I have been wearing these muthas every moment since I got them this past Friday.
I first saw these shoes on the popular TV commercial for a certain cell phone provider/ TOMS shoes. The One-for-One philosophy was intriguing. I wasn't fully convinced on this brand and style until a friend let me try hers on (and she is a reputable shoe information source!)
These shoes are ridiculously comfortable and basically feel like house slippers. I caved and bought the natural canvas ones because my feet hurt too much from sandals to wait for a special-ordered pair. Everyone who I've talked to who currently owns a pair says that even though they don't have a long life, the soles stay comfy til the end, which is important to me.
After several half-hearted internet searches, I was unable to determine whether or not TOMS were eco-friendly and sweat-shop free. I am going to conclude that they are pulling an American Apparel style give-and-take catch-22, which is something I can live with for now.
