Toughees, The Great South African School Shoe

Ever since the first pairs of Toughees rolled off our production line way back in 1954 they have been worn by generation after generation of South African kids throughout their entire school-going lives.

For our customers the tried and tested traditions of durability and smartness that Toughees stand for continues, a tradition made possible by a rigorous and uncompromising commitment to quality – quality of materials, quality of workmanship and quality of service.

Toughees : Made Strong To Last Long!

Did You Know?

  • All Toughees come with a 6 Month Guarantee against fair wear and tear
  • All Toughees are made with Genuine Leather Uppers.
  • The New Non-Polish Leather Uppers have an easy-care protective coating which guards against scuffs, stains and water and which simply wipe clean with a damp cloth.

In consultation with the South African Podiatrist Association, Toughees have developed the Platinum range with a uniquely wide fit to encourage strong foot development. The Platinum range is also lighter, softer and more flexible. For more details visit the SA Podiatrist Association website: www.podiatrist.co.za
