Toms Wearing Mama's

Are you a person that wears Toms??

I have a question and hopefully someone will have an idea or answer to my problem.

Toms are the ONLY shoes I will buy and wear. One because of their one for one policy...You buy a pair of shoes..They give a pair away to someone that needs shoes....But I also wear them because they are the most comfortable. Reliable when wet...to dry super fast and can get wet without being ruined.

I normally wear them with bare feet as I hate having the constriction from my socks on my skin.

Here is what I am noticing though.....I am poking holes through the top and side where my toes are rubbing constantly....I dont mind the holes as they add character.....But I am only getting to wear them for about two months before they start wearing through.

My husband gloated and was like..''I wear socks with mine and still no holes''.......Is that going to be the difference of a few months more wear holeless?? Wearing socks??

How do you wear you Toms.....How long do you get out of them before they fall apart?......I know they are shoes that have a long shelf life if you dont mind the extra character as you walk...And I love alot of character:)

No matter what they will always be the only thing I wear....I just had to laugh when my Burlap ones started showing the hole...Because I was sure that they would have been stronger...........The only ones I have had success in wearing alot without holes were my Fleece lined ones.

I love my Toms..........That is the only thing I guess that truly matters:)

What can I do next?

I don't think Toms are really designed well enough to be used in the way you are-every single day. I only wear mine occasionally and they are in great shape. I can see where they would not be though if I were to wear them all the time because they are actually pretty flimsy. I suggest wearing something else-try the Sperry deck shoes. I am amazed at how comfortable mine are and wll made. They have a lot of styles with "character" also.

Oh-and no sox with toms :)

My daughters wore out super fast! :( maybe you coul try those little sock liners? I wear them with ballet flats all the time, so you can't see them and they're really comfortable, you probably won't even remember you're wearing them! My favorites are the George ones at Walmart, or expensive ones. I've tried others and they always slip off my heel!
