toms shoes



for my birthday last week
a very cool cat
(you know who you are)
from sunny arizona
sent me a pair of toms shoes.

i've been wondering about this
argentine-inspired footwear
for quite sometime.

they are linen lounge shoes
and soft on the feet.
i can't wait to use them
in my postpartum phase
(when i don't leave my house
for two months).

but of course the best part of toms shoes
is that every pair purchased
tom gives a pair to a child in need.

check it out here.

I love toms! My fav band is good friends with the owner/ceo/whatever you wanna call them. They donate a pair of shoes and the company donates a pair when you buy a pair. It's pretty cool.

You're going to love them. They're the most comfortable things I've ever put on my feet. (And they are perfect for sliding across wood floors and dancing in the grocery store.)

I just bought the ash pair for my husband and the glitter white pair for me for our anniversary on MONDAY!!

I hope that they actually give the type of shoe you buy to someone. I would love for a sweet little girl to get a pair of glittery white TOMS.

They really do offer great support. And they are beyond comfortable from the first minute you put them on. I am going to buy a pair of the youth size Tom's for my daughter to wear all summer.

I love mine. Very good support. Unfortunately they don't fit my swollen pregnant feet right now.

Nice idea Kim.

I love toms!!!! Once you put them on you will never switch your shoes again and eventually you will own every style and color they make. Seriously. I just wore my f pair all through Austin, TX.

I adore Toms...I was just thinking about getting a new pair for Spring. They are incredibly comfy and look really cute, too!

I was just looking at them, my feet always hurt, plus l love the idea of giving a pair to a needy child.

Question: Totally no disrespect at all, I promise, just curious--does your religion require you to stay in the house for 2 months?

All the Best,

Lesa

Those sound lovely, that might just inspire me to actually wear shoes. Note to Lesa, which I am sure CJane will address when she reads, our religion does not require us to in the house ever, I dare say as a fellow bearer of babies that that is a choice that is based on ease and comfort. It's just hard to leave the house with a newborn.
