they'd fit me. and since nobody locally carriest 'em, i can't just go try 'em on.

Sparklee, how do you find these fit? Do you need to go up or down a half size or anything? Sorry! I only saw this now...... they are definitely true to size. I have bought all my pairs in my size and they have fit perfectly. They do stretch a bit with wear, but not enough to warrant going down a size. My friend just told me they only hold up for 2-3 months. Is that the case? She said she went through a few pair, that they're not meant for long term wear.  She did say canvas was more durable than sparkles. Not true in our case!! My daughter has worn her pink sparkly ones almost every day for over a year and they're still fine. They look a little stretched, but the sparkles have not worn off anywhere, and none of the stitching has come loose. My wedges are worn 3 or 4 times a week, and they still look as good as the day I got them. I have had to "wash" the canvas once or twice to remove some dirt, but they still look great.

I bought my daughter a pair of the black cloth style only a few months ago. They are ruined. The soles are coming apart and the toes are wearing through the material  I am very frustrated, as they are not cheap shoes. YES! My kiddo has these and I returned them and replaced them with the same style. The news ones did the same thing. It's just that particular fabric that was only used in the kids shoes. I'm certain they won't continue with this fabric in the future. Maybe try and exchange them for a different fabric? BTW, kids sizes only come in whole sizes and adults now come in half sizes.
