Full details

The TOMS Alpargata Ballet Flats in Black (UK 3) are designed for women seeking comfortable, stylish, and eco-conscious everyday footwear. Their key benefit is the combination of a cushioned, supportive insole with a lightweight, flexible design, offering all-day comfort. A minor consideration is their suitability primarily for casual wear due to the lightweight construction. Key features include a sustainable cotton and jute canvas upper, an ultra-lightweight EVA outsole and midsole, and the signature CloudBound™ Rise insole for improved posture.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Alpargata Ballet Flats generally offer a standard fit. While they have some flexibility, they may not be ideal for very wide feet without trying them on first.

Can I machine wash these flats?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash the removable insole separately and spot clean the upper.

How long does the CloudBound™ Rise insole last?

The lifespan of the insole depends on wear frequency and care. Being removable and washable helps maintain its hygiene and extend its usability.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the canvas and jute upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.

What does 'Vegan' mean for these shoes?

It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the making of these shoes, including in the materials, dyes, and glues.

How do I know if I have the right size?

TOMS shoes should fit snugly at first, with the heel not slipping. They will mold to your foot over time. Refer to the TOMS size chart for guidance.

What is the environmental impact of jute?

Jute is a natural fiber that requires minimal water to grow and is biodegradable. Using it in the shoe's construction contributes to a lower environmental footprint.

Troubleshooting

Insole feels stiff or uncomfortable

Ensure the insole is fully broken in by wearing the shoes for short periods initially. The memory foam will conform to your foot over time.

Canvas upper looks dirty

Spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used gently. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.

Shoes feel slightly loose

The slip-on design means a snug fit is intended. If they feel too loose, consider adding a thinner insole or heel grips for a more secure feel.

Water exposure damage

Avoid prolonged exposure to water. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and air dry them completely away from heat.
