The perfect man: he’s committed to environmental and social causes, good looking, and he just wants to make your life more comfortable. Ladies, your perfect man is a shoe!

This fall, Toms Shoes is launching several models that have our little hearts beating. They already score points with their ethical production and their “one for one” program that gives a pair of shoes to a destitute child for every pair that you buy. Then you slip them on and feel the joy of walking out in shoes as comfortable as your slippers and you want to wear them every day, luckily with their sturdy construction, you actually can.

The model we’re really crushing on this fall is the just launched wrap boot, with its adjustable strap that wraps around your leg it will fit you whether you have tiny calves that always leave an unsightly gap in high boots or sturdy muscles that mean you can never slip said boots on. The sole is the classic Toms alpargata base with a stretch canvas top that comes in four fetching colors and a Velcro closure. To promote the boot, founder Blake Mycoskie produced a sexy little film to pay tribute to the polo inspiration behind the design, check it out on vimeo.

Also note worthy are the Vote shoes, quite literally, shoes to support your party in the election race. Whether you sport the jackass or the elephant, make sure to get your feet to shuffle to the polls on the big day. Jenn Breckenridge of the Green Loop is also a big fan of the shoes, although we suspect, from her very entertaining article, that she might have a favorite…

Finally, for the vegans amongst you, you can also find the perfect match in Toms new vegan line. The shoes usually have a leather insole that will be replaced with micro-fiber in this version; the six styles are made from 67% hemp and 33% post-consumer plastic bottles. For the moment, these are only sold at Whole Foods stores.

Now that’s true love…at least for your feet!
