Toms Shoes - Do Something Good Today!

In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers.

Why Shoes?

Many children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk:

•A leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases, and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause.

•Wearing shoes also prevents feet from getting cuts and sores. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected.

•Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential.

Why wear other eyewear retainers that hang on your neck, soak up sweat, get dirty, stink and fray? Cablz® are unique in the way they do not lay on your neck, distract you or irritate your skin. Whether you are fishing, boating, golfing, hunting, running, biking, hiking, rock climbing, snow skiing, snowmobiling or just enjoying the great outdoors Cablz are the ideal eyewear retention system that will keep your eyewear secure and stylish.

Cablz are the next generation in eyewear retention and are designed to handle hard work and active lifestyles.

How Cablz Were Invented
Necessity sparked invention for Ron Williams, an avid outdoorsman and inventor of Cablz® Eyewear. Williams, who has sold medical devices for more than two decades, was in a hurry when leaving a hospital parking deck one morning. When he turned his head to check for oncoming traffic, his fabric eyewear retainer snagged, knocking his sunglasses across his face. Frustrated, Ron snatched off his sunglasses, retainer and all, and tossed them to the floorboard. They landed in a duffle bag next to a surgical steel cable used to repair complex fractures, then Ron got a bright idea.

When he got home, Ron took the cable and some electrical tape and fashioned the first Cablz® prototype. He took some ribbing when he wore them to the office, but co-workers liked the idea. When he replaced the electrical tape with rubber, friends and colleagues began requesting Cablz® for themselves.
