TOMS shoes are sold by an organization that donates a pair of shoes to a child in need for each pair of TOMS shoes you buy for yourself. TOMS shoes are available for men, women, and children in a variety of different styles, materials, and colors. TOMS shoes can be purchased online directly from the TOMS company website and will provide a child with a free pair of shoes within 4 and 6 months after you place an order.

Steps

  1. 1
    Determine your TOMS shoe size. TOMS shoe sizes normally align with the shoe size you wear most often and are only available in a medium width.
    • Choose a TOMS shoe size identical to your size in casual or dress shoes. TOMS shoe styles and sizes are very similar to styles of casual and dress shoes.
    • If you wear 2 different shoe sizes that vary depending on the shoe style, choose the smaller size when buying TOMS shoes. TOMS shoes will most likely stretch and expand slightly after you have worn them. For example, if you are a woman who wears sizes 7 and 7.5, buy your TOMS shoes in a size 7.
  2. 2
    Designate your TOMS shoe size on the website. This will provide you with the full collection of shoe styles that are available to buy in your size.
    • Visit the TOMS website featured in the Sources section of this article and click on either the "Women," "Men," or "Youth" links at the top of the screen to access the type of shoes you want to buy.
    • Navigate to the right side of your TOMS web session and select your shoe size from the drop-down menu provided. The page will then refresh and display your shoe size on the right.

    Check the size chart if there is one on the page (there usually is). And read the reviews and comments on the item. People normally write about how the size runs for the item. Sometimes there is even a percentage of reviews from people that have ordered the product that lets you know what percentage of those people thought it was true to size, too big, or too small. These things should help you decide if you need to go up in size, down in size, or order your normal size.
