About TOMS Shoes

TOMS Shoes was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie. He was inspired by a trip to Argentina, where he saw brutal poverty and terrible health conditions. To top it off, many of the children he saw were walking around without shoes on. His idea was to make an American version of the the traditional Argentine alpargata shoe, which are simple and easy to make, and for every pair of shoes he sold, he would give another pair away to needy children. As of April 2010, Mycoskie has given away 600,000 pairs of shoes.

TOMS donates shoes in 20 countries with the help of various charities, non-profits and other NGO's (Non-Governmental Organizations), who incorporate shoes into health, education, hygiene and community development programs.

Since 2006, TOMS has gone on to develop several different styles of shoes for men and women. They tend to be a bit pricey for what they are, but at the same time, those fancy gym shoes you're wearing don't directly put shoes on the feet of some poor forgotten child. So buy TOMS often.
