TOMS

I bought a pair. Honestly, I've had my eye on a sweet pair of VANS boat shoes for the past few months, waiting for the right time to strike (AKA: when funds are not so damper), but then I heard about TOMS from a friend at school and fell in love. They're very similar and I can confidently say I like the styles equally, but TOMS offer something special...

Their mission (from the TOMS website)...

One for One
TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about.
