Tom's Shoe Company founder Blake Mycoskie is a stand up guy with a wonderful idea, not to mention a total babe. Two and a half years ago, Mycoskie started a shoe company where every pair sold would be matched with a pair given to a child in need. What started as a "project" to give 250 kids in Argentina their first pair of new shoes has unexpectedly become one of the fastest growing shoe companies on the planet-and in the process, TOMS Shoes has given over 85,000 shoes to children in need around the world.
