Do all Tom’s shoes have leather?
Okay so if you haven’t checked out these shoes yet, you must go to tomsshoes.com and see for yourself. They’ve even had an article written about their cause, it’s really great. And the pairs are super cute, all different colors, even little kid sizes.
But as far as I can tell, they all have leather in them. I couldn’t find any that didn’t have leather myself, and it doesn’t say on their site that it’s cruelty free leather. I’ve sent them my inquiry, but it’s been a while, and I still haven’t heard anything….
Do you know anything?
Anyone? Please?
TOMS seems like it’s a great brand, but their shoes are made in China, which screams sweatshop to me. Also, their shoes cost upwards of $40 and $50, but the shoes don’t cost more than about $2-$5 to make. Where’s all the extra money going? Certainly not to the workers. It just seems shady to me, and leather is just the icing on the cake.
