Toehold Ventures

Toehold creates handcrafted leather flip-flops and accessories, blending traditional artistry with durable materials. Their signature flip-flops undergo a precise 550-step process, using American-made full-grain cowhide and ethically sourced exotic leathers. This merges ancient techniques with modern methods for superior finish. Offerings include wallets, belts, bags, and slides.

Founded in 2010 by AG Gregoroff, Toehold originated from his rugged San Diego hike. He identified a market need for highly durable, comfortable footwear. This insight drove Gregoroff to establish the company, aiming to champion high-quality, American-made craftsmanship and prove resilient products could be produced domestically.

Toehold targets consumers prioritizing durability, ethical sourcing, and local manufacturing. Its clientele seeks lasting, quality items reflecting meticulous detail, contrasting disposable trends. The company’s vision is to redefine American-made excellence, showing superior craftsmanship and longevity are achievable through dedicated domestic production and time-honored artisan techniques.
