They could make you feel better than wearing Shox

There's not much to them, but they could mean more than any other shoe you have ever purchased. TOMS shoes are simple. Very simple. They're inspired by traditional Argentinean shoes and they look it. And what's going to be better for summer than a shoe made for South America?

What the actual shoe lacks in, uh, pizzaz, it makes up for with humanitarianism. For every pair of TOMS Shoes you buy, they donate a pair of shoes to kids in need. They have been around for a couple years now, but now they have a bunch of new options in material and color. I, however, am still fond of the basic canvas in navy.

If shoes aren't your thing, and you were so inspired by the plastic bag post, check out the TOMS Shoes FEED project Bag. Keeping with the same thought of helping a kid in need, each FEED bag bought will provide a school year of meals for a child. For under a hundred dollars you can give a child some of the most basic necessities of life, food and clothing.

Do some good, and look good doing it.
