Yes. Toms did not come up with the designs for their original shoes. They are called espadrilles and are a Latin American tradition. He got the idea when he was on vacation in Argentina I believe.
These shoes are made in Argentina, for example.

- jeremymcanally 13y agoI realize that alpargatas and espadrilles are a thing (I own some higher end ones myself! :)). I meant are these "artisan shoe makers" actually in the communities where they're sending shoes and are being actively hurt by their actions. I believe the answer is no, but I'm definitely open to being proven wrong.
