TOMS Shoes
Argentinian inspired TOMS Shoes is a novel way of getting shoes to those that need them most. They may not be the most exciting thing ever, but there's not much better value for money around. TOMS Shoes actually provide you with a pair of Argintinian inspired shoes called alpargatas. At the same time, provide another pair for underpriveledged kids in developing countries. That's two pairs for the price of one, with one pair making it's way to someone who really really needs them.

Based in California, TOMS Shoes actually delivered around 50,000 shoes in a drop in Africa last year!
