I first heard about Tom's shoes at Church about 3 years ago as an example of someone who was in business to help people around the globe. Blake Mycoskie the founder of Tom's shoes when he graduated from college spent several months traveling through South America. He noticed in almost every country he traveled through the majority of the rural population did not have any shoes on their feet. Blake came home wanting to start a shoe company that not only made profits but also donated shoes to the poor families around the world. Tom is committed to his early vision and for every pair of shoes he sells, one pair of shoes is donated to a child or adult in a foreign country. I love to hear about business that is more than making profits and jobs, this is a lifestyle business that has a huge mission and making a difference around the globe! Go get your pair of Tom's today TOMS SHOES
