We read this super cute love story on the TOMS Shoes website the other day and we thought, in honor of the month of Love, that we should share it with our friendly shoe lovers: “When we were in Virginia on vacation this past summer (from our home in CA) our delightful, 22 year old bearded, tattooed web designer son and our family were eating burgers at little retro diner in Williamsburg. We were approached by a (brave!) girl “My friend wanted me to give you her number” is what she told our son.   Yes, this cute and stylish 20 year old thought our son was cute… but what clinched it was that he was wearing TOMS!  Because he was fashionable AND socially conscious she could NOT let this opportunity pass by! He called her.  They dated cross-country (interrupted briefly by his 6 week trip to help orphans in Kenya).  They are now planning their Virginia wedding and they want everyone in the wedding party (bride, groom, attendants, flower girls – parents???) to wear TOMS!”
