A Simple Idea That Changed the World
Imagine being on vacation and witnessing children without shoes, vulnerable to disease and unable to attend school. This was Blake Mycoskie's reality in Argentina in 2006-a moment that sparked what would become a global movement. The humble alpargata, a canvas shoe common throughout Argentina, became the inspiration for TOMS Shoes and its revolutionary "One for One" business model: for every pair sold, another would be donated to a child in need. Starting with just three interns and 250 pairs of shoes in his apartment, Blake watched as his idea rapidly caught fire. When Nordstrom expressed interest, the fledgling company scrambled to appear established. What drove this explosive growth wasn't sophisticated marketing but something far more powerful-a story that resonated deeply with customers. The first "Shoe Drop" in Argentina proved transformative. Placing shoes directly onto children's feet alongside family and supporters created an emotional connection that transcended traditional business objectives. This journey revealed a profound truth: success and social impact aren't separate paths-they can be one and the same. TOMS challenged the conventional wisdom that separated profit from purpose, demonstrating that doing good could actually drive business growth. What began as a simple idea has now provided over 100 million pairs of shoes to children worldwide, inspiring countless entrepreneurs to build purpose into their business DNA.
