We have an unbelievably passionate community, many of who tell us they would love to go on a Giving Trip. So we thought, ’ What can we do to show them how thankful we are for them?’”

How Shoe Drops Became Giving Trips

TOMS is evolving every day, with each new fan, customer, friend and Giving Partner that joins us. And in paving the way for what lies ahead, we think it’s important we remember how we got here.
In the early days we called our firsthand shoe-giving experiences Shoe Drops. Our founder Blake, the small TOMS staff, and some their family and friends, traveled back to Argentina to distribute the very first One for One shoes to children in need. For the next few years, the TOMS family was an essential part of every pair of shoes given to children in need.
