text: I love my Toms, but be forewarned: they do stretch out. They will probably feel unbearably tight when you get them. I put on thick socks and then squeezed the Toms on, shot the Toms with a hair dryer, and walked around my house for a bit. Of course you could always go through the pain of wearing them in, but this stretched them out in a few minutes, and they were perfect. Suggest sizing a half size down.
