TOMS, the popular shoe that at first glance looks not ordinary. The shoe itself is made of cloth and stretches to hug your foot. The shape is remotely skinny, but not just your regular slip on VANS.

I have been doing some research on the TOMS brand and shoe and it turns that for every purchased TOMS, you give one pair of TOMS to a child in need in Argentina, along with the same trade off with Element/TOMS skateboards which will be distrubuted in a skate rink in Durban, South America.They call their trade off method the One for One charity and also explain why shoes can be important for protection, schools, etc. (http://www.toms.com)
As I have read along the lines of the TOMS website, I learned that the TOMS corporation sells Co-branded Polo Rugby line of TOMS.
The actual shape and fashion of TOMS has caught on as more and more people follow trends of buying them. The fact that maybe people bought them for the good cause, to follow other's trends, or to actually savor the fashion sense of the wrap around shoes. The TOMS brand carries wrap around shoes including glitter sequins, a variety of colors, vegan material, classics, linens, and artistry shoes along with a TOMS boot which to me could complete the final look of a mummy's Haloween outfit.

I find it is popular with YouTube sensation, youtube.com/user/livelavalive, LiveLavaLive--Mitchell Davis wears TOMS shoes and has promoted the brand, also. With many girls it is popular at my school. Though I have not bought a pair, seeing as the trend has been so popular it seems pointless, I am willing to blog about how they seem to be catching on.
The popular TOMS shoes with its variety of style and color is popular between those in my school and those outside and inside with men and women. The TOMS shoes is catching on faster and faster in the spring collection that will go well with a pair of light wash skinny jeans or a nice floral skirt. Ranging from $44-$98 depending on color, and style, the TOMS shoes is reasonable statement to participate in a good cause and a way to follow the Spring fashion. The TOMS shoes popularity rises, but ultimately, the choice is yours whether it's fashion sense or popularity.
