Charlize Does TOMS

Filed Under: Inspiration Charlize Theron Collection's Bureau Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

One thing we really love about Charlize Theron is all the work she does to benefit her native land South Africa.

As you might recall, not long ago the blond beauty designed tee shirts to benefit her organization, The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, which works to improve the health, social development, and education of South African youth.

Now, Charlize has teamed with do-gooder shoe company, TOMS, to create a pair of slip-on men and women's sneakers with an African baobab tree on the toe. As we're sure you know by now, for every pair of TOMS purchased, a pair is given to someone in need globally. In addition to the shoes given for each purchase, 10,000 pairs will be given to impoverished children in South Africa.

Charlize said, "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. 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 adorable and karma-boosting kicks are available exclusively at TOMSshoes.com for an affordable $54, in black and coral.

They'd make a great holiday gift!
