TOMs shoes, anyone have them?

So I saw a guy wearing a pair yesterday and they seemed sweet. I am not sure if I can pull them off since I am a bigger guy and not much of a hipster I guess, but I still like them overall. Are they comfortable?

I am thinking about surprising the wifey with one of these maybe

I've never seen a guy who can pull them off, but I see girls with them all over the place.

Yeah so let me clarify, I saw them on a guy and thought they looked cool, wished I could rock them, decided I couldn't, now I want to get some for wifey.

seems like a decent idea man, i'm sure your lady would appreciate it and enjoy a nice comfy flat shoe.

looks like they come in multiple colors too

I rock these. Love em both



But to be quite honest I feel like the slipper style ones are real hard to pull off if you're a dude. JAH

Unless you rock skinny's or are some kind of hipster then probally not :( you can go for the ones with the laces though. I have a pair and love them but after a bunch of walking, roaming, and festival partying, they stink! Throw them in the freezer to get out the stank. If you like TOMS, check out EVERYDAY APPAREL!!!

I think anyone wearing a red pair of toms is sexy.
Get her the red ones.

I've seen a few guys wearing them and IMO, they pulled them off. Plenty of chicks wear em. I wouldn't mind picking up a black or grey pair. Don't know if I can pull them off though.

Buy Vans instead. Toms are shitty and overpriced shoes. Don't perpetuate the smug douchery that is TOMS

Toms has a sweet thing going. For every pair sold, they will give a pair to a kid in africa in need of shoes. That makes me want to buy them even more.

This, and I must admit I have a pair as they are a comfy option for summer footwear, as well as being good to drive in!

Probably OK on a girl, but fugly on a guy. Can't stand the look of them, I think that Sanuks look much much better.

Toms makes different styles than just those slipper types. I have a pair of these:

I don't wear them that often, only on moderately formal occasions, but they are super comfortable.

Here's an idea: buy a pair of shoddy canvas shoes for half the price of Toms, wear them, then buy another pair and send it to someone who could use the shoes.
