FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Alpargata Plus features a spacious fit, which generally accommodates a wider range of foot shapes comfortably.

Can I machine wash the entire shoe?

What is the main difference between Alpargata Plus and Classic Alpargata?

The Alpargata Plus features a new, taller outsole and added comfort elements like enhanced CloudBound™ soles and memory foam topper, while maintaining the classic Alpargata silhouette.

How do I know if TOMS shoes are ethically made?

TOMS is a member of the Fair Labor Association, meaning they work with suppliers who uphold ethical labor practices, ensure safe working conditions, and respect human rights.

What is the 'Wear Good' initiative?

How durable is the RMAT sole?

The RMAT sole is a premium rubber blend designed to offer a good balance of cushioning, bounce, and durability for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Insoles feel damp after washing.

Ensure insoles are completely air-dried before placing them back into the shoes. Avoid using a machine dryer.

Crochet upper snagged or pulled.

Gently try to smooth the pulled thread back into place. For minor snags, a small needle might be used carefully. Avoid rough contact with sharp objects.

Shoes feel too loose.

The spacious fit and elastic gore are designed for comfort. If a snugger fit is desired, consider using a heel grip or a thin insole liner.
