Background
TOMS shoes are sold online at the company's website, as well as at major retailers like Macy's and Urban Outfitters. The shoes come in a wide variety of colors and include sizes for men, women, and children.Blake Mycoskie came up with the idea for TOMS shoes after visiting Argentina. There he saw the number of children living in poverty without shoes to wear on their feet. After selling 10,000 shoes, TOMS had their first "Shoe drop" in 2006, personally delivering shoes to people in Argentina. They had another shoe drop in 2007, bringing 50,000 shoes to children of Africa. TOMS will have another shoe drop in Ethiopia in 2008.
