FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata features an elastic gore for a flexible fit. While this accommodates some width, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These espadrilles are made from canvas and jute, which are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the materials and affect their appearance.
How should I clean the jute sole if it gets dirty?
The jute sole can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the jute, and allow it to air dry thoroughly.
What does 'earthwise™ collection' mean?
The earthwise™ collection signifies products that are designed with the planet in mind, utilizing more sustainable and eco-friendly materials and production methods.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The shoes feature a comfortable TOMS signature insole made with eco-friendly content. However, they are designed for casual wear and may not provide significant arch support for individuals requiring specialized orthopedic features.
How do I know if I'm buying an ethically produced pair?
TOMS is a member of the Fair Labor Association and works with suppliers committed to ethical practices. The product description and TOMS' official channels will confirm their commitment to fair labor.
What is the return policy for TOMS shoes?
Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy where you purchased the shoes, as it may vary. TOMS' official website also provides details on their return process for direct purchases.
Troubleshooting
Espadrilles feel too tight initially
Wear them with socks around the house for a short period to allow the canvas to stretch slightly and conform to your foot shape. Avoid prolonged wear until they feel comfortable.
Discoloration from water or stains
Gently spot clean the affected area immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. Blot dry and allow to air dry completely.
Odor develops over time
Use a fabric freshener spray specifically designed for shoes, or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure they are fully dry before wearing.
Elastic gore feels loose
This is a natural part of the design for easy wear. If it becomes excessively stretched, it may indicate significant wear. Consider professional shoe repair if it impacts comfort significantly.
