Based in Santa Monica, California, Toms Shoes is a shoe shop with a mission: for each of the Alpargata-style Argentinean shoes that Toms sells, the company donates a pair to a child in need on your behalf during what they call a “shoe drop”. We visited Toms’ headquarters and spoke to several employees in an aim to find out what drives this cause based company.
