This is an extremely comfortable shoe, almost like being barefooted. Love the color. The concept is that, if you buy a pair of Tom's shoes, they will buy/send a pair to a child in need. At $57.00 a pair, YOU'RE the one buying the extra pair. One pair of these shoes alone is not worth $57.00. It's a very simple shoe. That being said, I don't mind in the least buying a pair of shoes for a child in need. It's something I want to do. It's just that their commercials are misleading. Otherwise, great shoes!
