Toms vs. Converse

I am trying to decide if I want a pair of Toms or a pair of Converse for the Fall/Winter months. I am a nanny so I need a pair of comfy and resilient shoes that I can just throw on.





Converse look pretty cool and I already have a pair of light pink ones that I like. They are not super comfy though and they are not slip on which I would prefer.

I love the idea that for every pair of Toms you buy, a child gets a pair also. And I've heard that they are pretty comfy. But I did hear that you can't wear them in the rain and that they tend to stretch after a year.

What's a girl to do? The price isn't too different but I can only get one pair. Guess I'll just have to keep thinking about it.
