Our Story
We’ve always been in business to improve lives.
In 2006, TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie pioneered the One for One® model—giving away one pair of shoes for every pair sold, supporting larger health, education, and community development programs through strategic partnerships.
Today we give ⅓ of profits for grassroots good. Since the beginning of TOMS, our community has made a positive impact on over 100,000,000 lives—and we’re far from finished. Take a look at some of the highlights over the years.

Ground-up change starts with us
Today, TOMS commits 1/3 of profits for grassroots good, supporting people building equity at the local level, and driving progress from the ground up.
That’s why our shoes are really something special—especially our classic Alp, which we like to think of as the shoe that started it all.
Every purchase helps create a more equitable tomorrow, so let’s keep moving forward together.
