At TOMS HQ we are so thankful for all of our TOMS fans, especially those that support us in different locations around the world.  Including… underwater?! You all are truly an inspiration… keep those pics coming!

On a recent Caribbean cruise I packed my favorite pair of TOMS and my TOMS flag hoping to spread the [...]

Partners in Health has been working in Haiti for more than 20 years and are deeply committed to the betterment of Haiti. They made a “mega-commitment” in 2008 at the annual Clinton Global Initiative conference to expand efforts in Haiti after the country was devastated by an aggressive hurricane season in 2008. Blake was blown [...]

In a recent letter Blake wrote to each of us at HQ, he began:
My TOMS Family,
Please read the first three words of this letter again. Yes, i truly feel as if TOMS is a family, and from day one, i have done everything possible to treat each person with the same love and respect that [...]

As Blake put it, TOMS HQ is a pretty special place and we now have a way for visitors to remember their trip here: photos from our sweet vintage photo booth. It was quite an adventure to find the piece and our tech and creative department re-built it to get it in functioning order. It’s [...]

Just an update, the mystery box is still there… although I know what’s inside now. Soon the rest of HQ (and you!) will know too…

Today, we wrap up an amazing week and a half of reminiscing and reflecting, with a step forward. We asked you here on the blog, on Facebook, and on Twitter to tell us your dreams for this year and the responses were passionate, heartfelt, and genuine (OK, some were super silly too). Here are our [...]

We’ve had so many awesome responses to our last post when we asked how you plan to change the world in 2010. SO many that we want more… and more… and more! You guys are so inspiring! So before we put together our favorites, invite your friends to the blog for them to post their [...]

Unfortunately, we don’t all work remotely from Shoe Drop locations (potential 2011 idea, Blake?), but our HQ scenario isn’t too bad. Posted up in a funky complex in sunny Santa Monica, CA, you’ll find a long alley way that leads to a big warehouse door. A TOMS flag atop the entry-way is the first indication [...]

One of the most awesome things TOMS has done from the beginning is encourage customers to customize their TOMS with paints, markers, and fabrics. TOMS fans took off with the idea and Style Your Sole has remained one of our favorite pieces at events. Whether a professional artist takes on the task of creating custom [...]

In October, Blake agreed to let 9 of us (that’s a lot of employees for a small company!) leave Santa Monica for more than a week to hand place shoes and pass out skateboards on the TOMS + Element Shoe + Board Drop in Durban, South Africa.
After your first year at TOMS, you’re given the [...]
