These are actually super comfortable and really cute. They’re not quite as boho as regular Toms which is a bonus for me. Ordered another pair in leopard print. Love.

Great shoe. Very comfortable. There’s a piece in one of the shoes where the seam is not flat so it’s caused some rubbing raw on the top of my foot. Unfortunately I wore them outside so stuck with them. They are handmade so some will have imperfections. Just inspect them carefully first before wearing.

I’ve never purchased Toms before, so I decided to go with my usual size, 7.5. They seemed true to fit (my heel didn’t slip and I think my big toe would have been jammed a little too tight if I went down to a 7) but overall felt really wide in the toe box and the sides of the shoe as I walked around. The foot bed was super comfortable and I love the style, but overall they are not comfortable and supportive enough to the sides of my feet to be everyday summer work/walking shoes.

They feel like walking on a cloud. They aren't the most stylish shoes but my feet hurt all the time. I'm not concerned about style anymore. Great purchase especially for the price.

I've always wanted a pair of Toms but never could wear the Classic style. They never felt supportive or wide enough. The Avalon style is perfect! They may not have arch support but my feet never hurt in these. I don't feel them on the ground. I can wear all day and they are comfortable. I normally wear a size 8.5 in most shoes and wear an 8 in these. I wear with no-show socks and they are very comfortable. Very little irritation on my back heel mostly when my sock doesn't stay in place. Wish they came in more colors and designs!

I have a pair of these in one of the chambrays, and really like them. It felt like there was no breaking-in period, and they've held up much better than Classics. But this review in particular is for the second pair I bought, the black coated canvas. The style and general feel of these are great, and oh are they a good, dark black, but the backs of these, due to being a thicker, treated fabric, are biting the skin over my heel. I'll wear tights with them till they soften.

I purchased TOMS Avalon sneaker in black canvas for a trip to London. I needed something stylish, simple, and comfortable. These fit the bill! They were immediately comfortable and had no break in period. I wore them almost every day for a week, doing a lot of walking, and experienced no blisters or sore feet. My only complaint is, at only 3 months old, the rubber edge on the side of the shoe is already peeling away, and the TOMS tag on the back is fraying. I have worn these a considerable amount, but I would expect a shoe at this price point to last a little longer. Overall, however, I would purchase again!

This is my first pair of Tom's. I bought these shoes so that I could have some slip on shoes to wear though airport security. I have worn them quite a bit when out and about running errands and at home. They are nice looking shoes, but not supportive enough for me to wear when walking long distances (as one does in airports). The search continues for me for casual slip on shoes which have the amount of support I need.

These shoes are super cute! I wish they worked for me.. just something with how the top stitch hit my right big toe didn't work for me so I returned. I am trying the more traditional TOMS instead - but these are definitely cute!

Loving these shoes, they look great with jeans or yoga pants and are a bit cooler than my typical keds. Glad to see Toms adding new styles to their line, such a great brand.

These are just too wide for me. I usually wear a size 8, occasionally a 7.5, so based on all the reviews that these run big I got the 7.5. It was fine in length but too wide for my narrow high arches, and my heel slips out too. Also note the Natural Metallic Linen one fit better than this Black Coated Canvas one. I wasn't expecting arch support like regular sneakers have, but just to confirm this doesn't offer arch support if you have high arches like I do.

I wear a 5.5 in the classics but bought these in a 6. They feel too small and would recommend a half size up.

Super comfortable! I find these to be much higher quality and more comfortable than the classic TOMS. However, they do stretch a bit after the first wear. I'm normally a size 8, but should have ordered a 7.5 in these.

Great shoes...could be cheaper but nonetheless. If you wear them for awhile the bottoms get flat quickly but its been like nonstop for 2 months.

I've been searching for a cute, comfortable slip on for years, FINALLY! They were comfortable out of the box and after a few wears I decided to wear them to Disneyland. My feet didn't hurt all day, I was shocked! I'm usually a big complainer about my feet! One issue is that after just a few months one of my soles has come apart from the shoe so I'm here getting another pair. I feel like they should've lasted a little longer but it's ok, they're worth it.
I'd also recommend:
Ugg, Cole Haan, Native

I wanted to love these shoes - however, the material of the upper was very insulating and it caused major foot sweating to occur! I'm not a sweaty-footed person, and I do enjoy wearing shoes without socks, so this was a bummer for me. Might be fine in cooler months but definitely not good for the upcoming warm season!

Love these shoes so much that this is my second pair. They are super comfortable and have enough support for all day walking. True to size. The only negative is that the silver color tends to wear off at the toes.

Love these shoes but they were tight in this material. Will try again because they hold up and go with so many things.

This was a second pair and it was much tighter than the first pair, which were a different material. I love these and will try again in a new material.

Loved the look, but they were stiff and too wide. Did not fit at all like the many pairs of TOMS I’ve bought before. The fit is why I returned them!

Tom's seems to be discontinuing their Avalon line, so I was eager to purchase another pair while they are still available. I have loved this style for a long time - cushy sole and cute prints. Sadly, this shoe seems to have been redesigned. The heel cup is higher than in my other Tom's and rubs the back of my ankle, and the shoe seems to be wider and gapes around my foot. The heavy canvas is also not particularly comfortable, although I'm hoping they break in a bit. I hope Tom's brings back the original Avalon in fun fabrics, because this shoe is a disappointment.

Love the style but the heels were a tad loose and therefore, uncomfortable. I'm afraid I'd get blisters. I ordered a 5 because 4 1/2 wasn't available, but I have to return them. Wish they had 4 1/2 available because I'm pretty sure those would fit.

They felt okay, a little big. Not a half size bigger, but they were roomy. I also felt they looked extremely cheap. Would be a good shoe for just running around.
