FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The TOMS ALPARGATA generally comes in a regular width. If you have significantly wide feet, these may not offer the most comfortable fit. Consider trying them on to assess the width for your individual needs.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash the TOMS ALPARGATA. Machine washing can damage the canvas, insole, and sole construction. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the primary benefit of the CloudBound Sole?
The CloudBound Sole is engineered to deliver enhanced comfort and provide reliable traction. It aims to make each step feel more cushioned and secure.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary per individual. Many find them comfortable right out of the box, while others may need a few wears for the canvas to fully mold to their foot shape. Wearing them for a few hours at a time is usually sufficient.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the TOMS ALPARGATA are made from canvas and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions and should be protected from heavy rain or wet environments.
What are the shoes made of?
The upper is made of canvas, the lining is fabric, and the sole is a combination of rubber and EVA. The insole is an OrthoLite Eco LT insole.
How do I ensure I'm getting the right size?
Refer to the TOMS sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's also helpful to know your usual UK shoe size. Trying them on in person is the most reliable way to confirm the correct fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Canvas shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. If the issue persists after break-in, they may not be the right fit.
Canvas upper shows stains
Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush gently. Always air dry and avoid harsh chemicals which can damage the canvas.
Reduced grip or slippery sole
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use.
Elastic gore feels loose
The elastic gore is designed for flexibility. If it feels overly stretched, ensure the shoe size is correct. Significant stretching might indicate wear and tear over time.
