Not only is The Wrap Boot totally fabulous and super comfortable (what more could a you want in a Fall boot?), but for every pair purchased, TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie and team travel to locations in Argentina and South Africa to personally fit and donate a pair of shoes to a child in need.

Blake launched The Wrap Boot to help eradicate Podoconiosis, a 100% preventable disease found predominantly in rural Ethiopia, which causes swelling and ulcers in the lower legs and feet by exposing skin to soil. Below is a short film titled “No Polo Widow,” which he shot in his native Argentina to promote the new shoe: Check it out below:

Here’s more on the inspiration for the design from thegreenloopblog.com:

Inspired by his polo playing days in Argentina, Blake modeled The Wrap Boot after the polo wraps wound around the bottom of a horse’s cannon bone during a match, which serve as both decoration and tendon support. The Wrap Boot is made with a classic alpargata base and a stretched elastic upper with velcro closures, and comes in five colors.
