Natalie: I purchased the no shave November TOMS and got them a half size larger and started wearing regular socks, it helps with the awful barefoot Oder, comfort and they last a lot longer. They look brand new and have kept their shape

Jmans: I haven't tried to patch my heels yet.. But I think another patch should work! Mine also tear less if I were little socks with them. Maybe try that?

What is the email to emailing toms about broken or worn out toms so that I can be able to get new ones. I really loved my toms.

Dang I have 6 pairs of toms and I threw away all those toe patch placers haha I guess I gotta buy a new pair just to fix my others! But what about the back side? It's all tore up on the back where your heel goes

After knowing where the TOMS money goes, why not just buy a new pair of $40 shoes?

@Natalie that's such a sweet idea like helping the kids I think I might although I do have some exactly the same but not TOMS from Garage Shoes and they were £10 or about $20

Megan: TOMS is a "one for one" company with both shoes and sunglasses. "with every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need." I have three pair and wear them often! Very comfortable. Standard price is $44. Check 'em out on toms.com

Did you know if you email Toms about any wear they will send you a new pair? Two of my friends have had new ones mailed already!
