NEED SHOES?

Our Movement




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.



Our Story

In 2006 an American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by caring TOMS customers.



Since our beginning, TOMS has given over 400,000 pairs of shoes to children in need through the One for One model.



Our ongoing community events and Shoe Drop Tours allow TOMS supporters and enthusiasts to be part of our One for One movement. Join us.



Why shoes?

Most children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or just getting around, these children are at risk.



Walking is often the primary mode of transportation in developing countries. Children can walk for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help. Wearing shoes literally enables them to walk distances that aren't possible barefoot.



Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores on unsafe roads and from contaminated soil. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected. The leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted parasites which penetrate the skin through open sores. Wearing shoes can prevent this and the risk of amputation.



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.



There is one simple solution...SHOES.



Of the planet's six billion people, four billion live in conditions inconceivable to many. Lets take a step towards a better tomorrow.

THE BEST MACARONS I HAVE EVER TASTED!

When I attended the Ecole Valrhona in France, the pastry students were making macarons. I was able to taste these caramel cookies right after they were made. These macarons were the ultimate experience! I have never endulged in such a body transformation from a confection. My entire body was tingling and I wanted to scream! Macarons will melt in your mouth when you eat them, but these became a part of me. Yikes.....
