I bought a new pair of TOMS a couple of weeks ago when I was at the beach, and I love, love, love them! It’s actually a pair I’d seen online as a limited edition, and that were sold out before I could purchase. I never expected to see them anywhere else, but happened to stop into a beach shop in a tiny town on the Bolivar Peninsula, and found six or seven pairs on their sale rack. I’m so glad that was the case, because they’re my first pair where the sizing is really off (which appears to be a normal complaint if you read reviews of TOMS around the web). 

I normally wear a women’s size 10 (US), which translates to a men’s size 8. However, I tried on pair after pair, from men’s size 8, to 8.5, to 9 and 9.5, until finally I was trying on a men’s size 10, which thankfully ended up fitting. Crazy sizing, but the end result is great – they’re really fun shoes, and they’re just as comfy as my other two pairs of TOMS. 

Seize the Day!
