Toms

We love our comfy Toms just as much as any other girl, and for Spring '12, the brand is giving us even more reason to wear its do-good shoes with a chic new silhouette: the Paris ballet flat. Not only are they a more stylish option for running around town, they're just as comfy — we checked it out ourselves — as Toms original style featuring the signature cushy sole. The debut Spring collection features a bevy or pretty prints ranging from cute chambray to fun leopard prints. As always, Toms will donate a pair of shoes to a person in need with every purchase you make. Check out the complete collection in the slideshow right now.

>> Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen can now add shoes to their ever-growing repertoire. The duo has teamed with Toms to offer three takes on the brand's classic espadrille — all with a luxurious, Olsen-cool slant, of course. Made from Italian-sourced wool, leather, and/or cashmere, the Toms + The Row shoes come in an urbane palette of soft greys and plaid.

Retailing at either $140 or $150 — about three times the Toms mainline collection — the selection isn't quite as affordable as your usual pair of slip-ons, but, just like the main line, each pair sold will also benefit a child in need. "Toms + The Row customers will have the ability to give back and create change with a single purchase," expains Ashley. Mary-Kate adds, “Having the opportunity to be a part of something so meaningful has made the collaboration with Toms special to everyone at The Row.” Click through to see the three new styles, available online now at Toms.com.

Chances are, you or someone you know wears a pair of Toms shoes, which means somewhere in the world a child who needed a pair of shoes got one. The one-for-one principle of Toms is expanding, this time to sunglasses and eyesight. Founder Blake Mycoskie partnered with Seva Foundation to create a program that will help give sight to people in need via medical treatment, prescription eyeglasses, and sight-saving surgery. How does the program get funded? Each time someone buys a pair of Toms sunglasses. This good deed is rather effortless once you get a look at the super-cool styles Toms debuted. The 101, 201, and 301 styles all have hand-painted stripes — in tons of pretty colors — that signify the purchaser (aka the giver), the sight recipient, and Toms. We think that's pretty cool, and we're particularly jazzed on the price: getting chic, Summer shades and giving the gift of sight will cost $135-$145. You can shop them right now at Toms.

I don't need to tell you how big of a statement your shoes can make — and since Spring is all about getting outside and strolling the streets, you're going to need a stylish pair of sneakers to brighten up your look while providing ultimate comfort. From classic to colorful to a little bit dressy, we've rounded up the top 10 cool kicks you need for the new season.
