Okay, what? I know this is my second blog in this series about shoes. I'm a girl; I LOVE shoes! More specifically right now I'm in love with TOMS shoes http://www.toms.com/.
I was eyeing these hippie-looking soles for a while before I heard the story of TOMS. I could tell it to you, but instead I chose to steal it from the source:
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.
So if you buy a pair of TOMS shoes (much like this adorable pair pictured, that I ordered this weekend) another pair will be given to a child in need.
Just another reason to go shoe shopping!! :D
