Toms Classic Alpargata Loafer Flat, Grey, 9 US Unisex Little Kid
Loafers & Slip-OnsClassic alpargata style, canvas upper, elastic gore for easy fit, suede footbed. TOMS Shoes was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie. The shoe is a unique slip-on design comprised of clean lines and lightweight fabrics in vibrant colors and prints. TOMS was founded when Blake was inspired on a trip to Argentina by the traditional, rope-soled Argentine "alpargata." He was struck by the poverty and health issues of the country, and set out to reinvent the alpargata for the U.S. market, and in doing so to accomplish one goal: Making life more comfortable for those without shoes. To realize this purpose, Blake made a commitment to match every pair of TOMS purchased with a donation of a pair to a child in need. It's simple: If you buy a pair of TOMS, the company will give a pair to someone in need on your behalf. During its first year in business, TOMS sold 10,000 pairs of shoes, and Blake returned to Argentina to lead his first annual Shoe Drop during which he donated to the children who had inspired him. TOMS Shoes are now available in multiple colors and fabric combinations for men, women and a recently introduced line for children, aptly titled Tiny TOMS.

About Loafers & Slip-Ons
Slip On Style: Your Guide to Loafers & Slip-Ons
The allure of effortless style is undeniable. And when it comes to footwear, loafers and slip-ons are champions of convenience and laid-back sophistication. Loafers & slip-ons offer the perfect blend of comfort and style, making them versatile additions to any wardrobe. This guide will delve into the world of loafers and slip-ons, helping you navigate different styles and choose the perfect pair to elevate your casual look.
Loafer Lowdown: Classic Styles for Timeless Appeal
Loafers are a cornerstone of men's footwear, offering a touch of formality without the constraints of laces. Here are some popular loafer styles to consider:
- Penny Loafer: The quintessential loafer, featuring a strap with a signature diamond-shaped cutout that can hold a penny (though not recommended these days!). Penny loafers are perfect for smart casual looks and pair well with chinos, rolled-up chinos, or even dressier shorts.
- Tassel Loafer: Adding a touch of flair, tassel loafers feature tassels on the vamp. They offer a slightly more dressed-up look compared to penny loafers and work well with tailored trousers or even a summer suit.
- Horsebit Loafer: A timeless and sophisticated option, horsebit loafers feature a metal bar across the vamp. They exude a classic elegance and pair well with dress pants or a blazer for a polished look.
- Driving Loafer: Designed for comfort and ease behind the wheel, driving loafers typically have a thinner sole and a more relaxed silhouette. They're a great choice for casual outings or weekend wear.
Beyond Loafers: Exploring the World of Slip-On Shoes
The world of slip-on shoes extends beyond loafers. Here are some other popular options to consider:
- Boat Shoes: A summer staple, boat shoes feature a lace-up design (though most people don't actually lace them) and a rubber sole for good traction on boats (or decks!). They pair well with chinos, shorts, or even a light linen suit for a nautical-inspired look.
- Moccasins: Offering a relaxed and casual vibe, moccasins are traditionally made from soft leather and feature stitched seams. They come in various styles, from classic penny loafers to driving moccasins, and offer a comfortable option for everyday wear.
- Espadrilles: A summer favorite, espadrilles feature a woven jute sole and a canvas upper. They're perfect for warm weather and add a touch of laid-back sophistication to any outfit.
Choosing the Perfect Fit: Comfort is Key for Loafers & Slip-Ons
Since loafers and slip-ons don't have laces for adjustability, getting the right fit is crucial for comfort. Here are some tips:
- Try them on in the afternoon: Feet can swell slightly throughout the day, so an afternoon fitting ensures a more accurate size.
- Consider the sock factor: If you plan to wear socks with your loafers or slip-ons, factor that in when choosing the size.
- The heel shouldn't slip: There should be a snug fit around the heel to prevent them from flopping when you walk.
- Walk around in them: Make sure the loafers or slip-ons feel comfortable and supportive during movement.
Slip On Style with Confidence: Elevate Your Casual Look
Loafers and slip-ons are a perfect way to inject effortless style into your everyday wardrobe. With so many styles and materials to choose from, there's a perfect pair out there for every occasion. So, ditch the laces, slip on comfort and confidence, and elevate your casual look with loafers and slip-ons!

User Reviews
If you’re a fan of TOMS then you know how they fit. These are a cute pattern and my daughter loves them.
I used to love Toms when they first came out, after awhile I stopped buying them but I love houndstooth so I was sold on this. They are extremely comfy and not too tight either. I wear them with socks and still have enough room to not have my feet feel suffocating. Toms in general are not the most durable so keep that in mind if you want a pair of shoes that will last forever.
I love the look of these shoes, but the quality is absolutely terrible. These shoes squeak like crazy and it's really obnoxious. I have two pairs, unfortunately, because I thought they would last. One is a 13 and one is a 12 (in black) as I am right in between sizes. Therefore, I can rule out it being a 'fit' issue. It's definitely the shoe. Additionally, I've worn these maybe 7 times and had them for just over a month and the material is already tearing. It'll be another couple of wears before they are complete trash. The seller should do the right thing and replace them.
Love these shoes. Comfy and sharp.
I've had these for less than a day but I love my Toms. First off: sizing. I am usually a 7 or 7.5 in most shoes. Both tend to fit me comfortably (usually). I ordered a 7 in these, since I figured I will not usually be wearing socks (and therefore don't need extra room, since these can fit snug), or if I do, I would be wearing thin liners. However, the shoes are very snug. If you are also in between sizes, I suggest going with the larger. Still, I was able to wiggle the fabric around my feet so that they fit okay, and I'm hoping that with a few wears, the fabric will give just enough for me to be able to slip these on and off with ease.These shoes are narrow in a particular spot for me. The top middle part of my foot is high (despite the fact that I have low arches) and I find that that is where the most tension is when I wear these shoes. However, I have that problem with most shoes I try on, so if you have a similar shaped foot as I do, expect to break these in a little bit.Other than that, the footbed provides some amount of arch support and cushioning, which I highly appreciate. I am unable to wear flats for an extended amount of time because the lack of arch support causes knee pain. Although I love wearing sneakers, I wanted casual comfortable shoes that wouldn't make me look like a child (I look really young and wearing sneakers doesn't help!). These Toms are casual, comfortable, and somewhat more age appropriate for me.Finally, I was worried that the Toms I received might be fake. But after doing a quick Google search and some comparisons, I'm glad to know that my Toms are authentic.Overall I'm very happy with my Toms and I can't wait to make these my go-to pair of shoes.
Loved then. Perfect fit. Good quality.Will order more.
I needed an inexpensive last-minute shoe to go with a costume I was putting together, and these looked perfect. I am always a size 10, so that's what I ordered. The shoes arrived quickly, but unfortunately, these were not made for wide feet! I struggled to get them on, and when I did, the length was fine but they were squeezing across the top of my foot.No half size up was available, so with them being so inexpensive, I just cut the elastic across the top. After that, they fit perfectly and comfortably. I walked around in these all day without wearing them in first, and my feet didn't hurt at all at the end of the day! Very surprised at the comfort level for the price. Now these are my go-to "quick errand run" shoe. Just wish I didn't have to cut them to make them work!
Love them! Great colors
