These Shoes Were Made for Walkin'

So I hate buying shoes. I actually find shoe shopping quite torturous.  In fact, I would rather go bikini shopping when I am 40 pounds overweight.  I will admit though my hatred has slightly diminished since I purchased my first pair of TOMS about three months ago.  I'm now on my 3rd pair.  Hooked - yes.  I'm so in love that I sent an email to a bunch of my friends asking them if they would be interested in a  Style your Sole Party.  Check  out  the TOMS website for more info on that one. Too lazy to write about it.  He haw. Anyway, the best way for me to describe these kicks -casual, simple, comfy.  They work nicely with a majority of the clothes in my closet and they have that nautical (clearly my favorite word) summery feel, which I'm all about at the moment. 


Aside from being amazingly comfortable the greatest thing about purchasing a pair of TOMS is the company's One for One program. For each pair of TOMS you purchase the company gives one pair to a child in need.  Brilliant.  


Here are some of my fav TOMS...

 

 TOMS for the tots...

In addition to One for One, the company is challenging people to go one day without shoes on April 10th. TOMS is asking people to spread awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child's life by taking off your own shoes for the day.  Great idea.  Great cause.  I will not be participating.  Nobody wants to see my feet no matter what the cause.  

Happy walking.
