I own three pairs of TOMS and these have the least traction. My other's are the Bimini and one of the children's kind (I have a small foot). The no traction is not a huge deal for me, personally. However, they are great because they go with practically every article of clothing that I own and hide every speck of dirt. Also, they are super comfortable and can be worn all day. The grey TOMS have the cutest animal pattern inside which is a plus! And I have a narrow foot, and these are one of the only pairs of flats that I can wear.
My daughter is staring high school and she wanted Tom's in a color of her uniform and when we went to the Nordstroms they did not have them in stock and the associate looked online and said we will have them shipped to your home at no cost. Wow what service. When my daughter got the shoes they were exactly what she wanted and fit her so well. Thank you Nordstrom for making sure she had them before she started her big day in high school
