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®. Today, Toms has achieved high status in the world of casual-yet-trendy fashion while maintaining its promise to aid those in need of protective footwear.
