Purchase with a Purpose


This new spring collection at TOMs shoes is inspired by the artist, photographer, and creative activist Dan Eldon. Dan was one of the youngest Reuters photojournalists and his life was driven by a compassion for others and a need to help. At the age of 22 he was unfortunately killed by an angry mob in Somalia but his journals and his story continue to inspire.

Support his mission and the efforts of TOMs by purchasing a pair of shoes in the one-for-one movement or by buying apparel from the Dan Eldon shop. His mother and little sister established the shop showcasing his artwork created in his journals while traveling. All proceeds from sold merchandise go to the Dan Eldon Foundation/Creative Visions, serving to inspire everyday people to make change. More importantly, visit the Dan Eldon site to learn how you too can become a creative activist and the importance of purchasing with a purpose.
