The companys philosophy  For every pair of shoes that we sell we give a pair away to a child in need  has enabled TOMS Shoes to give away more than 1 million pairs of shoes to children in need as of April 2010.\n\nTOMS Shoes was awarded with the Prestigious Peoples Design award in 2007 from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum Smithsonian Institution.
