TOMS Shoes - Learn to be fashionable and ethical
TOMS shoes is a lightweight footwear manufacturer based in California USA. It was founded by Texan entrepreneur, Blake Mycoskie. Upon visiting Argentina seeing many people without shoes he had an idea : 'I'm going to start a shoe company, and for every pair that we sell, I'll give a pair to someone who needs them'. With that statement, his unique business idea was born. To date, over a million shoes have been given to children in over 20 countries in the One for One movement.
When Mycoskie was in Argentina, he took to wearing the local alpargata shoes. It is this style of shoe that has been used by farmers for hundreds of years, and was the inspiration of the classic TOMS shoes style. Mostly produced in canvas or cotton, they are manufactured in many different styles including wrap boot, stitch outs, cordones, and botas. The sole is typically made out of rubber.
TOMS shoes currently manufacture both men’s and women’s in Argentina, China, and Ethiopia. TOMS operates a strict policy of paying fairly under sound labour conditions, and following local labour standards
