#17 TOMS for me, TOMS for you

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

Catch a tiger by the toe

If he hollers let him go,

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Pinky, greeny, purple, red

Should I buy yellow instead?

If I have them, you’ll be dead,

Pinky, greeny, purple, red.

TOMS shoes are feel-good shoes. They have thick soles so your feet are protected, they have an arch, they are well-made. But most importantly, for every pair that you buy, a child in need in the Argentina or South Africa will get a pair too.

You find yourself walking to the library, the café, the store, the supermarket, and not only do your feet feel good because the shoes are so comfortable, but you feel good because you know that someone else will get a pair that wouldn’t have had shoes in the first place.
