TOMS Shoes; "With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One." [link]

This is a template for TOMS Shoes. I've purchased a pair of natural canvas TOMS that I'm going to paint with this amazing under water setting, but from concept, this is not going to be any easy task and not something I want to go into without a plan. So I needed a template. Searching online left me with nothing, so the only solution was to make one myself.

It started out with trying to wrap printer paper around this oddly shaped, rounded object. Not the easiest thing to accomplish accurately, but accomplished just the same. From there, I thought a digital copy would be nice after I had already gone through all the trouble or creating the original template. I scanned the images into Illustrator, placed them accordingly, and created this template for use in designing a pair of TOMS Shoes.

The template was drawn from a pair of size 9 shoes. Image has been uploaded at the original size, scanned from the original hand traced images so should be extremely precise. Original image is available for download and measures 14in. high, with a width of 10in. This template is for the right shoe.
