Although the Gommino model may not have a long history dating back centuries, having been first crafted towards the end of the 1970s, its design excellence and perfect functionality have never ceased to captivate. Inspired by driving shoes from the 1950s, the Gommino has evolved into a highly popular shoe design for Tod's, characterised by its distinctive sole covered with 133 rubber pebbles. This unique feature, coupled with unparalleled quality, has quickly propelled the Gommino to become a coveted footwear choice among celebrities and influencers worldwide.

Furthermore, Tod's distinctive identity in footwear is underscored by their meticulous manufacturing process and design.

Coupled with a production process that demands highly skilled craftsmanship, every aspect of leather cutting and stitching is done by hand. This process involves over 100 steps and utilises up to 35 leather pieces.

While many may perceive Tod's loafers is a shoes to be worn only for warm seasons, the brand has evolved to cater to urban lifestyles as well. Through models like the City Gommino, they've thickened the rubber sole, revolutionising formal footwear with its rubber-soled loafers. This model has gained immense popularity worldwide. Moreover, for the winter season, the special edition W.G. or Winter Gommino with its signature rubber sole has become one of the hottest items from the brand. Therefore, it's no exaggeration to say that the Gommino is a legendary design that continues to impress and uphold Tod's legacy with pride.

In the past year, the Gommino shoe model has undergone continuous changes and developments to align with increasingly sophisticated fashion trends. This dedication has led to the latest addition to the Gommino line, the “Gommino Bubble.” These loafers feature a softer and more luxurious style, achieved through the redesign of the original Rubber Pebble sole to incorporate larger and more colourful pebbles.

Furthermore, for those seeking personalised footwear that reflects their individuality, Tod's now offers a special service called 'My Gommino.' The service that allows interested individuals to participate in the creation of their own unique Gommino shoes by selecting materials and colours of the leather according to their preferences.
