Unlike other brands, TOMS shoes were created with charity, not profits, as its ultimate goal. The TOMS model is simple: For every pair of shoes purchased, the company will give a pair to a child in need in developing countries, who often go barefoot and are, therefore, susceptible to diseases, cuts and sores.
TOMS' vegan line goes one charitable step further, supporting the environment by using pesticide-free fabric and sustainable materials.
