TheSTYLECCENTRIC

With bicycles as our only form of transportation on Nantucket, shoes quickly became an issue.  I needed a flexible, stylish, comfortable slip on.  A pair that wouldn’t get caught in the pedals.  A pair that can be easily cleaned.  A pair that looks casually stylish for job interviews. After online shopping, I quickly vetoed several forms of sneakers–while nikes may be colorfully hip, they aren’t appropriate for job searching. While Jack Purcell converse may have that classic nantucket prep feel, the laces just aren’t practical for summer days at the beach.  While keds may have that summer association, they would dirty too easily. After days of searching, I finally found the perfect pair, Toms. They come in several stylish colors of canvas. They’re extremely easy to slip on and off. And they’re perfectly appropriate for job searching. Plus, if you buy a pair of Toms a second pair is shipped to a child who can’t afford shoes.  Are you kidding me? All I have to do to help impoverished children is buy shoes?! When I heard this, I was hooked.  I ordered my Toms right away!  Check them out for yourself at http://www.tomsshoes.com.  Don’t forget to look at their wrap boots! Such a cool idea!
