This is a link to the website for Toms Shoes. Toms Shoes is a company started by Blake Mycoski
after a trip he took down to Argentina, where he saw a very characteristic shoe type worn by local farming villagers (algaparta), and became inspired to start a company that manufactures variants of this particular design.
At the same time as the founding of his for profit company in the US, he also started a non profit arm of Toms which gives one pair of shoes to a child in need in a variety of countries for every pair sold in the Profit arm of the company.
The shoes are also sustainably manufactured and the company has won numerous awards for its philantropic efforts.
This is a picture of one of their shoes. The design seldom varies but the fabric pattern and colors vary greatly...
