TOMS, the ethical shoe company that gives a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair bought by you, is expanding its basic collection with some more winter-friendly styles including women's boots, casual pumps and some unisex high tops .
With one of the comfiest modern-espadrille styles around, we can assume that the new styles follow suit. All of the shoes have heel and arch support and are a lot harder wearing that you might expect. With designs for men, women and kids, (and even a wedding range), there's no excuse not to run and pick a pair from the ever growing range.
A new pair of shoes and good karma for £29.99? Form an orderly queue please...
Soon to be available in the UK directly from www.toms.com, or you can find selected styles at House of Fraser, Office a nd Schuh now.

Emma Watson's not been off our fashion radar this month with ad campaign shots and backstage videos for Burberry coming out in drips and drabs over the past few weeks, writes ShinyStyle's Andrea Petrou.
However, this time she's back on our pages for creative and modelling reasons. Sneak previews of her awaited ethical collection for People Tree have hit the online stands and at first look we can say these togs, modelled by Emma, are looking fashionable and comfortable.
The collection, which was announced back in September last year, is claimed to be 100% ethical with fair trade groups using organic cotton to make the clothes by hand. Apparently the work put into the range also helps improve the lives of disadvantaged workers in Bangladesh, India and Nepal.
And we also love the logos, which include quirky phrases such as "Don't panic, I'm organic."
We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures but until then we want to hear from you. Is this just another celebrity designer trying to get onto the fashion bandwagon?
Take a look at the two pictures and let us know what you think by leaving your comments below.

These look interesting for younger kids (my six year old would love them). Called Shains they're eco-friendly accessories made out of 100 per cent recycled and recyclable materials. The idea is that you can customise them with whatever message/statement you want by pressing different elements into the bracelets and cuffs.
Up to 60 different elements (letters/icons) are available and the bracelet cuffs come in 12 different colours. You can also add a Shains brooch or keyring to your bag or whatever you want to accessorise. Prices vary from £1.50 for the accessories to £9.50 for the cuff starter kit.

Looking for an alternative to leather? Green Shoes uses Lorica which they claim is durable, soft, lightweight, and water-repellent. It looks and breathes like natural leather and comes in a wide range of colours; red, purple, navy blue, dark green, brown and black. Nor is it just the vegan leather that is 100 per cent animal-free; the glues, soles and threads are too.
They even offer a vegan alternative for kids' shoes. Vegan Lorisuede, a soft vegan suede, is available on most of the footwear and a few of the accessories. These are what the Sweetpea baby booties are made of.
All products are handmade and boots, shoes and sandals come in a range of leg and foot width fittings and are even available in half sizes. Children's shoes too can be customised with a range colourful appliqués. Prices range from £20 for the kids' booties to over £200 for some of the women's boots.
Unfortunately it's too late to order shoes for Xmas now, but there is still time to post out accessories providing you get your order in by December 21st (they have some nice Vegan satchel and shoulder bags)
