An anonymous reviewer from Boston, MA rates the Element three stars in comfort, five stars in style, and three stars overall. He writes…

I tried to replace a favorite Naturalizer shoe which looks exactly the same as this one. It’s not the same. This does not have much arch support and it runs very large and wide. I normally need a 9.5C and exchanged it for a 9.5B and still found it too long and a little wide.

This shoe is noticeably and comfortably wide, but rides like a much stiffer model and is faster and meaner than you’d expect from its casually roomy looks.

Investigation of the inside reveals an eSoles footbed that’s not only extremely supportive but can be customised with different arch supports – good news for riders with dodgy knees who usually have to swap their personalised footbeds between shoes.

An anonymous reviewer from Toledo, OH writes…

I love the style of these shoes, however they are not as comfortable as I had hoped. They are ok, just not something I would classify as super comfortable. However, they are good enough and like I said, very cute. If given the chance, I probably would not buy again, but I didn’t return them because I had already worn them outside.

hey everyone! quick question for you… i’m really interested in buying a pair of toms for the summer time because all my other sneakers are just toooo clunky. anyway, there isn’t anywhere in town that i could go try them on for myself so i was just wondering, does anyone with wide/chubby feet have any experience with them? how narrow are they? does the fabric stretch at all?

for those who don’t know what i’m talking about, toms are shoes that make your feet look like mummies and for every pair they sell they give one pair to a child in need (mostly in developing countries), they look like this:

Can you help her?

Side note: If you didn’t know, for each pair of Toms shoes purchased, Toms donates a pair to a needy child. Which I think is a pretty noble idea. So, if you can support them. Do it! bye.
