I've always been eyeing TOMS but I never had the chance to really look into them. However, I got them as a gift in the ash color, and they were the perfect fit. I needed some sole support which it comes with, they fit true to size, and were easy to walk around in without having to break them in. They're casual yet athletic and are perfect for just about any informal situation. I've gotten tons of compliments on mine, and I can't wait to buy another pair! The only downside is that I wore mine so often that in 4 months, I had ripped a hole in them :( but otherwise, I love them and their two fold benefits. :)
