Inspired by a traditional Argentine shoe and challenged by continent’s poverty and health issues, I created TOMS with a singular mission: To make life more comfortable, says Bryan Mycoskie, founder of the company.

TOMS accomplishes this through a unique shoe and Mycoskie’s commitment to match every pair purchased with a pair to a child in need…no complicated formulas, it’s simple…you buy a pair of TOMS and TOMS gives a pair to a child on your behalf.
