One For One

The idea of Toms started with a man named Blake Mycoskie. During one of Blake’s visits to Argentina, he befriended many children who had no shoes to protect their feet from the hard Argentina earth. Moved, Blake decided to take action. He created a company, TOMS, that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a new pair to be given to a child in need. Later that year, Blake returned to Argentina with over 10,000  pairs of shoes. 
    Soon after the company's start, TOMS became extremely popular. It could have been their casual looks, or their comfortable design, or people just wanting to help out. No matter what it is TOMS are a great moral and fashionable trend.


One for one. Changing the world.
