FAQs
Can I wash my Toms in the washing machine?
It is generally recommended to hand wash or spot clean your Toms to preserve the integrity of the materials and the shape of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The classic Alpargata design is generally accommodating, but the cotton/canvas material will stretch over time to provide a more custom fit.
Are these suitable for rainy weather?
These shoes are not waterproof and are best suited for dry, casual conditions.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The UK 5.5 size is standard; ensure you have enough room for your toes without your heel slipping out when walking.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, they are designed to be worn comfortably without socks, though low-cut 'no-show' socks can be worn for extra moisture management.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to help them maintain their shape when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too snug initially
Toms canvas materials often stretch slightly with wear to better conform to your foot shape.
Visible dust or lint on the black fabric
Use a standard fabric lint roller or a piece of masking tape to quickly remove surface dust.
Slight discomfort during extended wear
Consider adding a slim, aftermarket orthotic insole if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period required for most users. To maintain the appearance of the black fabric, it is recommended to store them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If the shoes become dusty, a soft-bristled brush can be used to clear debris. If they require a deeper clean, opt for spot cleaning with a mild detergent and cold water, then allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Ensure you check the sizing guide to confirm the UK 5.5 fit meets your specific foot dimensions, as Toms sizing can occasionally vary slightly between different models.
