Style Your Sole

If you were not there you should have been. Last Thursday the TOMS Vagabonds hosted a “Style Your Sole” event at Cine in downtown Athens. There was free food and a documentary showing. But the best part was getting to decorate and design your own pair of TOMS shoes. All you had to do was pick out and purchase your favorite pair of TOMS from a table full of merchandise then get down and dirty with your creative side. The Vagabonds provided spray paint, fabrics, buttons, glue and more all to help your inner artist come out. It was great to see different ideas and creativity emerge through pairs of shoes.

I took my roommate with me. She was a virgin to the cause, and it was a great way to introduce her to the TOMS experience. I bought a T-shirt that read “Drop TOMS not Bombs” and she bought the white TOMS shoes so she could “style her sole.” After she used up the last of the black spray paint, one of the Vagabonds took her picture with what we believe could be the next best seller of TOMS shoes. We left with spray paint stained fingers. It is like taking a piece of your own creativity with you wherever you go, baring your soul on your sole. It was a fun night.
