Travel is tough enough, so Girlawhirl tries to make it as easy on herself as possible. That means packing appropriately for the trip and traveling light. And she's all for anything that will get her through the security lines and to her gate that much faster. One of her favorite tricks: slip-on shoes – easy to kick off and just as easy to get back on. She's been a long time fan of Keds for just that reason. Now she's found another slip-on to love, and the best part about her new shoe isn't what it does for her, but what it does for others…
Comfy and colorful, TOMS Shoes slip-ons are stylish, sweet, and remind her of clambakes and Nantucket beaches. The lightweight canvas shoes are based on a traditional Argentine shoe called the Alpargata. But most importantly, for every single pair of these shoes Girlawhirl buys, the man behind the brand – Blake Mycoskie – donates a pair to a child in need. Last October Mycoskie traveled to Argentina to give 10,000 pairs away!
Girlawhirl would have to make an awful lot of purchases to hit the 10,000 mark, but is there any better excuse to go shoe shopping? Girlawhirl thinks not. And with the Super Pals on stand-by, she hopes to help a lot of TOMS Shoes make it to some very happy young feet.
