Are these ugly?

I got an email ad from nordstroms with these shoes and I am strangely curious.

  • Yes, ugly.  But I hate Toms.

  • They scream "mom wedge" to me. Like you'd pair them with capris for those playdates where you're trying to show off and chase your toddler at the same time.

    Same. It's the  Toms factor that bothers me more than anything. 

  • Fug.

    It took me a while to figure out that the owner/creator of Tom's shoes is Blake from season 2 of the Amazing Race. I was kind of Surprise when I figured that out.

  • I think most people generally buy TOMS to support the cause, rather than to be fashionable... I've heard the wedges are comfy though.

  • Yup. Fug. No doubt about it.

    I hate Toms.

  • I'm curious that TOMS gets such a strong negative reaction - is it just aesthetic or what?

    It is the aesthetic and the hype for me.  They're not cute, I don't care which pair someone has.  And I know that it makes people feel like you did a good thing buying them, but you could do as much or more good by just buying decent looking shoes and throwing some cash the way of a local charity.  I also hate that people who wear them all the time try to push them (I went to college with a bunch of people like this).

    I just think they're really unattractive. Some of the early 20-somethings in my office wear them to work and I can't figure out why.

    I just don't like the look of them. Something about them (maybe the stitching? Or the fabrics?) just seem sloppy to me. They're like yuppie Crocs.

  • I like them. I have tried on a pair and they are quite comfy. I would not buy that color but I like the red stripe ones.
