This year, Southern California retailer Active has committed to helping 10,000 children in need through their campaign 10K in 2010.  

To give you a little history, Active has supported TOMS since 2007 when we were still in our infancy stage. Working out of Blake’s apartment, we heard of their passion of using retail stores as [...]

As the 5th week of our internship rolls around (FIFTH WEEK?! No way…), the office is buzzing and the work is flowing steadily.  We were promised on Day 1 that we would be doing work that mattered at TOMS, not just typical intern grunt work i.e. coffee runs and long hours at the copy machine.  [...]

The “release your inner artist” “get your creative on” event that we all know and love, Style Your Sole, just made the jump across the pond. This past weekend, Chief Shoe Giver Blake Mycoskie put his college speaking tour and in-office duties on hold to pick up a sharpie and a [...]

I was in Lakeland last week, speaking at Florida Southern College and also got to stop by a really inspiring Style Your Sole event.

On April 8, 2010 we’re planning something big. Yes, we’re a shoe company… but for one day, we’ll be asking people around the world to ditch their shoes. Take ‘em off. Leave ‘em at home… and go one day without shoes.
Sure, it’s a little strange. You’re bound to get some funny looks- people asking you [...]

I have always believed that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade.  On my recent trip to Argentina, there was a lovely chandelier hanging in our rental.  In an unfortunate accident the chandelier was broken and became quite an eyesore.  Additionally, the landlord let us know that we would have to pay for [...]
