I had always loved TOMS, but after two pairs I don't think I'll buy them again. Though they are light and I like their concept of buy one, give one, these shoes barely last me one summer. I don't know if I just walk hard on them (I doubt it, I'm only 5'1" and under 100 lbs), or if they just aren't made to last, but I only got to wear them for one season and then had to throw them out because I had worn through the sole.
