Last school year I heard my daughter Hailey talk about these shoes called Toms. I remember quickly looking online for a price and when I seen how much they cost, I clicked off. They reminded me of the China flats I used to wear when I was young but definitely a little more expensive.
I kind of forgot about Toms until a few months ago when I seen a really CUTE pair of Toms Wedges on Pinterest. Later that day I happened to see the same pair at Nordstroms and I knew wanted them. I didn’t buy the Toms but I had my eye on them and thought to myself I was going to get me a pair. Once it was time for BlogHer, my friend Carrie With Children tweeted online she was going to wear her sparkly glitter silver Toms. That caught my interest and I went to the Toms website to find out why I would be ordering my own pair.
When you buy a pair of Toms, a pair of shoes is then given to a child in need. Their motto = “One For One” and I love it! After I ordered my pair of Toms I ordered Hailey the pair of CUTE white Toms she had been wanting too.
Knowing that 2 pairs of shoes will be donated to 2 children in need makes me feel good inside and I plan to buy more, like the WEDGES!
So were they comfy? I was also turned off by the price as, well, they’re about 3x as much as I usually spend on a pair of shoes. The glitter ones were definitely cute though! Great seeing you this weekend 🙂
They are comfy once you wear them in. When I first put them on they were tight but were okay after I wore them around the house first.
TOMS are the best! My glitter flats were so comfy at BlogHer! I’m already trying to decide which color glitters to order next 🙂
I want the silver pair like yours along with some others. 🙂
I keep hearing great things about Tom’s – I need to check these out firsthand!
That’s a really neat program. Are they comfy? I have really high arches.
For me I had to wear them a couple hours to break them in before they were comfy but they are good now.
I would love to find a really good sale on Toms. 🙂
Try Amazon… 🙂
I bought TOMS for Blogher11. I love them. I now own 3 pairs and plan on a few more soon!
They look comfy.
My daughter had to have a pair of Toms she got sparkly black ones!
That is awesome. I love that they donate a pair for each pair bought. I may have to get me some.
I should get a pair of these. Are they comfortable?
Once you break them in. 🙂
I’m going to check this out. I love companies who give back!
I adore TOMS. I need to get another pair as my last ones are gone with the wind LOL.
Those do look super comfortable, and really cute! I need to check them out!
I have so many friends that love them! I definitely want to buy a pair!
My son wears them, a really funky patterned pair which I couldn’t believe he was wearing – so not him. I’ve not tried them myself but suppose I should one of these days.
I really want a pair…maybe for Christmas.
I can’t argue that giving a pair to someone who needs them every time one pair is sold! I guess there’s some controversy over that, but I don’t care enough to dig into the details 🙂
