# Charitable Whiskered Footwear TOMS Shoes ‘Movember' Raises Money for Men's Healt By Matt Ho | Published 2011-11-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toms-shoes-movember References: [swagsofresh](http://swagsofresh.com/footwear/tom-shoes-limited-edition-movember-cancer-awareness/) & [toms](http://www.toms.com/movember-styles?icid=us-home-092011_132) This month, men are growing mustaches for Movember to [raise money for prostate cancer research](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indigenous-men) and for those who can’t grow one, you can help out with the purchase of the TOMS Shoes ‘Movember’ footwear. The TOMS Shoes ‘Movember’ footwear was designed specifically to help the charitable organization that started in 2004. The brand has released two silhouette styles with the same light black colorway. The first is a pair of Black Brushed Twill Botas with contrasting light gray laces and a beautifully weaved pattern on the insole. TOMS has also integrated an elastic strap for a secure fit even when the shoes aren’t tied. The second models has all the same features of the Botas, but is a simple classic slip-on. In honor of Movember, both footwear have an embroidered mustache on the side. These [limited edition shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wear-your-heart) are available now with all proceeds going to the [Movember Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distinguished-gentlemans-ride). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Charitable Footwear:** Opportunity to create more charitable footwear collaborations to support worthy causes. - **Limited Edition Collaborations:** Creating limited edition collaborations can drive excitement and raise funds for charitable organizations. - **Embroidered Design Elements:** Incorporating embroidered design elements can add a unique touch to footwear and drive customer engagement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Collaborations between fashion brands and charitable organizations can create positive social impact while boosting brand reputation. - **Nonprofit Sector:** Opportunity for nonprofit organizations to collaborate with fashion brands and utilize creative product offerings to raise funds and awareness. - **Footwear Industry:** Incorporating design elements like embroidered details can be a way for footwear brands to differentiate themselves and attract customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Breast Cancer Awareness-Supporting Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-in-pink.md) - [Dapper-Themed Group Motorcycle Rides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distinguished-gentlemans-ride.md) - [Scannable Snack Charity Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pringles-movember-campaign.md) - [Mental Health Snack Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movember-tubes.md) - [Male Health-Awareness NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonfungibletesticles.md) - [Male-Targeted Emotional-Wellness Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indigenous-men.md) - [Awareness-Raising Shoe Store Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soles4souls-canada.md) - [Awareness-Raising Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hats-for-hope-movement.md) - [Breast Cancer Awareness-Focused Mascaras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrive-causemetics1.md)
