I question putting babies that are learning to walk in them, though. I worked at an early childhood center for a bit this past spring and summer, and was surprised at the non-supportive shoes that people put their just-learning-to-walk babies in. Cute, but not helping them.
"They continue to be ubiquitous where I am, but to me, they look like colourful Ace bandages on one's feet. The soles are also too insubstantial for my taste."
Exactly this.
If I have to have loafers, they'd better be Vans, they'd better be made of canvas and have black-and-white (or black-and-red) checkerboard patterns printed on them. Toms just look and seem so... cheap. (And feminine.)
If I need a slip-on, I'm picking Minnetonka moccasins (although they suffer the same insubstantial sole issue, and can't be worn for extended periods of time) or Chuck Taylor Shoreline slip-ons. I have those in cloud grey, and they get allll kinds of wear. Much more flattering on my foot than TOMS.
The company definitely seems interesting. But their shoes are just ...ing ugly. It makes me comment any time I see some hipster dude wearing them ("hey, great shoes, man. Do they sell men's clothes where you got them?").
My thoughts exactly! These shoes are an instant turn-off on women and men shouldn't even consider them.
This is more my style, but I'm not certain I'd shell out that much for a pair of flats. Nice pumps, perhaps, but to me, flats are expendable.
