About This Item
The TOMS shoe features a canvas upper adorned with the signature TOMS toe-stitch and an elastic V for effortless on-and-off wear. Designed for comfort, it includes a TOMS classic suede insole, complemented by a latex arch insert for enhanced support. The durable one-piece mixed-rubber outsole offers resilience, flexibility, and longevity. This shoe showcases the classic alpargata style, combining a canvas upper with elastic gore for a comfortable fit, and a cushioned suede footbed.

With each pair of shoes purchased, TOMS commits to donating a pair to a child in need, embodying the principle of "One for One."

Founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie, TOMS Shoes is recognized for its unique slip-on design, featuring clean lines and lightweight materials in an array of vibrant colors and prints. The brand's inception was inspired during Blake’s visit to Argentina, where he encountered the traditional rope-soled Argentine footwear known as the "alpargata." Moved by the pervasive poverty and health challenges in the region, Blake aimed to reinvent the alpargata and bring it to the U.S. market, all while pursuing a single mission: to improve the lives of those lacking proper footwear.

To fulfill this mission, Blake established a pledge to donate a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair sold. The concept is straightforward: purchasing a pair of TOMS means contributing to someone else's welfare, as TOMS matches every sale with a donation.

In its inaugural year, TOMS experienced remarkable success, selling 10,000 pairs of shoes. This momentum inspired Blake to return to Argentina for the first annual Shoe Drop, during which he distributed shoes to the children who had initially inspired him. Over the years, TOMS Shoes has expanded its range, now available in a variety of colors and fabric combinations across different styles for men and women. The brand has recently introduced Tiny TOMS, a line dedicated to children.

By focusing on innovative design and a robust social mission, TOMS Shoes continues to impact lives meaningfully while providing comfort and style to customers worldwide. With every step you take in TOMS, you're not just wearing a shoe; you're making a difference.
