Fashionable Philanthropy



TOMS Shoes was created solely for improving the well being of children around the world. The One for One movement states, "With every pair you purchase, TOMS Shoes will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need." Blake Mycoskie founded the company in 2006. Mycoskie began his crusade for kids upon taking a trip to Argentina, where he observed extreme health concerns, poverty and children running around with no shoes. As of April 2010, TOMS Shoes has given over 1,000,000 pairs of new footwear to povern-stricken children worldwide.




Modeled after traditional Argentinian footwear, TOMS Shoes are functional, Eco-friendly, and fashion forward. The sneaker inspired shoe can be dressed up or down. Pair them with jeans, a vintage tee, and cardigan sweater, perfect for the collegiate on-the-go. Dress them up with a chic sun dress and fitted blazer for a daytime date. Help TOMS Shoes keep up the momentum of their charitable endeavors and step out in style.
