New Eco-Friendly Shoe Line To Hit Stores

Well it definitely seems as if ‘going green’ is here to stay or for a bit longer anyways.

More and more celebrities and designers seem to be jumping on the organic bandwagon and TOMS, a shoe company, has now decided to partner with Whole Foods Market for an exclusive line of eco footwear.

TOMS founder, Blak Mycoskie, thought this new shoe line would be a great opportunity for his company, which currently donate a pair of shoes to children in need for every pair sold.

The company currently sends shoes to Argentina, South Africa, and Ethiopia but is planning to begin donations in the U.S.
