Our Story
Better Tomorrows begin with 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 into a global force for good. For nearly 20 years, we’ve walked this journey together with you.

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.
