Manolo Blanik. Jimmy Choo. Blake Mycoskie... wait, who? While doing volunteer work in Argentina, Tom met many children who didn't have shoes, a big health issue.  Inspired, he founded Tom's Shoes, and for every pair of shoes sold he gives a free pair to a child in need.  No catch, no complicated formula.  It's that simple.  At least 10,000 pairs of shoes have been distributed so far.  Based on the traditional Argentinian rope-soled footwear, the shoes aren't just philanthropic, they're great-looking, with lots of fashion-forward patterns and collaborations with hip designers. The "Tiny Toms" collection for kids are especially charming, in both masculine and feminine patterns.  A must give for the toddler who has everything, or for the holiday season.  Warms the heart... and sole.

Available at Tom's Shoes.
