For the love of Toms

It's no secret that I am a fan of Toms. They're comfortable shoes for a good cause and the new DIY canvas shoe.

Back in the day everyone was buying chuck taylors in white and being their own designer. Teen Vogue featured teens who were ultra creative with their chucks and other teen mags showcased easy to DIY designs.

Nowadays chucks are still big, but there's a new kid on the block. Toms mold to your feet and feel like socks, but let everyone know that you care about kids in Africa. And now they're fun to draw on, too! While you can buy them in a full spectrum of colors and sequins and, well, designs, you can also buy them in white. They probably won't stay white for long though. One boutique in Waco, Harts N Crafts, will take your white Toms and paint them like Easter eggs. Literally. One of the designs looks like an Easter egg. Take your Toms in and get them tie-dyed, splatter-painted, or done however you want.
