Toms Galaxy Shoes!

This is the most precious shoes among mine. The original one was TOMS Classic Navy. When I first found toms galaxy on pinterest, I just couldn’t think of anything but to find this… I first thought this was from Toms itself, brand-new design or something like that, but it was not. It was from individual artists(?) on their own customization. I could find some sellers (artists) from Etsy.com

I paid almost 75 bucks for itself, and shipping fee distinctively. There were various sellers from Etsy, and all different style of course. The seller that i chose was the one with reasonable price, on my own standard lol, and i liked her design the most. Of course, i read some reviews from her buyers which were all satisfied. There were not any negative comment for her! There was someone even from somewhere in south america. if there were photo reviews, it would be much better for potential purchasers. americans might consider that seriously.. People don’t do that, but that is such a useful thing for others! anyway.

well, as everyone can concern, handmade goods can be varied from extreme to extreme, because human can’t do as factories do. So i was kinda not willing to buy handmade goods, but… this toms galaxy tempted so much. It costs a lot, but i just wanted to try a lotto lol. And of course reviews from her buyers were all good, i ended up to order it.

When i ordered, i also sent a message to the seller. Actually i sent a photo of the design that i wanted, and she made it pretty similar to that one. umm.. i like mine more :) Looks like a true galaxy, right? i like galaxy fashion, thou.

Mine is Toms Classic women 7 1/2.

The procedure is like this; if i ordered, she buys a new pair of toms, and started to paint on them. After she finishes it, she sends them to the buyers. She did not even remove the tag! Maybe to show that it is really a new one? haha so i of course received that sticker and bag, too.

so i got it almost 3 weeks after.. It was super long to wait for these adorable shoes!! But it truly deserved. So adorable and i love it! they are the best for summer! and also spring fashion :) Maybe with a white shirt and jeans, or with shorts, it would be just perfect.

and well, the most significant thing about toms is that, one for one. So i donated one pair of shoes to someone in need in africa :) though it would not be toms galaxy unfortunately :/
