TOMS canvas 'Be the Change' flats at Shopbop

tomss2000312397_prod_zoom_f.jpg I'm afraid I have to confess to not really "getting" TOMS shoes. They've been seen on a lot of celebrity feet recently, and have attracted a good deal of positive press, but while I certainly admire the company's ethics (for every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS give another pair to a child in need, which is a wonderful thing to do) I just can't learn to love the design. These shoes have the phrase "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" printed over them. Great sentiment, but do you think they're great shoes? If so, you'll find them for just $42 at Shopbop.

Agreed. The company policy is great, but they look like house slippers.

They look like they are sloppily crafted out of a newspaper for me.

There is absolutely no need for shoes that support a good cause to look like wadded up newspaper. Really now.

I think they are amazing. I own 6 pair of Toms (including the ones pictured above)! I remember when I first saw them, they were a little oddly shaped, yes. BUT they grew on me. They are actually really comfortable and I can wear them with anything from shorts, to business casual office attire.
