There was a time, not too long ago, these shoes were hugely popular.

Wow I remember those shoes. Never had a pair in the flat ones but had a pair of the clear,wedge with glitters they were called jellish. They are pretty shoes and were very popular when I was younger. Haven’t seen them in a while.
Toeless! Once they came in neon colors! Now they even exist in the transparent versions with silver and gold glitter!
“Poo-poo Mashers”
I Love those Toyota shoes,I still have mine and carry it to Dominica every year during W.M.C.f.cause during the time the show used to be at the Potters ville Savana Rain and mud could not stop me with my toyota shoes on they still sell them at J.E.Nassief in Roseau. Michael jordon shoes have nothing on my toyota.Long live our colourful toyota.
So I got 14 thumbs down (so far)for my comment about these shoes but I said nothing negative about the shoes! I said they were cool but I just could not wear them. Awww… Oh well……sad sad
I have a pair of toyota; its been 10 yrs and it is still going.
Toeless,PooPoo Marshall,Benta,Toyota,all the same.Got a pair here in N J and people want to buy it of my feet.
So where can I buy one? I used to like to use it on rainy days and to go on the beach. Best ever!
Toeless! Once they came in neon colors! Now they even exist in the transparent versions with silver and gold glitter!
Wow, a real blast. We live in Toronto and I have a child size one that has been passed down to several children in the family and keeps moving around. Keep the Toyota rolling.

What about Suzuki. lol
I remember them being called that. Seems they had different names based on brands of vehicles. I would go out on a limb here and say the name you know has to do with the region of dominica you’re from.

Toyota the summer river and sea bathing accessory . My summer would be incomplete with one
WOW!!! Toyota we use to call dem. I so wish I had one right now. I need to get me a pair just for keeps
I have a pair that someone left and haven’t gotten around to throwing out. They are still around.

I remember those. I never had a pair because I did not like unisex looking shoes. I still don’t. I still don’t wear gym shoes. My sneaks have to be ones for girls/women ONLY but wow, these were pretty cool and very popular. I just could not wear them

I need a pair for the beach
I want to buy a pair of these for really rainy days in Roseau.
BOIIII dat was d realest shoe you could have back then..everybody had that, Long lasting, and if d back part of it burst, jus use to cut tht off..turn it into a slippers one time!..Respect a RUBBER SHOE Boi.
Or you could stick it by using a hot flat metal surface like an old knife to melt the rubber between two points to stick it. Good times…
they are still very popular, I still wear them today. Good for going to the garden, the beach and wear on a rainy day! those shoes are going nowhere, they are the past, present and future
