I like the idea of Toms and I like the look of some of their shoes. I was hoping these would work, but I can't 'do' shoes with any amount of tapering in the toe area. It's not natural for your toes to be squeezed in, and these shoes like most other shoes, have tapered toes, so I sent them back. I like my toes to be able to spread and they can't with these shoes.
