Ok, so if you haven’t heard of TOMS yet then it’s time to come out from under the rock you have been living under. TOMS is a business started by Blake Mycoskie. Blake saw a need and started a movement that has grown TONS since 2006. TOMS (Shoes for Tomorrow) is based around one founding and simple principle:
With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.
One for One.
The TOMS shoes design is based off of a shoe type from Argentina. TOMS originally started with one shoe type, but have expanded to Cordones, boot wraps. For every pair of TOMS that you buy then send a pair to someone in need. TOMS does “shoe drops” in other countries and here in the US.
TOMS also has a national day of awareness they call “One Day Without Shoes”. Basically for one day you don’t wear shoes, and when people ask why you are not wearing shoes you explain to them how in many other countries kills don’t have shoes, and sometimes die because the lack of shoes. Here on TROY campus we have a strong group of people who support the TOMS movement, and are participating in One Day Without Shoes.
Go check out the website and learn more. Buy a pair of TOMS and support a good cause while you are browsing around!
