pain free feet?

there are so many jobs out there where we are on our feet ALL day long.

whether it's just standing in one position hour after hour (surgeons, cooks...)
or running around like a mad-woman like me,

we NEED comfy shoes.

i never bought crocs because i was scared of blood or amniotic fluid falling into the holes.
instead, i have been wearing these black dansko clogs.

the good: my feet don't ache at the end of the day.

the bad: they are heavy and you can't really run in them.

i thought about getting a pair of toms for work, but never got around to it.

they do "one for one" - with every purchase, they give a pair of shoes to a child in need.
how great is that?!  and i heard they are super comfy.

but why buy one for me when there's TINY toms?  i couldn't resist & bought a pair for kaila.

samurai kaila always refusing to put new shoes on - luckily we have sesame street podcast!

what do you think?

toms is also doing a special "design your own toms" for kids at nordstrom this saturday.

i'm thinking i'm going to avoid the malls this weekend though...

if you are one of the brave ones, happy black friday shopping - don't get trampled!

and happy thanksgiving!
can't wait for the feast tomorrow!
