My Favorite Boots

TOMS 

Desert Wedge High Bootie



My favorite pair of shoes these days are my wedge booties by TOM’s. I wear them literally every other day because they go with every outfit and are so comfortable. Another benefit is I get tons of compliments when I wear them which I'm sure everyone can agree is awesome.

I honestly never heard of TOM’s until I attended a Direct Marketing Association (DMA) conference last fall in Boston. The Founder and Chief Shoe Giver Blake Mycoskie, was one of the keynotes and spoke about how he created a business model to help fund his passion for helping people. His model is very simple but impactful. For every product sold, a person in need is helped. His business started off as every pair of shoes sold resulted in a pair of shoes given. Today it has expanded to include eyewear, bags and coffee.

After having luck with first pair bought, I went back and bought a similar pair in brown and a pair of their traditional flats. They are just as comfortable when walking around the city or traveling.

Do you have a pair of TOMS? If so what’s your experience with them?

For those who are interested in buying these shoes, they are still available at Nordstrom, buy them right now, you won't be disappointed.

  2. I'm also a fan of Toms. Initially their line was functional but kind of dull. They have stepped it up (pardon the pun) big time! I own open toe shoes with a moderate heel they are comfortable and neutral - so easy to wear! Mostly I love the philanthropic gesture when I buy a pair.
