One for One

You‘ve heard about TOMS shoes, yeah?  Well every pair of TOMS shoes that you purchase, TOMS will give a child in need a pair - ONE for ONE.  How ace is that???

Why give children shoes?

Many children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk:

•A leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases, and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause.

•Wearing shoes also prevents feet from getting cuts and sores. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected.

•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 realize their potential.

So purchase quality shoes knowing that you are giving as well as receiving.  Their flats are super comfy and I‘m eyeing off these awesome wedges:
