What can I say?  They are what they are: light, comfortable, canvas shoes.  But I think the draw of TOMS are more than the shoe, themselves.  Its the philanthropic mission behind the shoe: "With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.  One for One."  That's a stand I can get behind!

Buyer tip: I read a few reviews that suggested buying a size up, which I did and they fit quite nicely.
