About TOMS

In 2006 one shoe sparked a movement

to empower everyone, everywhere to reach their full potential.

Pioneering the union of profit and purpose, founder Blake Mycoskie grew TOMS from humble beginnings in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, into a global force for good. For nearly 20 years, we’ve walked this journey together with you.

Some Organisations We're Proud to Give To

 


Shoes That Give Back with Every Purchase

We give a portion of our profits to help support children’s education, health and well-being through cash grants, product donations, and deep partnerships with leading organisations.


Our Iconic Alpargata

From its origin in Spain to its adoption in Argentina, the espadrille or Alpargata has always been a shoe of the people - synonymous with simplicity, comfort, and community.

Though we got our start with the Alpargata, today we offer styles for everyone - with an easy going spirit woven into every pair.
