Look at how gorgeous these TOMS wrap boots look:

Recently we did a feature called~TOMS Shoes for Tomorrow, Giving Gifts to the Poor as You Shop …and their amazing cause to bring shoes to poor children in Africa.

Now we are back on this topic because they’ve been nominated for the Cooper Hewitt People’s Design Award. Here is a message from TOMS: “Last year, TOMS Shoes was fortunate enough to be recognized with the Cooper Hewitt People’s Design Award.
