“When I traveled Italy for two weeks carry-on only, Tom's iconic Alpargata shoes saved my feet. The canvas uppers and leather insoles were breathable and absorbent so my feet were never hot or sweaty, and they offered plenty of cushioning with enough arch support to keep me going over everything from Florentine cobblestones to underground Roman ruins. The casual fabric loafer design meant it could be dressed up or down, and they flew under the radar more effectively than sneakers in Europe. Plus, the company makes a donation for every pair you purchase, and it’s nice to know my investment is being paid forward.”
