SkechersWomen's Bobs Plush-Peace & Love Ballet Flat

***For whatever reason my photos are not posting to Amazon but I am working on resolving this issue!I have never owned BOBS or TOMS in my life, but I thought both shoes were adorable and their missions noble, so I decided to buy both shoes and do a side by side comparison. (I also included side by side photos of the unboxing of each shoe in the hopes that it might be helpful to someone else!)First up, BOBS by Sketchers (they were on sale for $28.88 marked down from $42.00 when purchased). They are made out of a canvas fabric and have rubber sole. They slide on easily and comfortably because of the stretchy goring wedge at the top of the shoe. The footbed is made out of memory foam and they have a shock absorbing low profile midsole which is great for those who find themselves on their feet longer. In addition they have an "arch pillow" that provides exceptional support. They also come in a beautiful assortment of colors, both vibrant, natural and pastel which I love! Even the interior of these shoes is adorable (for the comparison I opted for black which have the cutest black and grey cheetah pattern!). When I first tried them on I noticed they were definitely tight and the top of the shoe did feel really stiff but I'm sure they will loosen up once they form to my feet and break in more. The bonus of buying BOBS is that they are currently running a promotion in which 25¢ from each purchase will be donated to the Petco Foundation to help save the lives of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. I am extremely pleased with these shoes so far!Next up, TOMS (they were $34.76 when purchased). They are completely authentic TOMS when purchased from the TOMS retailer (as opposed to a third party company) so no need to worry. They are made out of textile (cloth and woven fabrics) and have a synthetic sole. They also have a canvas top with an elastic bit for an easy slip on design and comfortable fit. The shoes are very lightweight and come in an awesome assortment of vibrant colors with adorable interior fabric prints (although I personally chose black again which had a very cute cream and black wild life pattern on the inside). The insole is made out of suede and feels very comfortable but not quite as supportive. An additionally bonus is that with every pair of TOMS purchased, an additional pair is donated to a child in need which is super rad. I do like these shoes but part of me feels like you are paying for the name. But they are still a great price and when you think of the good they are doing by donating a second pair of shoes it's totally worth it.Although I really do like and recommend both shoes, I'd have to say that I personally like the BOBS more. In spite of the fact that both shoes look nearly identical, I do tend to side with the all black look that the BOBS have (although I recently found out that you can purchase that style in TOMS too! 😊). I also enjoy the fact that you have the option of choosing a wide fit (which I usually wear) in BOBS while TOMS unfortunately does not offer a wide option, they simply recommend buying a size up if you have wider feet. In addition, I really liked the memory foam footbed and the "arch pillow" in the BOBS because I'm on my feet all day chasing miniature humans and if I don't have proper support, my knees and hips will yell at me 😂. I still recommend both products but again, I did like personally liked the BOBS more.

I love these shoes they are so comfortable. I wear a 10 and have a high in sole, wide feet. So I just sized up a size. They are durable and very lightweight. I love the color.

I have 3 pairs of this shoe in different colors and they are great! Going to order another. They feel like slippers. I am 89 years young and can walk more "normal" in these shoes. They are machine washable and then I spray them with scotch guard. They look great and clean for a long time. Love them!!!!!

These shoes are great- however like many others have said, yes they run narrow and half a size small. Which is great for someone like myself that has narrow feet and flats could be compared to flip-flops. These shoes have comfortable inner soles, okay enough padding with a slightly thicker "arch support" pad all in one, but it really doesn't do much to support (more like a placebo to convince you these shoes aren't bad for your feet to wear all the time). These are best served as clean, house slippers, or occasional "It's hot out and tennis shoes aren't a good option". I haven't had an issue with my heel getting caught or blistered yet, but again, these are not meant to be worn 24/7 and if blisters occur get yourself some Aquaphor and a band-aid.I've attached a picture of my old shoes (Brand: Mathew, I think) which my mom bought me for 5 bucks in 2010 at 9 years old back in a Target that no longer exists or sells the brand. Stained, sun bleached, worn, nice and flexible, no traction, cute inner pattern, and the comfiest pair to which I desperately searched a 2nd pair - turned replacement pair- and ultimately just needed to part with. Final resting place is the trash - I wish I could frame my breaking-in efforts and the treads I've traveled in those shoes, But alas! Fortunately, BOB's is still kicking and sells these "Tom's" style shoes and its a miracle I caught a deal for 15$ for these new shoes, which for some f-----g reason cost upwards of 30$ on a normal day??? Why. But okay.If you decide to purchase these shoes, know that with love, care, and walking, you too can have shoes that once looked and were comfortable like mine. Cheers.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. My last pair last around 7 years before they started to fade. They still wear wonderful though. They are light weight and have the memory foam support that helps when you are on your feet all day.

Got these for my GF and had to send the first pair back because they run a little big for her size. she has narrow feet, but returned them and had the right size pair in a couple of days. She loves them and they look and fit great!

I got these in February and they are very comfortable and cute but after 3 months they are already falling apart and i have only been wearing them at work in an office.

They are very comfortable. I am a teacher and I'm on my feet all day.

Si tienes el pie ancho o alto del empeine te sugiero pedir medio número más. Sin embargo si eres pie delgado tu número exacto será el ideal. Es una marca tan necesaria en cualquier viaje, para andar cómodo, se lava fácil

Great shoes for everyday. Great price. Hard to find my size in store. Comfy. Maybe not good for really long walks. Did start tearing at the heels.

Ich trage seit Jahren Bobs. Ich muss allerdings immer eine Nummer kleiner bestellen, sie fallen für mich größer aus. Sehr bequem und Top verarbeitet … Zustellung war auch super

Bon qualité-prix

I was so pleased to find these on Amazon as my original pair from Sketchers had worn out. Fabulous canvas shoes.
