I bought Tom's shoes 6 days ago and wore them 3 times, mostly on campus using sidewalks. In that short of time, the canvas began to fray and actually rip away from the heel on both shoes. These are very cheaply made and after paying $45 for a pair, I would expect them to last more than a week. Are the children in Haiti and Argentina running around with ripped Tom's shoes as well? Give these shoes the BOOT and donate money instead.
