Ok, I'll admit that I was a huge skeptic of Toms. I thought they were ugly, too expensive, and a scam. I was forced to overlook my dislike for them when my sister asked that all of her bridesmaids get a pair of these silver glitter Toms for her wedding reception. I am can now proclaim that I'm a believer! These shoes are exceptionally comfortable (they're very light weight and almost feel like slippers), they are surprisingly well made and hardy, and the glitter stays on pretty well (I'll find the occasional sparkles on the floor). My only complaint it still the price, they seem a bit too expensive for what you get.
