Founder Blake Mycoskie applies a truly unique strategy with his business called TOMS Shoes, which was established in the United States in 2006. The brotherly owned company Friends of TOMS co-exists next to the label TOMS Shoes and supports the exceptional idea of the founder. That is, for each pair of the stylish TOMS shoe that gets sold, an underprivileged child also obtains a new pair of shoes. Mycoskie decided to carry out this charitable business strategy after a sojourn in Argentina – and has had phenomenal success. Friends of TOMS has been able to equip already more than 600,000 kids with a new pair of shoes.

The cool Espandrillos are manufactured in Argentina, China and Ethiopia with absolutely fair working condition for the employees. All factories are liable to the strict, international standards of Fair-Trade and are regularly inspected by TOMS Shoes. Buying a pair of TOMS consequently not only improves your look, but also contributes to global equality and fairness.
