TOMS Shoes

that's so cool! i got to meet him last year at venice beach. super nice guy

yea!! thats exactly what she said "really nice guy". its so weird they even txt. i was gonna work for toms in the summer but i didnt =[

Of course they take home a huge profit which company doesn't try to get as much money as possible?! But it doesn't have to mean that they don't spend a pair for every sale.
And you say you have issues with TOMS but have bought already a few pairs and still want more? Your issues can't be so big then ^^

I don't have anyone being successful and making a profit. That's why I buy the shoes. But it does bother me that in their commercials they make themselves out to be a non-profit charitable organization, which they are FAR from. And most people don't know enough or take the time to do the research, so they drop $45-50 on a pair of $5 shoes thinking they're donating to a charity, when really someone is making an enormous profit. Those shoes cost less than $5 to make in China - so even if they send one to the customer and one to a child, that's an over-the-top profit.

Like I said, I have no problems with them making a profit as long as they're really donating the shoes like they say they are - I just think they should be more upfront and honest about the kind of business they are so people know what they're buying. I also think it's laughable that a company that prides itself on helping people outsources all of its jobs to factories in China.
