Tom’s Shoes

What girl doesn’t love adding to her shoe collection?

Well… here’s an amazing way to not only benefit yourself but needy children all over the world.

Watch this video:

This Christmas, our family purchased three pairs of shoes from Toms Shoes. What that means is, our investment in the three shoes for our family has also provided for THREE pairs to needy children. That’s SIX pairs of shoes, for you who are not so quick with the math. One-for-One.

To be completely honest, though Chance and I are rockin’ out our shoes, this style of shoe is TOTALLY not Brian… however, he’s wearing it anyway because he loves the cause behind it. I believe he’ll grow to love the way they look because they are SO comfortable.

The best part of all this is the conversations Chance and I have had about REAL life. I’ve shown Chance MANY of the Tom’s Shoes videos and his questions break my heart. It’s amazing HOW much a 4-year-old understands and how much compassion their hearts have. When the shoes showed up at our doorstep, Chance’s first reaction wasn’t, “YAY! I got new shoes!!!”… it was, “MOM! THREE KIDS GOT NEW SHOES THAT DIDN’T HAVE SHOES BEFORE!!!”  Then, he grabbed his piggy bank and said, “I want to buy another pair for them!”

Our family has dedicated to always having a pair of Tom’s in our rotation of wear. We figure by the time ours wear out, another child’s has LONG been worn out. We’d love for you to join us in Tom’s amazing movement.  If you choose to purchase a pair before January 31st, 2010… you can use THIS $5 discount code:

Join the cause.

    I got my pair this week. They are not the most beautiful shoes, but the cause behind it and how comfortable they are make them awesome. I can’t take them off.

    Loved what Chance said when the shoes arrived.
