Skechers Women's Bobs Plush-Peace & Love Ballet Flat

I’m a guy and had bought the Tom’s men’s version of this same style. They were way too tight with the toes. I saw these offered a wide version. I personally wear a man’s 9-10 size. I purchased these in the woman’s 10 wide. They fit perfect.I wanted a snug fit but not tight and these fit just right. Even with thin no show socks. Which aren’t necessary but a preference.The insole memory foam is soft and feels nice. Haven’t had a lot of issues feeling hot in these as they’re pretty low cut on the sides.If you plan on wearing no shows make sure they’re super low cut or you’ll definitely see them on the sides. Amazon has quite a few.The canvas outside is subtly rough texture but soft and flexible. Haven’t had any issues of breaking in time as they worked perfectly day one.The bottoms aren’t too stiff and have a nice subtle almost ASMR shoe patter. Noticeable compared to minimalist shoes I’ve worn. Such as Vibrams. But not like a hard heel shoe sound.They’re a nice clean looking minimal shoe. I bought the black version. They don’t look feminine say no more than Toms for men’s do. Again an exact duplication. Only difference is one is named Tom’s the other Bobs on the tags. Bobs have a more roomier and comfortable insole and feel overall. Plus a little less expensive.Hope this helps. I recommend these for daily casual use. I wear mine with my scrubs daily and fit with my minimal attire.Have a great day! Remember you’re loved dearly by someone! Take care

***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.

Very comfortable. Fits true to size. Nice casual shoes with a dress or jeans

Fit is great, very comfy. Not the most padded item, but still fit and look good. Hope they last longer than my Toms, which I wont go back to.

Cute but a bit big

I have owned 2 pair of the black version of this very shoe. And in the process of looking for other colors of flats to match my other clothing, I finally bought these Sketchers Bob's in Taupe and White.I was a little concerned I wouldn't like the Taupe, but it turns out to match quite a bit of clothing, and it's a nice neutral color. And I'd say pretty accurate to the picture.They have memory foam and are very comfortable. I normally wear mine to church, nice nights out, or the very occasional trip to get groceries. I can't say I do a lot of walking in them, but for what I have done, they don't hurt my feet.I have been a size 8.5 for a very long time and because the black pair I have is an 8.5, I knew these would fit just the same.I've never had a blister from my previous pair, so I don't expect any from these. They are canvas and hold up very well. The very first pair I bought (10ish years ago) is still in pretty good condition, and they got a lot of wear. They just started to be a little faded and the folds/seems at the toe box become not as nice looking. I still have them, and use them for more casual outfits now.I will continue to buy Sketchers Bob's, I think they're a pretty fair price for the quality of product I get and for how long they last. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
