They are for me - maybe not for everyone. I'm pretty flat-footed, so who knows. Seems like the consensus here is that they're ugly, but who knows what demographic is responding. OP, if it matters, I'm 29 with two kids and I wear my Toms all the time... but, so does my teenage sister. I'm just not to the Dansko stage in life yet, I guess.


Not cute, not cute at all. I think they are just as bad as Dankso's, Tevo's, and dirty whit tennis shoes...they scream dog walker.

33 2 kids

Jimmy Choo's to work
FRYE boots with some jeans
Chloe Ballet Flats to walk the dog

I probably have more shoes than Imelda Marcos and I'd never wear those canvas old lady shoes.

I wish they were cute. But they are not.

I agree. The guys I see wearing Toms are wannabe hipsters.

I think they are very cute in a traditional preppy sort of way for the times/places you want to wear them.

OP, if they were so uncomfortable, why do you want to buy another pair?

There are those who love them, and those who think they are ugly as sin, so you'll have to decide which camp you fall into.

I've never worn a Croc so I can't vouch for its comfort, but I love my Toms. They feel like I'm wearing slippers and are similar in style to an espadrille, so they're not as whacked-out looking as a Croc... IMO.

I think they're ugly as sin ... but they're trendy, so it's ok.

Not for girls night or date night but playground/dog walking/grocery shopping? I tried the "ballet" style but they were really uncomfortable. I was looking at the gray ones...
