I got these for the wife as a back to school gift. I haven't had much experience with Toms so I didn't know what to expect. Some reviews on here mentioned that these aren't that durable and fall apart quickly. After this pair and getting myself some, we haven't seen that. Plus they have the most unique look and the company is one of the coolest around. They do seem to run a bit narrow though. Not a huge issue but you might want to get a half size bigger.
