BUY SHOES!!!
Buy them from TOMS Shoes - Shoes for Tomorrow!
I watched this video and was immediately driven to buy shoes… OK, I will admit that I have an innate drive to buy shoes that I practice denying on a daily basis, but I admire them and sometimes salivate over them as well. I am on a mission to practice more conscious consumerism, supporting conscious businesses that are giving back to humanity. Blake, the founder of TOMS Shoes, gives us the opportunity to buy shoes AND give back. This makes me feel really good about buying shoes!
For each pair of shoes you buy, a pair of shoes will be donated to a child.
Since 2006, TOMS has given over 10,000 pairs of shoes to children in Argentina and 50,000 shoes to children in South Africa through the purchases of their customers. This year TOMS plans to give over 200,000 pairs of shoes to children around the world. The photos below were borrowed from their website showing their 2008 shoe drop to South Africa.

I am really into the idea of taking care of the world’s children! So if you are looking for a pair of shoes to kick around in this summer, consider buying TOMS shoes and donate a pair to a child in need. And if you really want to get involved, join them on a shoe drop. Visit the site to apply.
And not just shoes to kick around in on the boat this summer…
Check out the sexy wrap boot soon to be released! I look forward to pulling on a pair of TOMS when these fabulous boots are released. Not only will I enjoy the act of stalking these boots, but I will know that when I pull them on, I have given to a child.
How are you giving back? Let me know by commenting below!
