We just did a sale on TOMS Shoes, sold about 40 pairs which is pretty good!

I believe what they are doing is quite incredible.

Even though I don't particularly like their shoes, I have to applaud their efforts.

It is indeed, and I was surprised that so many people around me were interested in contributing and buying a pair; it's a good cause but the shoes are a bit pricy.

I have to agree. The shoes are not the best looking thing. But just knowing that a pair you bought gave somebody else in need of a pair is worth it.

Im not sure I could handle going a day without shoes, but I will be sure to wear my TOMS that day. I love my TOMS, mostly because I have cut the amount of socks I wear per week in half, meaning less laundry

Sorry for the double post. Don't know how that happened.

Or you can buy a pair of shoes you do like then donate a second pair to a charity that works oversees. I applaud the Tom's shoes concept I am just pointing out the obvious alternative for those whom do not care for the look of Toms shoes. In that you do not need to feel guilty about not buying them if you are willing to take the extra step I mentioned.

One thing I am curious about is how high quality are the shoes (I'm talking durability not fancy materials). Are the soles glued like most cheaply made yet for some reason expensive Nike shoes or can they be brought to a cobbler and resoled when worn out? As I would think that would make more sense in these poor countries.
