Last, but certainly not least, is the trend setter, TOMS. This company has brought a whole new meaning to word giving. It has created an industry standard for giving back to those in need, and we love everything this company has done, not only for their super cute shoes, but for giving back to communities who otherwise would be forgotten. Back in 2006, founder Blake Mycoskie saw the children of Argentina didn’t have shoes. Returning to the states, he created the shoe line TOMS. To this day, TOMS will donate a pair of shoes to children in need for EVERY pair purchased. This company truly proves that one man CAN change the world, and we are forever grateful. Do your part today by purchasing a pair TOMS, ensuring a child in need gets a pair as well. Visit their site at www.toms.com
