Lets talk about TomKat...

Oh my gosh remember when they were a thing?!?
I do, because I just watched a Katie Holmes style story on E! last week.. but anyway I'm not talking about that Tom, today I'm talking about these Toms...

Toms one for one sneakers.. would you call them sneakers? I wouldn't go running in them but I suppose they're a form of sneaks.. anyway I never hopped on that Toms train, I thought it was a great gesture I love when companies give back. If you don't know the story you can read about it here - Toms give back

 

But I just didn't see myself wearing them, they aren't really cute to me.. ? They're kind of weird looking and not my style, I figured I would never purchase a pair BUT THEN I got a pair for Christmas 2013 and everything changed...

 

^ these are the exact pair I received Christmas 2013

purchase them here - My toms

 

Christmas morning I was like "oh yeah, great, alright.."

That spring when I remembered "Oh hey I have those toms in the basement"

I put them on..

and I never took them off ever again.

End of story.

 

Seriously they are soooo comfy and go with everything!! shorts, pants, capris, fancy, formal, wedding...Wear them to whatever! They're like marshmallows on your feet! I wore mine until they legitimately died. Honestly they took a dagger to the heart.. It was tragic really.

 

I was at my grandparents house letting my dog out to pee and their driveway is pebbles (stones? rocks? I'm at a loss for what those driveways are, but you know) I stepped on an arrow shaped teeny tiny rock and it stabbed me right through the sole of my Tom!

Its the tiniest little rock but it must be as sharp as a knife because its now stuck in the sole and every time I wear them, my foot gets stabbed to the point of blood loss.

 

So I caved this year and bought a new pair. If it hadn't have been for the rock of death my other toms are in mint condition, even though I wore the heck out of them! The hardest part about ordering new ones was deciding on a style! I am so indecisive, I'm the kind of person who needs there to only be 3 choices not 300 because I will never pick!

After much debate I decided to go with these - My New Toms! 

They're neutral enough to go with anything, won't cut me off at the ankle like a dark or bold pattern would - because I need all the height I can get!

But yet they have a little flair with the inside design and the colour Agate is like a mild grey/greenish so it won't show the dirt like the cream colour would.



Anywho I am in love and have been dancing around the house in them for 3 days...

The shipping was incredibly fast!! I don't think it was a week and they were at my door and I also shopped the sale! I sign up for emails from everywhere, I knew there was a Toms save the shipping sale coming up so I waited for that. I may have been able to hold out for an even better discount but I really wanted them by April for a special vacay. (Never pay full price unless you desperately want something and/or its almost out of stock!)

 

Have you been wondering about the toms hype? I'm a hype believer now!

Have you boarded the Toms train??

Am I cray???

Or as these like sneaker marshmallow pillows for your feet????
