FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the TOMS sizing chart. Trying them on in person, if possible, is the most reliable way to ensure a correct fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are not waterproof. They are designed for casual wear and are best protected from excessive moisture.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the CloudBound insoles are designed to be comfortable against the foot, making them suitable for sockless wear.
What is the material of the shoe?
The description mentions a blend of materials typical for Alpargatas, including a textile upper and an EVA outsole. Specific material composition may vary.
How do I clean the navy fabric?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What does 'Alpargata Ballet' mean?
It signifies a style that combines the classic Alpargata design with elements of a ballet flat, characterized by a shorter upper and a more delicate toe coverage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have selected the correct size, as sizing can vary.
Soles feel slippery.
The EVA outsole provides grip, but on extremely smooth surfaces, caution is advised. Gently scuffing the soles on a rougher surface can sometimes improve traction.
Color transfer onto socks or feet.
This can occasionally happen with new dark-colored footwear. Wearing darker socks can minimize the appearance of transfer. The issue often diminishes after the shoes are worn a few times.
Insoles are not providing enough support.
The CloudBound insoles are designed for cushioning. If additional arch support is needed, consider using compatible, slim-profile insoles that fit within the shoe without compromising the fit.
