Women's TOMS Alpargata Paper Source Slip-On

TOMS Shoes was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie. The shoe is a unique slip-on design comprised of clean lines and lightweight fabrics in vibrant colors and prints. TOMS was founded when Blake was inspired on a trip to Argentina by the traditional, rope-soled Argentine "alpargata." He was struck by the poverty and health issues of the country, and set out to reinvent the alpargata for the U.S. market, and in doing so to accomplish one goal: Making life more comfortable for those without shoes.

To realize this purpose, Blake made a commitment to match every pair of TOMS purchased with a donation of a pair to a child in need. It's simple: If you buy a pair of TOMS, the company will give a pair to someone in need on your behalf. During its first year in business, TOMS sold 10,000 pairs of shoes, and Blake returned to Argentina to lead his first annual Shoe Drop during which he donated to the children who had inspired him. TOMS Shoes are now available in multiple colors and fabric combinations for men, women and a recently introduced line for children, aptly titled Tiny TOMS.

The product details are as follows: Origin - Made in the USA or Imported; Sole material - Rubber; Outer material - Canvas; Closure type - Pull-On. The Classic Alpargata Earthwise textile uppers feature custom CloudBound foam insoles for all-day comfort and support. The insole is made with 50% eco content (25% recycled PU foam, 15% recycled rubber, 10% bio oil). The outsole height is approximately 1/2".

TOMS commits ⅓ of their profits in support of grassroots good, partnering with organizations at the local level to boost mental health, increase access to opportunity, and end gun violence. This commitment to giving back is a core part of the TOMS brand ethos, reflecting the company's founding mission to improve lives and communities around the world.
