TOMS reaches an incredible milestone, thanks to the support of customers and fans: 1,000,000 pairs of new shoes have been given to children in need around the world through the One for One model.
I am so proud to support
I am so proud to support Tom's in reaching the millionth pair of shoes in the one for one campaign. I am glad that Tom's is spreading the word about all the atrocities still happening to refugees around the world such as in Darfur. I also heard about this movie Attack on Darfur which is going to help spread the word even farther by showing how bad the situation is there. Hopefully between these two, more will become aware of the situation and will be able to help!

dancin' shoes
I don't suppose you would consider creating a split sole version for dancers? I am a teacher and I love how comfortable these shoes are. A split sole version would be great for teaching and even as part of a costume for performing!
The Incredible Milestone
That is awesome; I love the "one for one" movement. The movement has really inspired me and has made me want to get involved with your organization and others through your marketing aspects. Thank you for helping out children who are in need across the world!
Keep up the great work!

And, also consider making mens size 15 too please.
Shoes and ovens
Seriously, come to Bolivia! We visited San Benito, a small town outside of Cochabamba, last week while delievering solar ovens. We met a large number of children without shoes in houses without floors. Solar ovens are changing their lives as they are no longer subjected to indoor air pollution, but their needs are still great. A shoe drop would contribute to the continuing development in that region.
1 million shoes!!!
Congratulations! That is a big friggin' deal. Hopefully sets a new model of social responsibility for other companies. Yes, it is possible to be wildly successful and do good!
P.S. Please make more wedges. So cute!
