Changing the way we give back, one shoe at a time...

So, if you have not had a chance to check TOMS shoes out yet, WAKE UP! Blake Mycoskie and the TOMS family have quietly been starting a revolution in the way people approach the wonderful world of retail.

A serial entrepreneur turned social, for-profit revolutionary, Blake’s retail company TOMS has a very simple business model : "With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a new pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One." The one-for-one model started out small, and has quickly snowballed into a movement that is changing the face of philanthropy, one shoe at a time.


I'll go on record as saying these are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. If you're stumped on what to get a loved one this year, check out the video below for a little inspiration...
