This past weekend, TOMS teamed up with Laguna Beach retailer Thalia Surf Shop for a killer event. Local musicians The Pawnshop Kings set up stage in the connecting Surf Gallery, and set the mood with their laid back California style.

We were pretty excited to see Pam Mycoskie’s (Blake’s mom) limited edition TOMS fly off the shelves and she is sure to be a busy lady in the coming weeks. The idea of custom painted shoes, however, is a TOMS classic that has been with the company since 2006. In the summer after Blake returned [...]

TOMS hosted our first Shoe Drop in New Orleans yesterday. As with our US Shoe Drops we held this past fall, we brought markers for the kids to draw on their shoes and get their creativity flowing. We were set up right next to the playground, which was really cool to see all the kids [...]

Life in the Northeast is pretty awesome. Everyone is super excited about TOMS and the One for One movement. Our events have been going so well we are having difficulty keeping up with the demand! It’s a little disappointing that we can’t outfit everyone at the events with TOMS but it does give us a [...]

January 14th, 2009 No Comments
Friends of TOMS just received some INCREDIBLE artwork… from the very appreciative students of an Orlando, FL elementary school we brought shoes to this past fall. They also sent along notes telling us how much fun they had decorating their shoes, and reminded us what each of them drew on their white canvas TOMS.
We LOVE [...]
