Something to think about…

Toms produce their shoes in India, Argentina, Ethiopia, and China. The exact locations of the factories is unknown,  probably for ‘legal reasons’. They  give plain black canvas shoes to over 50 countries, they give colorful shoes in Argentina to keep with tradition and they give winter boots in colder climates. They give shoes  in the same countries that they make them, so do they pay really fair wages but not give shoes to their kids because their families wouldn't be as poor as families who have somebody working in a factory making nothing? Or do they give them the same wages as other factories do and give their families shoes because they would still be considered poor? When it comes to this it all confuses me. Something else that I don’t understand is why they only give colorful shoes to kids in Argentina? They say its to keep with the tradition in Argentina  but why don’t they extend the same courtesy to other countries? They give in countries like South Africa,  Swaziland, Mexico, Romania, and Jamaica but surely those countries, along with the other countries they give in, have their own traditions and those should be kept with as well? So why don’t they give colorful and individual shoes to all the countries? Or why don’t they give all plain black or navy shoes in every country?
