Blake Mycoskie headed up philanthropic footwear brand
TOMS back in 2006 with a “one for one” model in mind – meaning that for every shoe purchased, the label would provide a pair for a child that doesn’t have any. Cue: the
Alpargata. They’re whipped up from canvas with an elasticated ‘V’ at the front and sit on the shoemaker’s CloudBound sole to cushion your every step. Keep things light by teaming yours with some linen shorts and a loose-fitting shirt.
