Win One Give One – the TOMS Vegan Shoe Giveaway
Listen closely, because this might get confusing. When you buy a pair, you give a pair, and today at EcoSalon you just might win a pair. Got that?
I’ll start again. We’re giving away a TOMS gift card worth $50 toward the purchase of a pair of TOMS shoes.* Leave a comment to be entered.
TOMS Shoes are comfy, co-ed and some of them are vegan. More importantly, the company’s focus is on giving – One for One, to be exact.
For every pair of shoes you purchase, TOMS will give a pair to a child in need. Since 2006, when Blake Mycoskie was inspired to start the company, TOMS has given away over 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world.
It isn’t easy to move this cynical eco-chick, but the TOMS commitment to kids is quite meaningful and masterful. Mycoskie has inspired others to join his mission, which keeps the message growing“¦far beyond the shoe itself.
I can’t help but feel inspired. Don’t you want to be a part of it too?
Leave a comment to enter the giveaway. One entry per person, the contest ends next Wednesday May 20 at midnight. Good luck!
* When using your gift card, please be mindful that not all TOMS shoes are eco-friendly. Look for the vegan styles here and here, including the Wrap Boot (image above).

65% post-consumer plastic bottles? Recycled soles? How very cool!
May 14th, 2009 at 7:25 am
I’ve had my eyes on TOM shoes for awhile. This is totally rad.
May 14th, 2009 at 7:27 am
I have been DYING for a pair of Tom Shoes – such a good cause!
May 14th, 2009 at 7:31 am
Have you seen the Silver Glitter TOMS! How fantastic are these – always love a sparkle!
May 14th, 2009 at 7:37 am
What a fantastic giveaway – Call me boring but I adore the canvas ones. Tried and true – similar to the boat shoes I love so dearly.
May 14th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Wowzer – I wonder how comfortable they are? I would imagine they are very durable and clean-up easy – plus, in so many colors, perfect with tons and tons of outfits!!

Have to agree with other posters- I’m infatuated with this idea and just haven’t saved up enough $$ to buy myself a pair yet. Thanks for giving us the opportunity win one!
May 14th, 2009 at 9:01 am
This is such an awesome giveaway! Those boots are fabulous too!
May 14th, 2009 at 9:36 am
I have been wanting a pair of TOMs! I think it’s a great cause and will hopefully inspire others to follow his lead.
May 14th, 2009 at 10:55 am
I wonder how comfortable the boots are – because they look tres chic in a comfortable way! I surely hope I win!!

Great giveaway! I’ve been shopping this summer for vegan shoes at Vegan Chic http://www.veganchic.com. I’m thrilled to see so many great options in vegan footwear out there. It is about time!
May 14th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Oh man, I’ve been a big fan of TOMs for awhile now. Would absolutely love a free pair!
May 14th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
This is one of the best companies ever!
May 14th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Seriously a fab fab giveaway – just think – if everyone bought a pair how many children we could help!
Super thanks to you and Tom for the giveaway
May 14th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Love Tom’s shoes and their commitment to a great cause too. I’ve got my eye on the Vegan Red Clay Woven shoes, they look so comfortable.

I’ve been seeing commercials about Toms Shoes. What a wonderful company to give away a pair of shoes for every pair purchased.
May 14th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
These are so cute! I love that they’re vegan and stylish. Not an easy combo.
May 14th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
I wrote about Toms a few months ago because I love the idea of the shoe drops and of giving back with every sale. Plus, the shoes themselves are really cute! If every company adopted this philosophy, the world would be in much better shape. Would love a free pair to spread the word on my feet! Thanks for doing this.
May 14th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
TOMS has partnered with MonaVie too. Specially designed shoes and every pair that is sold send a pair to Brazil. It’s a cool company. Glad to see eco-friendly choices as well!
May 14th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Toms shoes can make every eco-chic gal with a heart of gold, feel very Green, Grown and Sexy. My personal faves were the VOTE and Be The Change You Wish To See styles.

I am surprised that a generous concept like Tom’s shoes is so successful! It goes to show that a company can create a great product that sells and help those who are in need.
May 14th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
This are eco-chic shoes! and my favorites are the wrap boots!

These are so amazing- I wish shoes like this would become more readily available in the public, it’s so hard to shop for shoes online.
May 14th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
TOMS has given away over 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world. That is totally AWESOME! What a great way to give back ,Tom.
May 14th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
The wrap shoes are really interesting. I have been looking at their webpage after seeing the commercial (I think it’s for cell phones, but the shoe message is much more memorable) Great company!
May 14th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
What a great testimonial for socially responsible business practices. It only takes one person to start a movement, and Blake Mycoskie is certainly proof of that.
~ You can do well by doing good ~
Kudos not only to Blake and TOMS shoes, but also to all those who support this movement by purchasing shoes from this company and spreading the word about its commitment.
May 14th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
I love TOMS, they have really cute shoes and its such a great cause.

I think this is such a great idea, giving away a pair of shoes for each one purchased. I only wish more companies were willing to be so generous with their products. I have always been a big supporter of TOMS shoes and am so happy EcoSalon is too!
May 15th, 2009 at 5:37 am
Smart Girlz wear Tom’s!
May 15th, 2009 at 6:16 am
I think that giving shoes to children is just awesome. There are many needy children out there. I have never owned a TOM shoe and I would like to try it. Thanks.

I have wanted to buy a pair of Tom’s shoes for awhile now…especially since they’ve started this amazing new program. However, I recently lost my job — so I have had to really cut back on my spending. I would just LOVE to win this contest!
Thanks so much!
May 19th, 2009 at 7:49 am
I’ve yet to buy a pair of Tom’s but I love their business model of buy one/give one away. Their shoes look so comfy, and those wrap boots are awesome!

These shoes are the most compfy shoes ever. I had a pair in the picnic print, but I was watching a friend’s dog and they ate them. I am waiting for a new design I will like so I can get another pair.

I love TOMS. Been wearing them since they started out. Love the cause even more.

Sheesh, I would love so much to win the TOMS giftcard. I’ve been wanting a pair of these for a while, just for the sole fact that I’d feel great knowing I’d be putting a pair of shoes on a child who needs shoes. Hopefully this contest is still up and I could potentially win.
