FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash TOMS Alpargatas as it can damage the canvas and the rubber sole; spot cleaning is the best method.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The elastic V-gore allows for some flexibility, but if you have significantly wide feet, it may be beneficial to size up or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Are they truly vegan?
Yes, as part of the TOMS earthwise collection, these shoes are crafted without the use of animal-derived materials.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, they are designed to be comfortable as a slip-on shoe, though wearing no-show socks can help keep the interior fresh.
Do they provide good arch support?
They offer moderate cushioning through the signature insole, but they do not have the high-density arch support found in specialized running or orthopaedic shoes.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a well-ventilated, dry area away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the shape of the canvas.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the instep
The canvas and elastic gore will relax slightly with wear; try wearing them for short periods indoors to stretch them to your foot shape.
Inner sole feels slippery
Ensure your feet are dry before wearing. If the issue persists, a light dusting of foot powder can help improve moisture management.
Canvas has developed light stains
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild detergent and cold water to gently scrub the affected area, then air dry away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-ons, no setup is required beyond ensuring the correct size. The elastic gore will naturally stretch to accommodate the top of your foot. To care for your TOMS, we recommend spot-cleaning the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes fully, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the canvas and the adhesive in the sole. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the insole.
