Toms- Shoes: Making A Difference Worldwide, One Pair At A Time

By Janine Rose Morley

It's easy to focus on the negatives that are all around in the world today. More often people are only looking out for number one, and their fellow man just sort of gets left to fend for themselves, whether they have the capacity or not. There are a few people, companies, organizations, and groups that are devoting their life's work to helping those who cannot help themselves. Companies like Toms- Shoes, whose commitment for those in need is refreshing.

Blake Mycoskie is the brain behind Toms Shoes. The company has devoted its business to aiding those in their simplest need: shoes. They give a pair away for every pair they sell, and this is no gimmick. Blake received the idea for Toms Shoes from a trip he took to Argentina. By befriending locals, he began to notice that many were without means to cover their feet. Some time later, back in the states, Toms Shoes was born.

Ever since day one at Toms Shoes, for every pair of shoes that was purchased, one was given away to someone who could not acquire some on their own. Paying it forward, in essence.

With Toms Shoes, you can find something new and unique for every member of your family. You can see their full catalogue online at: www.tomsshoes.com. There is an extensive amount of styles for youth, women and men. And they are currently working to improve on their "Tiny Toms" for the smallest members of your clan.

Another thing worth mentioning is that these shoes are actually affordable compared to other shoe companies. So you aren't hurting your wallet, and you are going to end up with a pair of shoes that you love to wear everywhere. It won't hurt your self-esteem to know that someone else gets some shoes now, too.

You can go out of your way for your global neighbor, by simply doing what you were probably going to anyway: buying shoes. This can be for yourself, someone else in your family, and Toms also offers gift cards so that your gift recipient can find their perfect pair. Remember, this is a pair of shoes for you, which works out to be a pair of shoes for someone else. - 29954
