The company’s business model is known as “one-for-one,” which promises to donate a pair of Toms shoes for a child in need for each purchase of a pair. Shoes have been sent to Haiti, Guatemala, Rwanda, South Africa, Argentina, Ethiopia and the United States since the company’s inception.

Toms will announce on May 21 the total number of shoes that will be donated unless the million pair benchmark is met first.
