Help me choose my shoes.

Narwhal

I didn't mean for that to rhyme, but I think I'll keep it.

I can't decide what pattern of TOMs I want. They're the company that gives a pair of shoes to a kid who needs them. I already have some ash gray colored ones. I love the style (I know it isn't for everyone) but I can't decide on the pattern. Help?

These two are cord material.

1. 

2. 

3. These are burlap. I like how natural they look. I'm into that.

4. These are sparkly where the gold is. 

5. I just think that these are fun.

GreenPepperBurger

I like number 4.

Elle1036

I vote number 2.

deburnin

I like #5 because they're different. I'd probably choose #3 because I feel like they would "go" with more outfits.

AudgiePodge

I'm torn between 4 and 5

jacquiroxx

I like the gold sparklies.   But it's also a well-known fact that I like anything sparkly.

SeaTea02

1 or 2 

loves2shop4shoes

I'd go with 4 or 5.  Have you seen the Saffron Cord ones?  They're a pretty yellow color and I remember you saying yellow was your power color.

Narwhal

Yeah, I saw those, and I looooove them. But unfortunately they're all out of my size. and they are just terrible with getting new ones in ones they run out.

CASK85

I like #3 best.

sparkles88

Number 4, but I'm biased. Anything sparkly always wins, as evidenced by my screen name

Hazel_B

I vote 3, then either 1 or 2.

PaigeMcC

3, 4 or 5.

<div>That's what I'm leaning towards, that's my thought process. But 1 and 2 look warm!</div>

They do look really warm....but you're not in an arctic climate like me so I don't think you're in fear of freezing;)

#5 is pretty awesome but I think #4 are my fav, plus they would match anything.

mellimel19

I like number 1. They look so comfy, I like the color and I love corduroy

Beads921

I like #3 best. Although I like them all and now I want a pair (I read an article about them in the paper yesterday).

Narwhal

TK isn't letting me quote.

Beads, I definitely recommend them. They're so comfy. They mold to your feet and it feels like you're wearing socks all the time. At least thats how the canvas ones feel. I assume the burlap would be a little different.

Wrkn925

Ummm, D.)-All of the above.

You can justify it by saying you bought 5 pairs of shoes for needy kids.

whereyat

I vote for #4 b/c I know someone who has #4 in gray sparkly, and they look very cool!  On hers at least, the sparkles are "muted" enough so that you can wear them with everyday clothes and not feel ridiculous.

desertsun

I vote for 2 b/c I like red and the cord ones are prob most practical and warm for winter.

StarGazingHiker

Oohh those are fun and look oh so comfy!

I vote #4!

<div>I know which ones you're talking about! These are a little different. The silver ones are actually glitter... these are more like a shiny thread material. But it's probably around the same thing.</div>

leia1979

I like #1 and #2. #1 is a practical color that would go with a lot of things.

Sorry I'm late in the game!

But, Toms get dirty really really fast, I've noticed. At school here they're really popular.  (and they're comfy) But, the lighter colors don't last so long because the material just picks up EVERYTHING.  So I personally would go with a darker color. Or the last one because they're so awesome looking.

<div>My ash ones are really light. They do get dirty quickly, but I just throw them in the wash and they're fine.</div><div>
</div><div>These shoes do get quite smelly, though.</div>
