Got yer TOMS?

I do. And I've never been so excited about buying a pair of shoes. That's because for every pair of TOMS shoes you buy, TOMS gives a pair to a needy orphan. If you want to read a fascinating article about this fascinating company, check out "If the Shoe Fits" in the May/June 2009 issue of Relevent Magazine. You'll learn that shoes can prevent a disease called podoconiosis, and preventing that disease is giving people's lives back to them.

This year TOMS plans to give away 300,000 pairs of shoes.
