one for one

I have known about TOMS shoes for quite some time now. Their philanthropical roots are truly admirable, but I never really paid attention to the shoes until last week when Josh and I were out to dinner, and I noticed them on a girl at the next table. The more research I did on these simple little shoes, the more I found that people loved them...raving about the comfort and fit. I am happy to report that yesterday, both I and a child in need received a pair.

From TOMS website:
TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about. The TOMS One for One business model transforms our customers into benefactors, which allows us to grow a truly sustainable business rather than depending on fundraising for support.
