I have some TOMS shoes! So do my brother and my husband. Not only are they a great way to help kids, they are also really nice and comfortable shoes! Definitely a good buy. I'll plan on going barefoot on April 8, though I'll miss my TOMS that day. ;)

For additional information, in some countries they use tires as slippers by cutting it and using straw rope as strap for their toes.
It is unbelievable!
