Do you have a pair? What do you like about them? Are they comfortable as an every day type shoe.......any cushion or support?? Are they durable at all......I like my shoes to last a few years!
Their new ballet flats are really cute....and I'm thinking of asking for a pair for my birthday, as I'm on the hunt for cute/casual flats for spring and summer.

And as a stare at them, the classics are starting to grow on me too!

I think I may need to go try them on to really see how they'd look on my size 10 feet :)

I have 3 pairs and I love them. I find them really comfortable and I wear them all the time. I just ordered their ballet flats...they are so cute. Do try them on because you want them to fit a little snug as they stretch. I normally wear a 10 and my Toms are 9.5.

I have a pair too and like them. I have a blue and white striped pair. I feel like they are a bit dressier than slip on sneakers like converse but not as fancy as flats. I am not sure about longevity- but they are sturdy enough. I wear them with jeans and t's usually.

I have a pair of the wedges that I LOVE. They are very comfy, but the heel is a bit higher than I'm usually comfortable in. So they are my casual-but-going-out shoes, like for mom's nights out with my girlfriends or casual date nights. So far they look brand new even though I've worn them quite a bit.

The classics aren't my style. But I LOVE those ballet flats! Gah, why did you have to post about those! I LOVE the red print ones, but geez, almost $80 for canvas flats?!?!? I'd love to find those cheaper...

I did just see LE has a similar product this spring....they look a bit more casual though. But they are cheaper!

I don't know what it is about Toms but when I see them I can only think of those old Karate shoes that everyone wore when I was in elementary school. LOL

The ballet flats are cute though.

My neighbors DD had a pair of toms with metallic threading ... they fell apart ... all the threads were coming out at the toes. I think they exchanged them but the 2nd pair started doing the same thing.

I saw the ballet flats the other day in one of my Nordstrom emails. I think they're super cute.

I've tried their classics on before and they look horrible on my feet but I would love the ballet flats. Unfortunately Tom's seems to run too narrow for me.
