What: Tiny TOMS
Where: TOMS – $34 in a variety of styles & $5 off w/promo code New2Toms; St. Bernard Sports – $34; Shoes.com – $25.99 in adorable red plaid w/free shipping & 15% off w/promo code “15off”
Why We Love ‘Em: Oh, these Tiny Toms are just crazy cute – cannot even describe to you how cute these shoes are in person, you just kind of want to eat them up, they are so cute.
Okay, so there is more to this shoe than just being cute. The shoes are made of an incredibly strong and durable canvas that’s a blend of organic canvas and a percentage of post-consumer recycled plastics. So these will sure to be a long lasting hand-me-down. And now for the best part, for each pair of TOMS shoes purchased, a pair of shoes is given to a child in need making this a tiny shoe with a big mission:
TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we’re all about.
So far TOMS has given away over 140,000 shoes to children in need providing basic protection from injury, disease and the risk of amputation and in many cases they will be the first pair of shoes the child has ever owned.
