Can MEN wear TOMS?

Mandy loves TOMS. She swears they're ultra comfortable and stylish. It's all my fault, as I ordered them for her as a gift [after she harassed me with email spam about them for weeks]. We're now on the TOMS mailing list and received their mailer the other day.

I was flipping through it and the first few pages were not hawking shoes, rather showing pictures from their recent trip to Argentina giving away shoes. It was fascinating and I was sucked in. Brilliant marketing strategy. They didn't even try to sell shoes for the first half of the magazine and I was ready to buy before I even got to the ads.

Then it dawned on me...I'm a guy. TOMS are "girl" shoes.

Not according to TOMS. They've come out with some cordones and oxfords. But they're also pitching their "classics" as men-approved.

More research was needed. I checked out the TOMS website. Hmmm. Is there a difference?

Let me know what you think. Not that it will change my mind, I'm just curious what the masses think. I tried to get some answers in last week's link up feature, but no takers, so now's your chance to vote!

I also had a survey for your men to take, but it seemed redundant:

Survey for men:   Q: Can MEN wear TOMS?

1. No.
2. Heck no.
