TOMS Wedges - The perfect summer flip flop alternative

Toms WedgesI've kept my eye on TOMS shoes for a long time, hoping for a style that might just fit my fancy over their classic flat slip on that I just don't think I can pull off. And I think I just found it in the newest member of the TOMS shoes family.

 

Lucky for me, TOMS's awesome new canvas wedges launched just when I was on the hunt for some summery footwear other than my beloved flip flops, and they do not disappoint. These sporty, ridiculously comfortable shoes are like your favorite bright canvas sneaker with a little "umph" and a cute wedge heel.

I'm a big fan of a few key design components like the rounded toe opening, the elastic over the arch (or thereabouts), and the cushioned, suede insole that prevents you from sliding around - all of which makes it clear, to me at least, why people love TOMS so much. I could, however, do without the sizeable TOMS label on the back heel, but knowing that every purchase of their shoes gives a pair of shoes to a child in need helped me get over it.

From what I hear from seasoned TOMS shoes fans, they're supposed to fit pretty snugly at first as they break in quickly and mold to your foot, and that they did, after wearing them for an entire day of traveling (read: running through an airport with a 5-year-old).

And considering I grabbed them over my flip flops for a quick trip to the grocery store this morning, I'm pretty sure this is love at first wear. -Kristen
