"Dorothy is proof shoes can change your life" by Megan V.

A good pair of Louboutins or Prada pumps might just change your life. Dorothy’s story can teach us a lot about life; on her journey to truly discover the power of her shoes, she empowers others to see themselves as having courage, brains and heart. Midwestern girl or Wonder Woman? Dorothy was wise beyond her years.

Yes, shoes can change your life, but can they also change the lives of others? Absolutely. Thanks to hipsters and trendsetters across the nation, TOMS has risen to fame in the fashion world. You know the mantra, “With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a new pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One”. What a great concept….guilt free shoes! What an even better concept…helping those in need. Shoes with heart.


Inspired to clean out your closet to make room for some TOMS? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Shoe Revolt is a company that accepts donations of gently used shoes (clean out those closets!) and resells them to generate proceeds for victims of human trafficking. I am always amazed when I read about companies like this, but I am grateful that this woman had the brains to think of this, the heart to want to do it and the courage to see it through. Maybe she’s related to Dorothy?
