TOMS Shoes: A really unique social justice minded business. For every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. A brand of shoe created in May 2006 by Blake Mycoskie, a former contestant of reality TV’s “The Amazing Race”. The goal behind Mycoskie’s line of shoes is to end shoelessness in third-world countries through donating shoes. http://www.tomsshoes.com
