Selling Their Soles (To Save Their Souls)

image

Blake Mycoskie is standing outside of a movie theater on the corner of East 19th and Broadway in Manhattan. He looks scruffy in a manicured way, and he's wearing a pair of Toms shoes inspired by traditional Argentinian footwear—a combination of Tod's and tatami slippers. He's here at the Tribeca Film Festival promoting For Tomorrow: The First Step of the Revolution, the new short film he produced about his entrepeneurial upstart. It's part of the preciously titled "All Truisms" collection of films centered on world travel and benevolence. For Tomorrow, directed by Ken Kokin, chronicles Mycoskie's experience with Toms, and his first major "drop" in Argentina. You see, for every pair of shoes he sells at places like Nordstrom, Toms gives away a pair of shoes to a child in need.
