toms shoes are trendy loafer/slip-on shoes made by a guy who was on the amazing race (reality show). they haven’t reached annoying mainstream crocs/tevas/keens/uggs trendcentral yet, but it looks like that’s their monosyllabic aim. i think they’re a really cute alternative to canvas or leather loafers like vans. cindy from true north style really sold me on them with her cute posts. the only problem so far is that the styles on the toms site are mostly ugly, but i found some cute styles on revolve clothing’s web site (make sure to check retailmenot.com for discounts). cobalt blue suede toms by toms shoes ($71).
