Stylish Boots With A Purpose

Here’s something new – a Wrap Boot. It’s a vegan shoe from TOMS, that has a wrap-around strap. I think you’d call it a strap. It has a sort of ace-bandage-feel, but much cooler look to it.
This vegan boot is made with an EVA outsole, a 100% cotton canvas upper, a velcro closure, and I love the Olive color. They are suggested as a “transition shoe” for Winter-Spring. These boots would give your new Spring mini a fun kick and they’d be perfect for ladies like me, runners who have curvier calves.
TOMS donates a pair of shoes to a needy child, for every pair they sell. So, you aren’t just getting cute boots for you, you are helping a child at the same time. TOMS has given away more than 130,000 shoes so far to children in places like South America, Africa, as well as the United States. They call them Shoe Drops and if you would like to see one in action, you can see a video here.
Retails for $98 at TOMS Shoes

Have you seen the video that TOMS made to promote the wrap shoe? It’s a hoot to watch!

Forgot to mention good post! Can’t wait to reading the next one!
Good article and the shoes look and sound divine.
One thing: South America and Africa are continents, not countries.
Oops, I better fix that. Duh. Thanks!
I like stylish boots, the only condition is that it must be long lasting.
