  • Ick! those are terrible
  • Definitely NMS but I can't hate on them given their charitable work.

  • NMS either.  I do like the company's charity by each shoe bought gives a child a pair of shoes.

    Crocs, Teva and Birkenstocks are still at the top of my awful shoe list. 

  • Amen. Apparently they are all the rage, I don't get it.

  • I could never picture myself wearing them, but I know a lot of people who do. Confused

    I totally agree!

  • Agreed.  Just give them a donation and let them give 2 pairs away
  • I want to like them, and my coworker pulls off the wedges really well, but I don't think they'll ever be my thing.

    Agreed.

  • Do you not like the ones with paint spatter?

    I have a confession...I used to own a pair of Crocs.  In my defense they were the flats.  It was a few years back during college and I was working retail.  I needed some confortable flats and saw them at Macy's so I figured why not. 

    Since I can't PIP, It was these in black

  • They're definitely not stylish but they're not as bad as Crocs or Birkenstocks. I used to have some like these Tom's as a kid.
  • They're definitely not as bad as crocs which only look cute on small children. I don't think I'd buy Tom's but I don't think they're awful-My friend has a pair and they looked cute on her-I like the charity of their company, but I hate that the tag of the company name is HUGE on the back of the heel-It looks ugly.
  • I don't think they look terrible.  I can't exactly see wearing them for prom or a wedding, but for everyday, they're not too bad.  I've seen worse at Payless and Target.
  • Aw, but they do such good charity work!

    I agree that most of the shoes on that site are icky, at least the flats. I saw a woman wearing a pair of wedges the other day though and they looked really good and I wanted a pair. I would totally buy these:

  • I don't think they're that hideous. They're not really my style, but nothing about them screams "ugly" to me (aside from the weird prom ones and such). But I'm probably the least fashionable woman ever, so what do I know... :P

    Those are not too bad.

  • EmmieB (forgive me if I shouldn't have ratted you out?) has a pair of these shoes and they look REALLY cute on her.  But she seems to be able to pull any look off and it makes me crazy jealous!

    I think the wedges are cute as heck and if I could wear them, I would own them.

    TOMS are SUPER popular at my college....everyone has them.  NMS because I know I can't pull them off, and I can't wear that kind of flat.  Boo.

  • I have the Tom's wedges and I love them. I can't do the flats -- makes me look I have bound feet.

    I also own Crocs and LOVE them. I have these pretty things:

  • They're NMS, but besides a couple of them, I don't find them hideous or outrageous either...
  • imagemrscerruti2be:

    I have a new shoe enemy.  Tom's.  Seriously, wtf?  These are hideous.

    I like that you have a "shoenemy".  Now true confession time: I secretly wear these, I know they are beyond ug but they supposedly tone my heinie and if I did not wear them I would probably have to work out or something.  Feel free to cyber-bully me.  I deserve it. 

    The shame:

  • Eeew, they look like prison shoes!

  • Lord, if you all could see the horrible options I have now that my feet were transformed by pregnancy into a total mess, you would think Tom's are hot. To me they look like a Vans rip off.

    Thanks! I'm flattered!

    I was just going to say "I have the classics in ash (grey) and I wear them EVERY STINKING DAY." In fact, I'm buying a second pair. They are CRAZY comfortable and I walk *a lot* (see my response in the "walking distance" post)

    http://www.toms.com/womens/classics/ash-canvas-classics-shoes

    I hesitated at first and then I put them on they're heavenly. They're also fairly low profile and fairly versatile. Also - I used to buy very similar shoes in china town and I lived in those.

    They're more comfortable than my Chucks, which is what I feel they've replaced for now. (I have black and plaid chucks and I <3 them.)

    I feel like I should take a picture of myself wearing them to defend their honor ;-)
