FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata features a standard width with elastic gore, which offers some flexibility. However, they are not specifically designed for wide feet. If you have very wide feet, they might feel snug.
Can I remove the insole to clean it separately?
No, the CloudBound foam insoles are permanently attached and are not designed to be removed.
What is the 'Earthwise' material?
Earthwise is TOMS' designation for materials that are more environmentally conscious, such as recycled or natural fibers, contributing to a more sustainable product.
How should I care for the striped pattern?
The striped pattern is part of the textile. Follow the general care instructions for spot cleaning with mild detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could fade the color.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the textile uppers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the heel height or outsole height?
The outsole height is approximately 13mm.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking or intense physical activity?
No, the TOMS Alpargata is designed as a casual, lifestyle shoe and does not offer the support or durability required for hiking or intense athletic activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon arrival
TOMS Alpargatas may require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for a few hours at a time to allow them to mold to your feet. Avoid wearing them outdoors until they feel comfortable.
Insole is not removable
The CloudBound insoles are permanently attached. If you require custom orthotics, consider using very thin insoles or exploring other shoe models designed for orthotic compatibility.
Sole shows signs of wear
The TPR outsole is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can cause wear. If significant wear is noticed, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
Fabric scuffs or stains easily
For minor scuffs, try a soft eraser. For stains, follow the spot cleaning instructions carefully. Protecting the shoes with a fabric protector spray (suitable for textile materials) before wear may help prevent future stains.
