You buy a bright patterned pair of @TOMS shoes. In turn, they give a plain pair to a child somewhere. So there's that.

And the ridiculously overpriced $50 pair of
@TOMS shoes makes the company a handsome profit. They then give like a $1 shoe to a child.1 reply 10 retweets 5 likes -

What's more is that
@TOMS limits donated shoes to CHILDREN. You know, those young ones that outgrow things like shoes all the time.1 reply 10 retweets 9 likes -

You're an adult with a size 6 shoe. This doesn't change.
@TOMS shoes doesn't donate to adults like you. Only to children who outgrow them.2 replies 8 retweets 9 likes -

And, if you're a little kid wanting a pair of shoes, you have no choice but to let
@TOMS exploit your image for marketing. So shitty.1 reply 9 retweets 7 likes -

We get consistent images of white
@TOMS saviors surrounded by poor children. That creates so much social capital—in the worst way possible.1 reply 12 retweets 12 likes -

What happens? Poor children get a cheap pair of shoes they'll outgrow in a few months.
@TOMS gets a permanent morale booster. So lopsided.1 reply 7 retweets 7 likes -

And
@TOMS is half-owned by@BainCapital. As if private equity isn't the reason poor black and brown children don't have shoes to begin with.1 reply 8 retweets 11 likes -

Also, unless your life circumstances make it so that you go #withoutshoes, doing it for a day is pretty repulsive.https://twitter.com/TOMS/status/615631325563879424 …
