Should I buy VANS or TOMS?

You should most definetly go with the TOMS. Not only is there the "one for one" they look nice and they are light on your feet, good for running, walking, biking and other outdoor activities. Vans are kind of clunky like on your feet and its not as easy to run in them. You should either get the olive or chocolate because the red are a little to bright for walking around and get dirty very easy.
