Toughees has been a registered brand since 1954 – a proud heritage for these quality shoes. As the market leader in Southern Africa, four million pairs are sold each year – proving that they really do stand up to their name! Worn by children some who may have to walk long distances to school, Toughees have podiatry approved styles, encouraging strong foot development. All Toughees are made with genuine leather uppers, providing breathable comfort for young feet as well as non-polish leather – simply wipe clean with a damp cloth!
