Little Things Turn In to Big Differences. Choose Shoes this Holiday and help TOMS spread the One for One movement! Share this video, embed it on your site, email it to a long lost friend, or visit http://www.TOMSshoes.com/share for more ways to get involved.

With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.

As Laist.com writes: What happens when you travel to Argentina to learn how to play Polo? You start a sustainable and socially conscious shoe company. Of course.

This Holiday Season, TOMS launched an amazing campaign to sell and give 30,000 pairs of shoes in 30 days! We kicked off this campaign by making a short one-minute video describing our goal (www.TOMSshoes.com). In the past 10 days, over 25,000 people have seen this video and more than 9000 shoes have been sold and will soon be given. This is AMAZING… but we still need YOUR help. We only have 20 days left to reach our goal!
