TOM's are everything everyone says they are. They're cute, comfortable, for a good cause, and they easily get a hole in the toe. Just like everyone says. I got my TOM's last year and wore them frequently until the holes got bad. They have been sitting dusty on a shelf in the mudroom ever since.
Enter the source of all ideas on the planet, Pinterest!
I read and pinned a few different tutorials on covering up that silly hole. So, with nothing to lose, I gathered some things I had on hand and tried it.
Patch the holes with iron on patches to prevent the problem from reoccurring immediately.
Then use a scrap of fabric and a ton of fabric glue and to for it. In this case the fabric was the bottom of a pair of pants that became shorts last summer so that was also free.TADA! I think they turned out just fine. Totally neat and presentable and a little colour blocking to up the trendiness factor. Yeah for pinterest once again!
I actually put some patches INSIDE of my Toms before my toe popped through and it has been working great...just an idea if you ever get new ones!
