Stuff I Love - TOMS Shoes

By now, many of you have heard of TOMS Shoes. I first learned about them about three years ago.

They were created by a guy (who is not named Tom) named Blake Mycoskie (he's the one in the picture) with a simple premise.  Make a great product and give a great product away.  One for One.  He focused on shoes.  And for every single pair of shoes the company sells, they donate a pair to a child in need.  And by that, I mean a child who would otherwise not have shoes.


To date, working on that simple premise, that have donated more than 600,000 shoes to children across the world.


I have purchased two pairs of TOMS myself and love them.  Not only are they cute and super comfy.  But, let's be honest, I love that each time I wear them I can think that, perhaps, somewhere out there is a kid wearing shoes because I am.


They just unveiled a new style.  The wedge.  L-O-V-E it!  I ordered mine today.


They have men's shoes.

Kids' shoes (ah, to have a girl...).  And how cool to be able to tell your kids when you are harping on them encouraging them to put their shoes on, that somewhere this is another kid wearing shoes because of them.
 And of course, they still sell their original classic styles, too.

Right now they are having a summer sale at TOMS Shoes.  If you use the code "FATHERS5" you will get $5 off your entire purchase.  So there you be.
