Toms Anyone?

Anyone heard of the recent shoe phenomenon, Toms? I admit I was a little out of the "shoe loop." While away on my Vegas girls getaway, 2 of my fashion-savvy friends raved endlessly about these shoes. Personally, I thought they were a little...well, not cute. But apparently what they lack in aesthetic appeal they make up in comfort.

I might just have to mosey on down to Nordstrom to buy a pair. Any Tom's fans out there?

    Yes! I don't have a pair yet. I went to buy mine last week but they were sold out in my favorite color. I agree that they aren't the prettiest shoes on the market, but I'm all for supporting their cause.

    Hell, yes! I have the blur and white striped nautical looking pair from last year, and boy, are they comfy!

    I'm wearing TOMS today. I'm sporting the red striped ones... and they are super cute! i've gotten 3 compliments already, people need to know where I got them.

    I loooove my TOMS! I have the black pair you put in first. I must admit it was the cause that got me right off the bat, but they are so comfortable and perfect for a non-rainy day. I made the mistake of wearing them during a downpour... they recovered pretty well though! They are a good keds/vans canvas alternative.

    I know - I am all for the cause, but I agree with you, not the cutest looking shoes I have seen (even for bumming around in). Maybe I will have to try a pair on and see what all the fuss is about.

    Oh, I love TOMs! I actually can't believe I haven't gotten myself a pair yet. I really want the navy blue ones. I think they'd look great with summer skirts!

    Love my gold glitter ones. They're a bit flashy but super comfy.

    they're for a good cause as well. for every pair you buy, a pair is donated to a child who doesn't have shoes in a third world country. i would definitely give them a try!

    I was shocked when I saw them too after hearing that they were really popular. I guess maybe Toms are the new Crocs? I believe I'm going to sit out on this trend but I do think the cause is great!

    I've been wanting to try them too...

    If they are as comfortable as they are affordable, we might have the making of a serious addiction!

    So comfortable and cute (in their own great way). TOMS is a great company with the right focus, to help children in need of a basic necessity... shoes. I have a couple pairs and wear them whenever I can (except in the Iowa winters).
