Product Information
Full details
The TOMS Alpargata Ballet Navy Espadrilles are designed for adult females seeking a blend of trend-driven style and iconic TOMS comfort. The key benefit is their versatile design that transitions easily from casual daywear to more polished looks, offering a feminine twist on a beloved silhouette. A potential consideration is that the shorter upper may not provide the same level of coverage as traditional closed-toe shoes. These espadrilles feature a textile upper, a comfortable EVA outsole, and the signature Alpargata asymmetrical overlay, making them a stylish and easy-to-wear option.

FAQs
What is the main difference between the Alpargata Ballet and the classic Alpargata?
The Alpargata Ballet features a shorter upper that covers only the toes, offering a more delicate and feminine silhouette compared to the classic Alpargata's fully enclosed upper.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata line generally offers a standard width fit. While the textile upper has some give, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The textile upper is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may affect the material.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably without being tight. Your heel should not slip excessively when walking. Refer to the TOMS sizing chart for specific measurements if needed.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), a material known for its cushioning and lightweight properties.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
These TOMS Alpargata Ballet espadrilles are manufactured in Vietnam.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles are typically integrated into the shoe for comfort and structure, and are not designed to be easily removed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight on first wear.
TOMS shoes, especially those with textile uppers, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and they should mold to your feet.
Material appears discolored after cleaning.
Ensure you are using only a damp cloth and avoiding harsh cleaning agents. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The EVA outsole offers grip, but like any footwear, performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Consider adding a non-slip sole protector if this is a frequent concern.
