I was tired of my husband raving about his TOMS.  He kept telling me to get a pair.  When I finally did I was in disbelief.  Amazing!  So comfy!  My niece said not to wear socks with them, but I prefer to.  That is weird since I almost never prefer to wear socks.  Maybe I will change my mind come spring/summer.  They seem to be made really well and I just hate that I waited so long.  The Ash is a nice gray and hides dirt well.
