The Downtown Dappers are a pair of shoes that are exactly what they say they are. Feel good and walk with a smug little spring in your step with a set of derby oxfords that look classy and don't break the bank. Made with vegan leather and smooth rubber roles, the Dappers are sleek with a slightly more pointed toe and speak of a subtle charm. Derby-style lacing is less formal than the classic oxford style, so you won't feel too strange if you wear these shoes every day. As a lower-cost option, they still look nice enough to wear to a special occasion like a wedding or a big job interview.

Our best-selling Downtown Dappers are the perfect introductory shoe for a handsomely stylish person who wants to start dipping their toes into the more masculine end of footwear but isn't ready to spend hundreds of dollars on shoes. They come in a striking steely blue, a handsome sandy brown, a classic jet black, an eye-catching sharkfin grey, and a warm, confident dark brown. With smooth rubber soles that will last longer than the high-formality leather soles of other oxfords, the Downtown Dapper line of formal shoes are a great first pair that will make you proud to step out into public.

Each pair of Downtown Dappers comes with a complementary tin of neutral shoe polish.

Styled comfort

These shoes are comfortable as sneakers, yet dressy for any occasions.

Good For A Night Out, Not For Work

First off, Tomboy Toes had great customer service. I have weird sized feet and finally found nice shoes that fit me and feel like they were made for me. When I had a question about sizing, I got a response in a timely manner.

I ordered two pairs of shoes—the Downtown Dapper in black and a pair in light brown.
The light brown pair is still very nice, although I have only worn them inside. This is the pair I plan to wear for my wedding so I haven’t wanted to risk getting them too dirty.
The black pair I finally got to wear for work. I hesitated for a bit because it went from snowy to rainy in my state with little real summer, and I didn’t want to have the weather wear them out immediately. This last week was my first week wearing my black shoes for work. I got many compliments on them, and they were very comfortable.
Unfortunately, they have already worn out after 5 days of work. The leather is falling off the top of one shoe and starting to show cracks in the other. I’m planning on replacing them soon as they don’t look like they’ll last another week.

TL;DR - Very great customer service, snazzy and comfortable shoes. Lots of good sizing options, especially for shorter people. Good for limited use, but may not be suited as every day shoes.

Quality goes bad

Hi Team,

Tomboy toes was my favorite leather shoes afterall. I finally found leather shoes that suit my leg. But i am sad that my favourite brand has no longer sustain at least a year.

Last two year i purchase a dapper black without the wide feet, it seems a good pair, i also wipe shoe oil on it frequently until then the leather slowly spoil as wear and tear. Understandable. So I recently purchased a new pair with wider feet, i not sure why the leather always come out after wearing once. I do get replacement, which i give rating for 3 star. But the leather also same as last pair.

It is really sad to see the quality has changed.

Best Regards,
Yigene

Fabulously Timed, Incredibly comfortable, Gorgeously Joyous

Not only are these incredibly gender-affirming, both from the details of using European sizes [the equivalents really, really work] and the styles, butttt I was told my shoes probably wouldn’t be able to arrive in time for a week after I ordered them (4-5 businesses days after). I even got an email saying they wouldn’t be able to ship out until 3-4 business days. So I’m low-key high-key planning to wear my siblings’ very femme shoes, since at least they’ll be black, to my event.

3 business days after I order them, I see the glorious package. Perfectly sized [way to save the environment], with the prettiest black tissue paper. They fit like a gem, are surprisingly comfortable, and while strong, the scent is actually kind of pleasant? Jerky-adjacent, though I’ll be sure to follow the delightfully helpful and gorgeous card it comes with to deal with it.

My shoes came 2 days early!! Thank you so, so much!! My event will be amazing, with gender euphoric shoes to support me all along the way.

I can’t wait to get the funds to order the Peacock boots next, should they ever make a wide version.

Tl;Dr these came fabulously early, fabulously comfortably, and have given me great joy within the first 5 minutes of being with them. Thank you, Tomboy Toes!!!!!
