Toms

I used to like Toms a lot and its purpose of helping out a country by providing shoes for the less fortunate considering I do a lot of service myself. However, as the time started passing and the price for Toms started rising... I thought otherwise. 

1) First problem I had with the shoe is that it's very simple and nothing too fancy about it (which is fine) but I have to pay $40 to get the shoe. At first I was like fine it helps kids in need. 
2) THEN, I was not okay with the fact that every time I would wear the shoe, my foot would smell like a dead monkey and I had to take a shower the second I took the shoe off before I killed my dog.
3) I DON'T SEE ANY VIDEOS OR STATISTICS OR FOLLOW UPS OF TOMS GIVING THESE KIDS IN NEED THE SHOES THAT I PAID FOR. ARE THESE KIDS REALLY GETTING THE SHOES I SPENT 40 DOLLARS FOR?

That's the mystery question ladies and gentlemen. I mean don't get me wrong I love the idea of helping that's what I'm all about. I love helping others, but I would like to see it... instead of just imagining it. And I would also like a shoe that doesn't kill my dog every time I take my shoe off, but whatever you don't get everything you want. I'm just confused by the fact that I see people wear them with fancy or nice clothes. Like just because it says TOMS in the back with a little flag and it's a popular brand doesn't automatically allow you to wear it with your prom dress, I honestly don't understand why that even comes up in people's heads. Anyways, TOMS are overexposed and make your feet smell bad but go help someone in need.
