In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers.
These pairs of Toms just came in the mail and I've had my eye on this design for a while, i love the way the purple and the beige blend in together. They're very comfortable and perfect for the summertime. And my favorite part about the shoes? When I slipped them on, I didn’t want to take them off. What's really special about Toms is not only do they go with everything but everytime you purchase a pair you donate shoes to children in third world countries. I hope you enjoyed watching the video, it pretty much sums up how the company started and how they have helped many children all over the world that walk barefoot everyday and die from many diseases because of the poverty in their countries. With the help of Tom, he has saved and put smiles on many children. It's amazing how buying a pair of shoes for yourself can help somebody else.
