Toms shoes, men's size 7, supposedly
I bought these about three years ago, when i saw a lot of people wearing them. I liked the simple looks, and a lot of the ones I saw were falling apart, all the better, I like looking at and wearing decrepit shoes.
I was told by a friend who has the same small feet as me, that they were sized small. He bought women's size 9 in a department store and said they were snug I tried his, and found them a little loose for my tastes. . Although I usually these days get a size 6 or so to be snug on my size 7 or so feet, the smallest men's they had were 7, so that's what I ordered.
When I got them, they were really very tight, like a size 5. I thought maybe they sent me a women's size 7. Internet blogs said they should be really tight, they'd soon stretch, and they did. They now are very comfortably snug, not tight.
They also haven't worn as fast as I thought they would. But then I'm not using them for jogging, as one friend does, or for street soccer or skateboarding, which I understand they are popular for.
Actually recently I've been wearing the black ones more, for some reason. I also bought some Walmart look-alike, much less expensive.
As you can see here, the soles are worn, but not worn out. How anyone could wear holes in the soles before the canvas uppers were in tatters, I don't understand, but there are pictures, even here on Flickr, of just that. If you've worn holes through the soles, tell me how.
