FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The TOMS Alpargata Low Shoes feature an elastic gore that provides some flexibility. However, they are generally designed for a standard width. If you have significantly wide feet, they might feel snug.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The heritage canvas and jute upper are not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in wet conditions to prevent damage and maintain their appearance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoes should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight initially, as the materials are designed to stretch and conform to your foot shape over time. Ensure there's no excessive pressure on any part of your foot.

What makes the insole 'eco-friendly'?

The insole is made with 50% eco-friendly content, which includes recycled PU foam, recycled rubber, and bio-oil, reducing the reliance on virgin materials and lowering the environmental footprint.

Are these shoes truly vegan?

Yes, this particular model is part of TOMS' vegan collection, meaning no animal products or by-products are used in its construction.

How often should I clean my Alpargatas?

Clean your Alpargatas as needed, typically when they appear visibly dirty or after significant wear. Avoid overly frequent or aggressive cleaning, as it can wear down the materials.

What does TOMS' 'Wear Good' initiative mean?

TOMS' 'Wear Good' signifies their commitment to social responsibility. By purchasing TOMS, customers contribute to funding mental health resources for millions in need, alongside ethical production practices.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or snug

The elastic gore allows for some stretch. Wear the shoes for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. If still uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size or explore if a half-size larger might be more suitable.

Slight discoloration on canvas/jute

This can sometimes occur due to the natural materials or dyes. Spot clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Foot odor after wear

Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Use odor-absorbing insoles or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Air them out between wears.

Wear and tear on the sole

For minor wear, consider resoling if feasible by a cobbler. However, these shoes are primarily designed for casual, moderate use, and significant wear may indicate they have reached the end of their typical lifespan.

Pros and Cons

  • Environmentally conscious construction using recycled and eco-friendly materials.
  • Easy slip-on design with elastic gore for convenience.
  • Stylish and versatile for casual outfits.
  • Supports social causes through the TOMS brand initiative.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient support for extended periods of standing or strenuous activity.
  • Canvas material might not be ideal for wet weather conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The TOMS Alpargata Low Shoes require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear right out of the box.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult wear and are suitable for most casual and semi-casual outfits. They are best suited for dry weather conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For the canvas and jute upper, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Insole: The eco-friendly insole can be gently wiped clean. For odors, a light dusting of baking soda inside the shoe can help.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain their shape and material integrity.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing or drying is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction.
