One for one..

TOMS....?
"What are TOMS?" you ask.
"Well they are the latest and created thing made didn't you know?!"

TOMS are one of the most brilliant ideas I believe someone has come up with in a long time. What they are, are shoes that you may purchase but not only with your purchase are you buying yourself super rad COMFY shoes, but you are also providing a pair of shoes for a child in need. One for one.



TOMS was created by a man named Blake Mycoskie. Blake was traveling through South America he came to realize that so many children were running around barefoot. The issues at hand are the fact that children depend on walking for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help.TOMS Shoes, a company took all of this into consideration and decided that they would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One.

So..when you order a pair of TOMS, you are actually purchasing a pair for a child in need in countries such as Argentina and Ethiopia.


Now, why shoes..??
Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to reach their potential and pursue their dreams of living. Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores on unsafe roads and from contaminated soil. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected. The leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted parasites which penetrate the skin through open sores. Wearing shoes can prevent this and the risk of amputation.
So there is one simple solution...SHOES.

TOMS has become quite popular and are now designing shoes for every occasion..!

You can wear them at your wedding!

So all you lovely bloggers..my suggestion to you is to buy a pair of toms. Not only are you giving yourself a new pair of cute urban inspired shoes, but you are changing a life for a child. You are providing them with a pair of shoes that may change their life tremendously. Have a heart. Buy some TOMS
