Vegan TOMS

TOMS have captured the hearts of do-gooders around the world with their One-For-One mission: For every pair of TOMS purchased, the company gives a pair to a child in need. Now, they are focusing on making their shoes more eco-friendly. They've introduced a new line of vegan shoes that are made of 67% hemp and 33% recycled plastic bottles. The leather insole is being replaced with a microfiber insole, and to make sure everyone knows that your TOMS are different, the TOMS tag is printed in green instead of black, of course! Right now they are only available at select Whole Foods. By springtime, they will be launched in several other markets.
