Autumn footwear has a difficult job. It needs to handle unpredictable weather, work with heavier seasonal layers and remain comfortable enough for everything from the daily commute to a full weekend on your feet. For Autumn 2026, TOMS has several options that make that transition particularly easy.
Founded in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, in 2006, TOMS built its name around the Alpargata, the laid-back slip-on that helped establish the brand’s reputation for simplicity and comfort. Two decades later, its footwear offering has expanded considerably, while retaining that relaxed approach to everyday style.
The brand also continues to connect its footwear with a wider purpose. Purchases help support children’s education, health and wellbeing, while TOMS is a Certified B Corp.
Here are three TOMS styles worth considering this autumn.
TOMS TRVL LITE Miles Trainer
For men who want one trainer capable of moving between casual and smarter outfits, the TOMS TRVL LITE Miles Trainer is arguably the most versatile of the three.
Priced at £90, the new Miles arrives in water-resistant tan brown leather, giving it a more refined appearance than your typical everyday trainer while making it better suited to Britain’s changeable autumn weather. TOMS describes its WTR Resist leather as its strongest water-resistant material, designed to withstand rain and snow.
Underfoot, the trainer combines TOMS’ lightweight TRVL LITE technology with an RMAT rubber-blend outsole designed to provide cushioning, rebound and durability. A removable CloudBound foam insole adds comfort, while the padded collar and stretch laces make the Miles particularly easy to slip on and off.
The tan leather is also ideal for autumn styling. Wear these with dark indigo jeans, an Oxford shirt and a chore jacket for the office, or combine them with chinos, knitwear and an overshirt at the weekend.
TOMS Carlo Mid Terrain 2.0
When the weather becomes a little less forgiving, the TOMS Carlo Mid Terrain 2.0 steps things up.
Also priced at £90, this higher-cut trainer arrives in water-resistant chocolate brown leather and sits somewhere between a casual trainer and a lightweight urban boot. That makes it a strong option for autumn, particularly if you want extra coverage without committing to traditional heavy-duty boots.
The minimalist lace-up silhouette keeps things contemporary, while an oversized grooved rubber outsole provides additional traction. Inside, removable and washable CloudBound foam insoles are designed for all-day comfort and support, with a heel pull tab making them easier to get on and off.
Chocolate brown is one of those colours that becomes increasingly useful as temperatures fall. Pair the Carlo Mid Terrain 2.0 with washed denim, cords or relaxed trousers, adding a heavyweight overshirt or technical jacket to complete the look.
TOMS Alpargata Premium
TOMS wouldn’t feel complete without an Alpargata, and the Natural Alpargata Premium Shoes at Next offer a more elevated interpretation of the silhouette that started the brand’s story.
Priced at £90, the Natural Alpargata Premium retains the instantly recognisable slip-on construction while introducing a thicker sole for a more contemporary profile. The textured upper features tonal stitching, a signature elasticated V-insert and subtle logo detailing.
While the two leather trainers are natural choices for wetter days, the Alpargata Premium works particularly well during those milder autumn moments. Its neutral colouring also complements the earthy palette that tends to dominate men’s wardrobes at this time of year.
Try them with relaxed trousers, a heavyweight T-shirt and cardigan, or use them to soften a workwear-inspired combination of straight-leg denim and a canvas jacket.
Easy Autumn Footwear
What makes these three styles interesting is the range they cover. The TRVL LITE Miles provides a smart everyday trainer, the Carlo Mid Terrain 2.0 brings extra protection and traction, and the Alpargata Premium delivers the relaxed simplicity for which TOMS remains best known.
Together, they demonstrate how autumn footwear doesn’t necessarily need to mean switching immediately into bulky boots. With water-resistant leather, comfortable construction and versatile seasonal colours, TOMS has created options designed to carry you comfortably through autumn, while keeping everyday styling refreshingly straightforward.
