I am a shoe freak.
Ask anyone who knows me – I have a collection of shoes that most females would be jealous of. There isn’t one particular kind of shoe that I like – I have nikes, addidas, sperrys, slippers, flip-flops, wrestling shoes and baseball cleats in all colors from the standard black, brown and white to red, dark blue, light blue, turquoise, grey, green. I even have a pair of flowered hemp beach lace up shoes and a pair of sheepskin lined UGGS sneakers.
However, my favorite shoes are probably my TOMS.
I discovered TOMS a few years ago and have been getting a pair from my dad for Christmas for the past three years. I've given my mom two pairs of TOMS.
But it is not just the shoe that makes them my favorite – it is the story behind the company and what the company does and what the company stands for that I think is important.
For those of you not familiar with TOMS, the company matches ONE FOR ONE – for every pair of shoes purchased they give a pair of shoes to a child in need. This is to keep them healthy and to allow them to go to school. It is also not a one time thing – as they grow, they get new TOMS.
TOMS distributes the shoes on GIVING TRIPS.
This year, TOMS is taking 50 of their customers with them on GIVING TRIPS and I want to be one of the ones to go.
I want to put shoes on someone else’s feet and see them as happy as I am when I get a new pair of shoes. I want them to have the same opportunities I have had.
For me, this isn’t just a cool trip – this is something I truly believe in - this is an experience for my future.
