TOMS signature 1 for 1 shoe just got a bit of a revamp with the new Sophie wedge. Not only is this shoe also a 1 for 1 piece of perfection, it's also adorably summery and goes with just about everything.

The TOMS Sophie wedge is done in neutral shades that complement almost any outfit and allow ultimate versatility. The 1 for 1 ideology also means that when you get a gorgeous pair of new shoes, so does a child in need. The cork wedges mix comfort and style to give a great look and a wearable shoe that is sure to become a summer favorite. The chambray detailing and soft wedge design ensures that you aren't walking around cursing your summer shoes.
