TOMSWomen's Alene Slingback Flats

Disappointing

I purchased the green color. I saw them on display in the store and liked the appearance of the display shoe. The fabric was textured and linen-like, the overall appearance was casual but refined, and the quality was decent for the relatively low (sale) price. My size wasn’t available, so I ordered online, and was very disappointed with what I received. The fabric on this pair has a much coarser texture, almost fuzzy, and the overall appearance and quality of the upper was like burlap stretched over a shoe-shaped piece of cardboard. They didn’t appear to have been previously worn, but they already looked cheap and tired, and since they certainly won’t improve with wearing, they’re going back to the store. I do love the color, but these aren’t worth the money.
