As you probably already know, for every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS Shoes always donates a pair of new shoes to a child in need via their One for One charity.

Scheduled to launch tomorrow, founder and professional do-gooder, Blake Mycoskie has an additional, socially responsible, philanthropic cause underway.

You’ll be able to get a sense of what it’s like to walk in his shoes.  For every purchase of either of these two, limited edition Water Styles, ($58/pair), 100 percent of the proceeds will go to TOMS Water Charity, which will fund the hand-digging of a clean-water well in the village of Sekura in North West Ethiopia.  Currently among the largest villages in Ethiopa without ready access to clean water — yet upon completion of this project, 540 residents of Sekura will be able to drink clean, safe water either near or in their homes.
