You really know How to Walk the Walk

TOMS Women's 1007B08

If you have a cause to support, like going green, fighting against breast cancer, or taking a stand against poverty and disease, chances are you’ll find a way to (quite literally) walk your walk with a pair of fresh new sneaks or sporty casuals from Shoes.com.

My favorite cause brand is Toms. Toms is a casual shoe brand modeled after a traditional Argentine shoe style. For every pair purchased, Toms donates a pair to a child in need. Since 2006, the company has given more than 50,000 pairs to children in South Africa and over 10,000 pairs to children in Argentina.

The shoes, all slip-ons, feature a fabric upper with stretch elastic and Velcro ® for ease-of-fit. The soft and flexible soles mold to the shape your foot in less than four hours of the first wear. And you can feel good knowing you’ve contributed to the next shoe drop in a nation of poverty.

Shoes.com has a whole page dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. Proceeds from the sale of The Reebok Zone II Pink Ribbon sneaker and the Cape Clogs Pink Ribbon Clog donate proceeds to this cause. Several other brands participate, too. Just visit Shoes.com and type in the keyword: Breast Cancer.

The Converse 1 Hund(RED) collection benefits (PRODUCT) RED for The Global Fund, supporting the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Check out the L’il Red Riding Hood All Star Lo sneaker and the layered 1Hund(RED) All Star Hi-top sneaker to have a little fun with fashion while supporting the health of impoverished nations.

Finally, for those who think green is the new black, there are plenty of cool brands to The Dr. Scholl’s Original Renew Exercise sandal, featuring vegetable-tanned leather or natural hemp fiber, a recycled metal buckle, Brazlian wood footbed and a corn-based flat traction outsole and the Simple Carat sneaker (using PET laces, recycled rubber inner tubes and car tires, organic cotton and post consumer paper pulp foot forms) are two great choices. For other eco-friendly shoe styles, visit Shoes.com and use the keyword: Eco-friendly.

Whatever your cause, you’ll be looking and feeling great in a new pair of shoes to help you rock your walk.
