So I'm sure many of you have been seeing these cute comfy shoes just about everywhere or have even seen people walking around bare-foot in public areas. Seems strange right? Don't worry its for a good cause... After seeing these shoes and what they stand for I couldn't help but want to get a pair. I think the creator of this business was very clever and very sympathetic for the children around the world. I love to see people or organizations that offer good causes and services to others.
Here is some info about the TOMS movement:
"ONE FOR ONE MOVEMENT"
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.
