Skechers Women's BOBS Plush-Peace & Love Flats

***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.

So comfortable! Love that they are machine washable, they are pliable/flexible in the fabric material so my feet can fit when they swell up like hobbit feet. Thank you for making a 9.5 wide!

Cute, well made and comfy.

If you don’t wear them every day, they’ll last longer. I’m a size 10 in women’s & got size 11. They don’t look long from a different pov. When I tried a 10 on, it was WAY too tight for my feet & pinching the top of my foot. I wish they made size 10.5 because my heels felt like they’re going to slip in 11’s.. I hope they don’t loosen up too much over time. The 10 wide I think would’ve been too much.

My new favorite shoe. Comfortable and easy to slip on. I like that it goes with so many things because it is black. I have two other Toms shoes and wear this pair more.

LOVE these, perfect fit, confortable

I thought they would be pretty comparable to the Toms I usually wear..they do not break in like Toms also not nearly as comfortable. They run a little small as well. My feet hurt and miss my toms

Super comfy. A closet staple, in my opinion. I enjoy this type of shoe, and these have a great memory foam insole.

Bon qualité-prix

Sono comodissimi e li uso spesso. Mi piace soprattutto lo stile che lo rende molto versatile. Vanno bene con tutto. L'unica cosa è che vanno in pochino largo per me

Good product it’s very comfortable

The actual size is a lot bigger than that ordered and they do not stay on, even while wearing socks.

Prodotto già noto e di qualità buona
