It was the renowned name in footwear known for its lightweight, fashion-forward designs that gave back to people in need.
But US-born TOMS is back in Australia after a lengthy hiatus, returning with a renewed commitment to style, comfort and sustainability.
With a rich heritage dating back to 2006, TOMS has long been synonymous with using business as a force for good.

Famously known for pioneering the One-for-One business model, in which an item is given away to a person in need for each item sold, the brand has evolved its impact strategy to giving one-third of its profits for good.
Outside of its commitment to do more and be more, TOMS shoes are also catering to just about everyone with its platforms, espadrilles flats and revered alpargatas.
My fiancé has long since been a devotee of the alpargatas and has a pair on rotation at all times to take camping, on walks and even out to dinner.
They’re incredibly easy to pack into a suitcase because of how light they are and you’ll never end up with blisters after a long day of walking in them.
“These shoes are lightweight making them breathable. You hardly feel like you have shoes on at all,” one reviewer wrote online.
“Great shoe to dress up or down when you need something less casual than a sneaker. Comfortable and for a cause!” Said another.
A third added: “I love my Toms shoes. My job requires me to stand all day but still wear professional clothing. These are a much more comfortable option to just flats because I obviously can’t wear sneakers with my dress pants.
“I have them in basic colors so I can match them with every outfit. The arch support is a great change from other shoes.”
