TOMS are a go-to shoe for any occasion. They really are for everyone, thanks to their ‘One for One’ scheme, which ensures a pair of shoes donated to an impoverished child for every retail pair sold. Every TOMS pair is marked with the identity of the Argentinian village which first inspired founder Blake Mycoskie. Browse the Shuperb men's & women's collection for a pair of shoes different from the ordinary.
Admired for its charitable ‘One for One’ mission of donating one pair of shoes to a child in need for every retail pair purchased, TOMS have - since 2006 – donated a staggering 86 million pairs to such impoverished children. Although their amiable motive certainly helped, it can’t be denied that TOMS have sold so well partly due to their sheer versatility in the everyman’s wardrobe.
Founded by Blake Mycoskie – an entrepreneur that found the seed to his grand idea when in Argentina, where he found that his child-friends could not afford basic needs, like a good-quality pair of shoes to protect them from the unforgiving ground.
TOMS boast a distinguished aesthetic which reflects its founding ideology, which is seen in the highly minimalist designs of their shoes like the TOMS ALPARGATA canvas slip-on shoes, which effortlessly blend-in when worn by the villagers it seeks to help. With a TOMS pair there is a strong sense of pride in community – regardless of economic status. Yet, comfort and quality are not compromised, as seen with the suede footbed, and the rubber sole which allow for a soft cushioning of the foot, with optimal traction.
The ALPARGATA, and other similar styles like the TOMS CARLO, are available for both men and women in a variety of colours, on Shuperb.
