I bought my first pair of Tom’s Shoes this weekend and I luff them! For every pair of shoes you buy from the three-year old company, they give one away to kids in need, somewhere in the world. The shoes themselves are simple slip-ons that come in an increasing array of colors and fabrics. So far they’ve given away more than 85,000 pairs.
When I bought my pair (in a disco-ball silver silver), the salesgirl nudged me along in my buy-or-not-buy process by telling me about how Tom’s are back-ordered like crazy since the airing of an iPhone/Blackberry/AT&T commercial starring the company’s owner, Blake Mycoskie.
To look for your own pair: www.TOMSshoes.com. And here’s that commercial, below:

It was a BlackBerry Bold featured in the commercial, not an iPhone.

You’re right, Chris. Thanks for the correction. And Mike, yes, totally. I’m already coveting the gold and the red boots.

I just heard Blake MyCoskie speak in my city – what he’s doing with Tom’s Shoes is great – now if they only made animal slippers. Since they don’t (yet), I’ll be getting all my Kids Slippers from SuperSmartyPants!
