1000/474: 09 June 2011: TOMS shoes

I think this is a briliant idea. Buy a pair of shoes from TOMS and they give a pair to a child in a developing country.

These are a little out of the ordinary - my family have said - almost in chorus 'Why did you have to get a weird colour scheme?'. In truth I don't know, but I like them anyhow.

If you're not convinced by this colour they have lots of more sensible choices in a variety of styles - so go on - buy a pair and help someone in need at the same time - you know you want to.
