Tom's Flats

I used to wear high heels. And then during the first semester of medical school, I stood on my feet shadowing a family physician for 2 weeks. The first day I wore heels, then I went to Old Navy and bought 3 pairs of flats and have never looked back. Currently, my favorites come from urban outfitters. Specifically the brand Ecote. I have gotten 3 pairs in the past year and they are my favorites to wear to work everyday. I also have another 10+ pairs that I've collected and rarely wear.

I also love my ugly clogs by Danskos. I bought them because everyone in the Operating Room swears by them. At first I didn't think they were that comfortable but I've come to realize that I go for them when I'm being lazy in the morning and want my feet to be happy and supported. I have a basic black pair and they are pretty ugly. When I'm an attending I will be getting myself a really cool pair. It is too bad none of those are really that cool, but probably in 20 years (when I'm done with my training) there will be lots of pretty options. For now, I'll stick to blending in.

And the real reason this post came to be is because Tom's came out with some flats and I cannot wait to get a pair (hint, hint...my birthday is April 4). I have never gotten their popular "classics" because I don't really like their look but I do hear they are quite comfy. Also, just an fyi, there slogan is "With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need." Who knows if that is really helping the world.
