in random postings - I don't understand "Tom's" shoes
they look like my grandpa's slippers
they seem like they are new hipster thing, but seriously, they are fug.
Re: in random postings - I don't understand "Tom's" shoes
I have only heard of them on TN and I know no one IRL who wears them.
Which brings me to a related confession. I cannot take the Vibram shoes seriously. I know, I know, people swear by them, but I still giggle at everyone who wears them.
Some of them are fug and some of them I think are really cute. DH has these brown boots that he wears all the time and says that they are the most comfortable shoes he owns. I really like the personal message too of the company and the story abotu how the comopany got started. I don't mind paying a lot for shoes when I know that it will go to a good cause.
ah, hipster fashion.....
are you talking about those flimsy little chinese slippers that had the buckle across the arch? they were big in my circle.....
indeed
yes
indeed
yes
... every single day of forever.
I think they're ugly too.
And I've heard that their mission, while well-intentioned, actually has a very negative impact, so it's not as great as it sounds. It hurts local economies and local textile industries, as counter-intuitive as that may seem.
Me too and they are not cute at.all!
I like the mission of the company, but it's going to take more than that for me to buy those.
they sell them at Nordstrom and I have seen people wearing them out and about. I think w/ some outfits they can work, but I think they look so flimsy and cheaply made- I don't like buying shoes that look like they will fall apart in just a season of wearing- IMO that is environmentally irresponsible and undoes the good act of giving a pair of shoes away.
They totally remind me of these mesh slipper shoes you could buy in Chinatown in NYC for like $3 a pair- for a hot second on the knot they were the shoes brides changed into and sometimes bought pairs for all of their BMs to change into as well. I can't lie- I totally had a pair that I would shuffle to work in sometimes, or wear to walk Daisy around the block.
Just visiting your board from Boston. (I grew up in MD and my fabulous sister is a Baltimore Nestie....)
I saw this post and had to jump in. Not only do I think they are silly looking, but I tried a pair on and I found them rather uncomfortable. I don't understand ugly shoe trends... crocs, ughs, toms... Make them all go away!
Hope everyone in Baltimore is doing well!
OMG- was it The Warrior Emporium downtown? We used to do that too. That place was a little skevy, but the prices were cheap, cheap, cheap, especially compared to the Jade Gallery in Hunt Valley Mall.

I looked into said wedges because they come in size 12 but decided against them.
