Make shopping for you good for the rest of the world. In order to participate in such a movement, you should definitely look into purchasing TOMS Shoes.

·         This movement is titled One for One. The idea behind this movement is that for every pair of shoes you purchase of TOMS shoes, one pair is given to a child in need.

            This movement came about in 2006 when the an American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, took a trip to Argentina and found that these children contained no shoes in order to protect their feet. After having completed research, he found that one of the leading causes of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted diseases. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases, and can also help prevent cuts and sores on the feet of children. Many children in developing countries are unable to attend the public schools because there is a required wardrobe in which they lack, providing shoes may help them obtain their education.
            TOMS Shoes also participates in the event called One Day Without Shoes, this is a day when all participating individuals take off their shoes in order to raise awareness. This movement is so inspiring, and the shoes are very cute.
