Ok, so Ive wanted a pair of Toms wedges for quite some time and recently started seriously stalking a pair online.  In reading the reviews I had reservations as many of them talked about how terribly uncomfortable they are.  Then something happened, everywhere sold out of the color I had my eye on... including Toms website!!  Obviously someone is buying them and I decided that I neeeeeded these shoes.

So heres the deal and it shouldnt be a surprise.  Toms are 100% man made materials.  That means that they take time and patience to break in. Theres no soft leather that quickly molds to the exact shape of your foot.  And, I might add that they are a heel which I never pop on, straight out of the box, and head out for the day like they're my favorite sneakers (that applies to any heel, not just Toms).  When they first arrived, I wore them while sitting on the couch watching a movie for a couple of hours.  The next day, which happened to be a lazy Sunday, I did more of the same, and walked up and down the stairs and back and forth to the kitchen.  I took them off here and there.  The next day was more of the same (did I mention Im a telecommuter).  Tuesday rolled around and I was feeling good about my Toms.  Wore them to take my child to school, all day while I was working, picked my child up, and then to a two hour meeting in the evening.

Through all of this, the shoes have been pretty comfy considering that they're a heel made of all man made materials.  The first two days I could tell I was breaking in a new pair of shoes but thats with any shoe.  Of course leather shoes will be much faster to break in but you're buying Toms for a reason right?  I think everyone that is complaining that these aren't as comfortable as their current Toms wedge have forgotten what its like to break in a pair of Toms.  Even the flats require some patience.  They are 100% mad made materials!!  Also, many of the reviews recommended going a size larger.  I elected not to and Im glad that I didnt.  Toms will stretch over time and I can tell that these will too.  Had I bought half a size up I would be walking out of them in a day or two.  (I don't have a narrow foot either)

This is my second pair of Toms but first pair of their wedges.  Im very please so far and Im pretty sure that in a few days Ill be trying to buy another pair but in my first choice color (natural yarn dye).  If you decide to go with these, remember to be patient and take your time breaking them in. If you're worried, wear them inside only for a couple of days (I did!)
