FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While comfortable for everyday wear and light walking, they are not specifically designed for long-distance or strenuous walking due to their casual construction and low-profile insole.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What does 'Earthwise' signify?
'Earthwise' signifies that the materials used, such as recycled cotton and heritage canvas, are part of TOMS' commitment to using more sustainable and eco-conscious components.
Is the insole removable?
No, the insole is non-removable. It is designed with 50% eco content for comfort and sustainability.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the TOMS sizing chart and consider your typical shoe size. The Alpargata Oxford Flat has an elastic gore for a flexible fit, but if you are between sizes, consider sizing up for a slightly roomier feel.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is approximately 13mm in height and is constructed from durable materials consistent with casual footwear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The elastic gore should help them stretch slightly to conform to your foot.
Discoloration of fabric
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or wet conditions, which can cause fading or discoloration. Spot clean gently if marks appear.
Insole is uncomfortable or needs replacement
The insole is non-removable. For added cushioning or arch support, consider using a thin, insertable insole compatible with flat shoes, ensuring it does not alter the fit significantly.
