Toms Shoes

Watch this.
I dare you not to cry.

I had heard about Toms Shoes and wanted to find out more about their cause, so I visited their Web site. Within moments, I was 150 percent behind their mission.
For every pair of shoes you buy, Toms will donate one pair of shoes to a child in need.

No overhead costs.
No fine print.
No strings attached.

Just shoes for children throughout the United States and around the world who are in need.

It took me five minutes to decide that I was going to buy a pair of Toms Shoes, but it took me about an hour to decide on the pair I wanted — there were so many cute styles to choose from.

I finally decided on this Chili Tie Dye pair.

I love how the fabric creates two different patterns on the front.

And then comes together around the back.

With every step you take, you have literally helped better someone’s life.

And there is no greater feeling in the world than knowing that you can be part of such an extraordinary movement.

W/S Kambing.I’m not sure about that, but you could always contact them via e-mail — click this link: http://www.tomsshoes.com/content.asp?tid=238 or telephone 800-975-TOMS (8667)or 310-566-3170. Some of their stuff is vegan, so if you feel uncomfortable wearing animal skins, maybe you can look into some of the items in their vegan collection. Hope you find what you’re looking for!

Hi Sarah. They are true to size. I wear an 8.5, that’s what I ordered, and they’re a perfect fit!
