Charlize Theron Designs for TOMS
Dec 21, 2009 @ 10:20 amCharlize Theron has teamed up with Toms shoes on a charitable limited-edition shoe for the holidays. Inspired by the African baobab tree, the proceeds from the orange or dark blue vegan canvas slip-on will benefit the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project. “I’m thrilled to have Toms Shoes as a partner,” Theron said. “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 $54 charitable shoes are available now at tomsshoes.com.

Cute shoes, great charity and cause. However, it’s a baobob tree; The African tree that is most unique for its roots mirroring the branches. So, that being said, why are the trees not placed on the insides of the toes so that when you stand with your feet together it looks like a real baobob tree, roots and all? I find this to be a poor design. I love the red and silver together, but it’s disappointing that the design was not achieved better.
