"It’s an exciting time, then, when a new player hits the scene with a wearable alternative to the sustainarati appears and not only offers an attractive product but adds an additional level of social consciousness. Tom’s Shoes is one of these players, and at $40 I can totally justify buying a pair.

Tom’s Shoes touch all the typical notes. Natural fibers? Yes. Sweatshop free? Of course. Stitched construction? Yawn. Where Tom’s stands apart is in the recognition that products are created by people, who are rooted in community, and that a proper 21st century corporation has the responsibility to respect and enrich the communities upon which it depends. To this end, for every pair of shoes they sell Tom’s will donate a pair to a child in the city in which the shoes are produced."
