Toms

So there is this brand of shoes called Toms. They are basically these plain, canvas, hipster-looking shoes that go for about $50 dollars. But here's the catch: for every pair of shoes they sell, they give a pair to a child in need.

That's a nice vision; it really is. But $50 dollars for a pair of shoes that probably cost a dollar to produce? I feel like you could donate a lot more shoes than just one for one with all of the extra profit.

I would propose two options: 1.) Lower the price or 2.) Raise the ratio of shoes given per shoes bought.

Just a thought. I'm trying not to be too cynical because at least they are doing something.
