Charlize Theron Designs TOMS Shoes for Charity

TOMS Shoes is a company that’s known for its charitable work. For every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.

Building on that premise, Charlize Theron has now teamed up with the company and created her own pair of shoes. She designed her own signature slip-on sneakers made for men and women embellished with an image of an African baobab tree, will benefit the star’s non-profit, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, dedicated to improving the health, education, and social development of high schoolers in South Africa.

10,000 pairs will also be given to impoverished children living in remote communities in her home country. “I’m thrilled to have TOMS Shoes as a partner. We are so grateful for their generous donation of shoes to the students we work with,” Theron says, “It’s exciting that we’re able to come together in such a cool and creative way to bring attention to the needs of many South African youth.”

The eco-friendly canvas shoes ring in at $54 and are available exclusively at TOMSshoes.com
