Gotta love TOMS

If your anywhere near a beach community or have been paying attention to trends in shoes at all you probably have noticed the new TOMS craze. The TOMS brand is not only popular but a huge role model for other retailers. This company was created by a man named Blake Mycoskie in 2006. This world traveler came to realize that a lot of third world countries had people who could not even afford to buy their children a pair of shoes to protect their feet so he created the one for one motto. For every shoe a customer buys he gives a pair to a child in need.I took an interest in TOMS because it combines a sense of relaxed fashion as well as stands for something great at the same time. Fashion is at its best when its giving back.

These shoes are comfortable, in style and are part of a strong movement so you can not go wrong. TOMS offer several different styles. They have the Botas which look like retro sneakers and they are offered in many different colors or prints.

They also have Cordones which resemble Keds and they also come in different colors and prints

 The most popular shoe hey sell is the TOMS classic, the classic comes in a variety of colors and prints and even unique glitter versions.

TOMS even has a section of Vegan shoes that are not made with any animal products. This shoe is made with pesticide free fabric, recycled and sustainable material.

 TOMS has been working to spread their good natured attitudes to other companies,Ralph Lauren co-branded with TOMS for Polo shoes which for every pair sold they gave another pair away. Element skateboards also joined TOMS and for every skateboard bought they sent one to a child at a skate camp in South Africa. If you want more information on the TOMS way of life you should look at their website, they are looking to start TOMS clubs at college campuses and have great internship opportunities.http://www.toms.com/.
