Green Things I Love: Tom’s Shoes

by kimbui on July 21st, 2008

I love my Tom’s Shoes.

Love them. I got them about a month ago, because I needed some new flats to tromp around in this summer. They were about $45 at my local shop and you can get them cheaper online.

So here is the deal with Tom’s Shoes. For every pair of shoes you buy, a pair of shoes will go to a needy child elsewhere in the world. So really, you’re buying two pairs of shoes. Great cause. So far 200,000 shoes have ben donated in 2008.

On top of that these are amazingly comfortable shoes. They are leather inside, but they won’t get all stinky. Mine are in the pretty polka-dot print and they come out with new styles every season. There’s even a cool madras print right now!

I will say that the soles wear out pretty quickly. They’re an EVA sole, so they’re very squishy but I drag my feet a lot, so the textured bottom is nearly gone. I don’t think that’s too terrible though. I can probably wear these for the rest of the year before I need to replace them.
