Im not sure if any of you have heard about this new shoe company or not but I wanted to take a minute to highlight this philanthropic company called TOMS Shoes.
I was intrigued from the first time I laid eyes on their wide array of stylish shoes. They have lots of different choices for both men and women all with a simplistically modern yet rurally driven vibe that gives them a really different feel from the normal tenny’s. But what really drew me into this company was that when ever you purchase a pair of shoes, TOMS provides and delivers another pair of shoes to a child in need all throughout the world! One to One!
Thats when I was sold.. So I just got my second pair in the mail and I wanted to show you how sweet they are!
Those of you who know me know that my heart is the mission field. After returned back from Kenya the second time I knew what an impact having a good solid pair of shoes has not only on the body itself but in the poverty stricken community as a whole. Although I have not attended one of TOMS shoe drops I know from my experience what an impact it has on the joy and health in the community. I was glad to hear that TOMS focus is on Podoconiosis (Podo):
Podo is a debilitating disease that causes extreme swelling, repeated ulcers, and deformity in the feet and legs. Podo is 100% preventable with a good pair of shoes. Something that we so often overlook if it even crosses our minds in the first place. Millions of people are without a good pair of shoes or even a pair at all. With already over 115,000 pairs donated I am excited to see how God will use this company to deliver and provide shoes to people in need all throughout the world!

i love your desire to serve and help provide for others. let’s go make a shoe drop!
Hey! I know TOMS too! I actually owned their first generation shoes, but have yet to wear them because back then the material was still a little stiff. But just the fact that they’re donating one pair because I bought that pair made it all worth it. I am crushing on their new generation shoes though! So many options! Are they comfy?
Soo comfy!! I have the first generation pair also.. you have to break them in first then they get quite comfy
