I've Joined the Movement...

The Toms movement that is...

OK, so in the beginning I didn't have a taste for Toms footwear. It's the same reaction I had with both Uggs and Crocs when they came out. I thought they were ug-ah-lee! They for sure are not the prettiest shoe but now that I own my very first pair, I can say that they are sooo comfy! There was no break-in time and the sizing was right on - I wear a 9. The base is so comfy and well padded to me. I absolutely LOVE my Karate shoes (my hubs nickname for them :-P). They even go with just about everything from skirts to shorts to pants! Truly a versatile shoe!

So what changed my mind, you may be asking? It's Toms movement. Their "One for One" promo. For every pair of shoes you purchase, they give a pair of shoes to a less fortunate child.

This is absolutely wonderful in my mind! Buy a shoe and help another person out! I'm totally in!

It doesn't stop there!

They also have this same deal with their eyewear. For every pair of glasses you purchase they will donate:

• Medical Treatment
• Prescription Glasses
• Sight-Saving Surgery

I can't express enough, how great of a movement this is! I am always trying to find ways to help others so knowing that all it takes is to buy a pair of Toms and a child is helped is HUGE! It really helps that these shoes are just great in general!

I even picked out a pair for Saya baby. They are SUPER cute and best of all, she loves them too! When they arrived she wore them day after day. She even learned better how to put shoes on with that pair. After seeing how much Saya loved her shoes, I seriously started thinking about my first pair.

Of course because they had so many patterns to choose from and I wasn't quite sure if I was going to like them, so I decided to stick with the Vegan Earthwise Slate charcoal colored shoe. I even got a vegan shoe! I feel like I helped the world a little bit (I know I have to do sooo much more, though)!

I think I am gonna have to go back and get a few more! Have you seen their ballet flats? Awe-some! If they weren't so pricey, I would have had all the pairs by now! I guess that really is a good thing then, huh? :)

Have you joined the Toms movement? If you haven't, I highly suggest you think about it. There really is a reason why so many people LOVE them! :)

What are your favorite pair of Toms (one's you purchased or on your wishlist)?
