Toms Shoes





Toms shoes is the outcome of a relatively simple thought that came into the mind of Blake Mycoskie that means a pair of shoes donated for every pair of toms shoes that is sold all across the world. These shoes are donated to the under privileged people who do not have access to even a pair of shoes to cover their feet. This simple and charitable idea hit the mind of Blake Mycoskie in 2006 when he visited Argentina and found that there were millions of people who could not even afford a pair of shoes.

When he returned to America he decided he would set up a mission whereby his company Toms shoes would donate a pair of alpargata shoes to the needy people for every pair of Toms shoes that is sold in any part of the world. Today Toms shoes has become a trend setter and is a world known brand among philanthropists and others alike. Five years down the lane, today Toms shoes has outlets in many parts of the world and as of date they have donated more than 100000 pair of alpargata shoes to the needy all across the globe. Their popularity has been on the rise ever since and in the year 2007 Toms shoes was awarded the People's Design Award that was decided by an online voting system.
