As TOMS grows, so does its line. At its inception, TOMS only had one basic style in a handful of colors. Now, you can get just about any color and TONS of cool styles. Check out all the fun ways you can wear TOMS in the pictures above. I don't have any yet, but a red pair is on my F/W '11 wish list. When I first saw people wearing TOMS around Atlanta, I was not too keen on the style. Now, I love it. They are great for running errands, walking the dog, sightseeing, and more.
Do you own a pair of TOMS? How do you like to wear them? For more information on TOMS and to view the entire collection, go to http://www.toms.com/. The next time you think about buying someone a gift, consider getting that person a pair of TOMS. They will get a neat pair of shoes, and a child in need will get their very own pair of shoes to protect their feet and keep them warm. It doesn't get much better than that.

I love the concept of what TOMS is doing and I applaud it. I have still never seen a pair of these shoes that I would actually wear. I so wish I thought they were cuter! They just don't appeal to me what so ever.
OK. Here I go, I never comment but look up the concept and the "Vision" and strategy of Tom's. Where did the shoes come from? And where does Tom's send their shoes to be produced? I may be wrong and God knows I wished I could help these kids and instead of giving 1 "FANCY" pair to a kid, I would supply a whole wardrobe. The normal buyer would pay the $45/$50 that they cost,originally the shoes from Argentina cost about $5 or less a pair. And they have been around for a while in Argentina. So to me it is hard to believe that a product from Argentina was brought into Argentina? Look up Alpargattas - which then the movement went to Uruguay, Brazil.

Please don't be offended I mean no harm nor want to change your belief and faith on the "system" however, as believers we are easy targets to these organizations that "help" kids. I am not doubting Tom's however, with the EXCESS money that goes for each pair of shoes, he should be able to provide at least 3 pairs of shoes to these kids for every pair brought.
This post totally makes me want to get some Toms! Not sure where I can find them in my town...but I'll keep my eyes peeled! Love the tiny Toms too! Cute story :)
