lovin’ my TOMS

I took these pictures right after I bought my TOMS, about a month ago. At the time I had no idea just how much I would love them, but I was excited for my photo shoot nonetheless!

I can safely say that these have to be the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. And my favorite part about TOMS is not the comfort, but the movement behind the shoes.

In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers.

I just love them.

After much debate between the gold glitter TOMS and these more “earthy” natural burlap TOMS, I decided to go with the latter. Much more practical for my lifestyle, they are flippin’ saaaweeeeeeet:

I have yet to go a day without feeling the love for these shoes.

Shoes, I love you. YES. I do.

They go with everything and I feel like I’m walking on air.

Yay TOMS.

Join the One for One Movement and get yerself a pair of these cuties. The colors and fabrics are endless it might even be hard to choose. But whatever pair you end up with, you will love them and your feet will love them too.
