Tod’s: Italian-Made Footwear for Every Day
From driving shoes to dress shoes, we dive into why we love Tod’s latest line-up.
Tod’s is one of the most revered Italian footwear brands in the world and has developed its well-deserved reputation for excellence since forming in 1920.
Most will already be fondly familiar with Tod’s iconic driving shoes, though the label’s selection of boots, sneakers, and dress shoes are just as impressive, each of which similarly display features like premium materials, high-quality construction, and luxury finishes.
Tod’s expansive range of Italian-made footwear is designed to seamlessly add style and finesse to any man’s wardrobe, whatever his lifestyle. No matter the occasion, there’s a pair of Tod’s that will help you look your best.
Driving Shoes
The driving shoe is undoubtedly Tod’s most iconic design and has been since the original iterations became widely popular across Europe in the 1970s.
These classic, easy-wearing shoes were created to offer a more comfortable alternative to dress shoes for motorists, who found the soft sole and lack of a stacked leather heel offered them more mobility while driving.
Tod’s trademark ‘Gommino’ loafers famously feature 133 rubber ‘pebbles’ along the outsole and heel of each shoe, which provides maximum comfort when worn while also offering practical grip to help drivers maneuver between peddles and switch gears at speed.
Today, the Gommino loafers are available in a wide range of different finishes and colours, with the most popular styles made from rich nubuck, supple suede, and premium leathers.
Boots
Boots are an integral part of any footwear wardrobe. Come the cooler seasons, boots are essentially the only shoes we wear, which is exactly why having a healthy selection of different styles is so important.
Tod’s modern interpretations of classic styles like Chelsea boots and desert boots combine contemporary innovation with timeless silhouettes. Top-quality materials like calfskin leather and soft suede are elegantly cobbled to comfortable pebbled rubber soles, which offers both form and function.
Whether you’re wearing your favourite selvedge denim or some tailored, flannel trousers, Tod’s boots are ideal for essentially any outfit from fall through to spring — or even on cool summer nights!
Sneakers
Every man requires at least one pair of sneakers, though just how casual or formal they are is entirely his preference. Luckily, Tod’s sneakers cater to men of all tastes, with styles varying in formality and design influence.
Knit sock-style shoes featuring woven uppers and athletically inspired rubber soles are made for the active man who often sports athleisure whereas Tod’s grained nubuck panel sneakers would prefer to be worn with a pair of 5-pocket cashmere pants.
For those who value comfort just as much as style, we can’t recommend Tod’s refined take on the modern sneaker enough.
Dress Shoes
When the occasion calls for something a little more formal, Tod’s also has you covered with its impressive selection of dress shoes. From loafers to lace-ups, Tod’s most elevated array of footwear provides timeless style in an era when elegance can be hard to find.
Tod’s dress shoes are also available in several different colours and finishes, with materials like premium calfskin and soft suede uppers used for both loafers and derbies. Hand-stitched details, comfortable leather insoles, and grippy rubber outsoles feature across Tod’s full range of dress shoes, providing high-quality features where they’re needed most.
