Tom's are they worth it?
The shoes?
Re: Tom's are they worth it?
i LOVE mine and will probably be getting another pair in the spring.
I'm all about flip-flops usually, but I got my tom's classics for Mother's Day last year and wore them allll summer long. probably wore flip flops only a handful of times.
I don't have any but G has a pair. They are freakin.adorable.
The price is a little high for toddler shoes, but I love that they give a pair to a child. To me, that makes them worth it!

You can't.
I bought mine online, I think Journey's at JC is the only local place that sells them.
The Tom's website says you can buy them in town at Active Endeavors and Tradehome Shoes. I haven't been to this Active Endeavors but I have seen a decent selection at other locations.
Good to know! It was probably a year and a half ago when I was shopping for them in eastern Iowa. For as popular as Tom's have become, they should update their site!!
We were at Tradehome at JC the other day and I noticed they had them there. I didn't pay that much attention (it was before this question was posted or I would have definitely taken note of what I saw) but I think it was a small table with 6-8 patterns displayed.
I think if you're buying them strictly because you like them, go for it. If you're buying them for the feel-good aspect, I personally would try to find another way to spend my money. Here's why:
