I was really happy with the look of my Toms. Ther are really comfortable and look great with everything. However, after two weeks I could see the outline of my toes through the tops of the shoes. After 6 weeks there was a hole in the toe of my right shoe. I work in a school where I do kneel on the floor with students frequently, but I certainly was not rough on them and did not where them every day. It makes me question the idea that these shoes would last a child with no other shoes more than a few weeks- which makes the one for one idea a little less wonderful if they are going to be ruined in a matter of weeks.
