11 Essential Back-to-School Items

Tread carefully. When you buy back-to-school gear, do you know where your money goes? In the case of Toms, the generous shoe company, a purchase of a pair of their shoes means another pair will be donated to a child in a developing country. As if that wasn't enough to make us loyal customers, Toms also happens to make well-constructed, fashionable, and comfortable shoes for the whole family. Their Youth line includes these Cord Classics in Teal, with elastic at the top for easy on and off and suede insoles with rubber cushions for comfort. Good soles, indeed.
