Product Information
Full details
The TOMS Alpargata Heritage shoe is designed for adults seeking comfortable, casual footwear with a commitment to social responsibility. Its key benefit is the blend of eco-conscious materials and everyday wearability, featuring a jute and cotton upper and a cushioned insole. A potential caveat is that the insole is non-removable, which may affect custom orthotic users. Key features include a heritage canvas upper, a durable TPR outsole for grip, and an elastic gore for easy on-and-off.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The TOMS Alpargata Heritage shoes are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for rigorous outdoor activities like hiking. The outsole provides basic grip, but lacks the support and traction needed for trails.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the TOMS Alpargata Heritage shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, shape, and adhesive. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
How do I know if I chose the right size?
The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably. The elastic gore should keep them secure on your foot without being too tight. If the fit feels off, consult the brand's sizing guide.
What does 'Heritage Canvas' mean?
Heritage Canvas refers to the specific blend of materials used for the upper, in this case, 68% jute and 32% cotton, emphasizing its origin and sustainable qualities.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, the TOMS Alpargata series is available in a range of colors and materials. Please check the TOMS product catalog for current offerings.
What is the benefit of TOMS being a B Corp certified company?
B Corp certification means TOMS meets high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. It signifies a commitment to using business as a force for good.
Can the insole be replaced?
The CloudBound™ insole is permanently attached and cannot be easily removed or replaced.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Canvas can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Discoloration on canvas
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
Slight odor
Air out the shoes regularly. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure they are fully dry after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes require no assembly or setup. Simply try them on for fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for general adult wear. The vegan construction makes them compatible with plant-based lifestyles. The non-removable insole means they are not directly compatible with users who need to insert custom orthotics.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the heritage canvas upper, spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the material.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Outsole: Wipe the TPR outsole with a damp cloth as needed.
- Insole: The CloudBound™ insole can be lightly spot cleaned if necessary, but avoid saturation. As it is non-removable, deep cleaning is not advised.
