Canvas High Heels by Toms Shoes

I've been looking for this style of platform/wedge heels especially after seeing Jimmy Choo's rafia wedge shoe. And then I got this in my email (how I wish I get them on my doorstep instead!) -



Tom's Shoes Tacones Calypso High Heels in different colors: Red, Black, Yellow, and in stripes.


I think it's sexy and comfy, plus according to my source - Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightly and Liv Tyler have fallen in love with the canvass flats. Who wouldn't? I wonder how much each Tacones cost because I really want one.

TOMS Shoes is known for comfortable shoes. But what sets it apart is the One for One Movement. The company will give one pair of shoes for every TOMS shoes purchased to a child in need in a developing country.

If you were at Rockwell Powerplant mall and saw people walking barefoot, then that was TOMS Shoes campaigning for children all around the world who walk without shoes.

The One Day Without Shoes Movement seeks to inspire us to imagine and put ourselves in the “shoeless feet” of many children in the world by going barefoot for a day. TOMS Shoes donates one pair of shoes for every pair sold.

By imagining a life barefoot, we can all contribute to the awareness of these conditions. Every year, a day is set for communities, campuses, organizations, and individuals to walk barefoot for One Day Without Shoes to fight for a cause for children in need.

TOMS shoes are now available in the Philippines in Nothing But Water and Swim stores.

Join TOMS Shoes One Day Without Shoes on April 9

Many children in our country still grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk. A leading cause of disease in developing countries like ours is soil-transmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases, and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause.

Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected.

Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential.

Since their beginning in May 2006, TOMS has given over 400,000* pairs of shoes to children in need, through the purchases of caring customers.

After four years in business, "One for One" model is more than just a novelty project. TOMS has expanded its line, won the 2007 People's Design Award at Cooper-Hewitt's National Design Awards, became a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, and landed shelf space in Whole Foods.
