While traveling in Argentina in 2006, TOMS Founder Blake Mycoskie witnessed the hardships faced by children growing up without shoes. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a new pair of shoes for a child in need. One for One. A minimal lifestyle, inspired by devotion to a creative, low-key lifestyle is highlighted through every TOMS collection. TOMS Shoes are made with everyday materials such as burlap, canvas and perforated chambray, ideal for any age.
