FAQs
Are these machine washable?
It is recommended to spot clean these shoes by hand to protect the integrity of the eco-friendly materials and canvas fabric.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the interior is designed for comfort and the breathable cotton/jute blend is suitable for barefoot wear.
Are they water-resistant?
No, these are made from natural fibers and are not designed to be worn in rainy or wet conditions.
What does 'Earthwise' mean?
Earthwise is a TOMS collection focused on using materials with lower environmental impact, such as recycled foam and natural fibers.
Do these provide arch support?
They feature a cushioned signature insole for comfort, but they do not provide the structural support of a dedicated orthopedic shoe.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly tight upon first wear
The canvas upper typically relaxes and conforms to your foot shape after a few hours of wear.
Insole feels compressed over time
Allow the shoes to rest for 24 hours to let the recycled foam recover its shape.

- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the eco-friendly foam insole.
