Toughees have been a trusted children’s school shoe brand since 1954 – a proud heritage for a company that values its high quality products and solid history. Over 4 million Toughees school shoes are manufactured locally at our factory in Loskop, situated in KwaZulu-Natal at the base of the Drakensberg mountains. Designed with active children in mind: their limitless energy means that whether they are running, kicking a football, jumping or zestful fun-times around, their shoes – particularly their school shoes – need to be able to go the distance.
