I bought the classics in the smaller sizes, so hopefully those will last better. The chambray is still a couple sizes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly/page/2#post-1434448 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:35:05 +0000 BananaPancakes 1434448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: We have a couple of pairs of the classics. They've held up fine. I also have an adult pair of the bimini's and they just weren't as good as quality as the classics, I think. They aren't crap, they just don't seem to be quite as sturdy. The classics have more of a heavy twill fabric. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly/page/2#post-1434425 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:30:32 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1434425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: Oy! I doubt they will react any different than the blue ones. I'll just pray that they never suffer projectile vomit, which is what has baptized their current shoes and required washing! Just out of curiosity, do you have any other baby Toms? If so, have they done the same thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly/page/2#post-1434359 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:07:33 +0000 BananaPancakes 1434359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Well they did last through a shoe size, but I wouldn't pass them down to another kid. They actually pilled pretty bad and lost shape after the first wash, but the red color could behave totally different. I wouldn't sweat it. They are so cute! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly/page/2#post-1434346 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:02:04 +0000 twodoghouse 1434346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Aw, you're so sweet. I'll check when I get home on the size. I think they are really small, though, which is another reason it's sort of silly to buy another pair! I don't know if they'll even need shoes at the point that their feet would fit in them. But again, this is what I get for buying things before I'm even pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434332 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:57:13 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1434332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Ha! Ask him if he wants to share underwear and shoes with his sister! :-) (although sharing cloth diapers does undercut my argument.) P.S. What size are the pair of Toms you have? Maybe my dudes can pass down a pair! ETA: I'll totally keep one pair in case we have another LO, but fingers crossed we won't need matching Toms in the future!</p> <p>@BananaPancakes: Ughh...not good news with my rowdy little tyrants. They always get their shoes and socks filthy. I have no idea how since they are only barely starting to walk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434316 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:52:31 +0000 BananaPancakes 1434316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have those in blue chambray! I think the red would be fine for a boy. I will say they didn't hold up as nicely as I'd hoped, but I did have to wash like like 4 times, so that could be it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434313 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:51:50 +0000 Greentea 1434313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them! Great for boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434311 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:50:59 +0000 LatteLove 1434311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them for a boy! My husband has a red chambray shirt he wears all the time - totally ok for boys :-)</p> <p>I bought the same pair on Zulily today - figuring it is gender-neutral! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434304 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:48:32 +0000 Veggiemama 1434304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love these! I definitely think they would be great for boys. I often dress my boys in red, orange, purple etc. Although my oldest has a red and white striped shirt and has been called a girl every single time he wears it, so weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434296 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:47:11 +0000 twodoghouse 1434296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: That's what I told him this morning! I said he'd have to explain to the one with no Toms why he/she is loved less. He didn't cave to this sort of logic! Also, he thinks they should just be fine with sharing...? Sharing toys and clothes is one thing, but shoes? I don't know. But he said we're going to make them share diapers so... Haha. I bought the first of Toms a year ago during the Zulily sale before we were even pregnant which is why we only have one pair int he first place. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434295 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:46:39 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1434295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @lawbee11: Good! I think they're kind of unisex depending on the outfit they're worn with, but I started second guessing myself because a friend saw them and said, "Are those for girls? Is DH going to flip if you put the boys in girl shoes?" Ahh...the peanut gallery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434285 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:43:32 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1434285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Not to be an enabler, but . . . surely he doesn't want poor little twin #2 to have a complex, right?!? :silly: Things like this are one thing I sometimes struggle with about having twins. If I buy one of whatever item at whatever price, it doesn't seem excessive, but if I buy two it starts to seem like a lot of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434280 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:41:09 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1434280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434275 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:39:48 +0000 dolphin 1434275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a boy can totally rock those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434269 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:37:43 +0000 twodoghouse 1434269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are absolutely adorable.</p> <p>Also I'm jealous because I promised my husband I would not buy another pair of baby toms on Zulily today even though we only have one pair and I think the other twin needs a pair too. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434267 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:36:51 +0000 kjpugs 1434267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they look girlier just sitting on their own- paired with a boy's outfit they'd look awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-toms-too-girly#post-1434262 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:34:25 +0000 lawbee11 1434262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: LOL that's exactly what I thought when i saw them!
