FAQs
Are the TOMS Alpargata shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the safest way to maintain their shape and durability.
Are these shoes suitable for arch support?
These shoes are designed for casual comfort rather than orthopedic support. They have a relatively flat footbed.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
While often worn without socks for a relaxed feel, you can wear low-profile 'no-show' socks if you prefer extra moisture absorption.
Will the blue color fade?
Like most cotton textiles, prolonged exposure to intense, direct sunlight can cause some fading. Keep them in a shaded area when not in use.
Are these shoes true to size?
The TOMS Alpargata series generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them snug initially.
Can I wear these for light walking?
Yes, they are perfectly comfortable for light, casual walking on flat, urban surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a few hours of wear
Cotton fibers can expand slightly; try wearing thinner socks or allow the material to break in over a few days.
Surface dirt or stains on the fabric
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with a mild detergent to gently dab the stained area.
Insole comfort decreases over time
Consider adding a thin, third-party comfort insole if you require more cushioning for extended standing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best out of your TOMS Alpargata, ensure you are wearing the correct size; the UK 4.5 size is tailored for a standard adult fit. Because the upper is made of cotton, it is recommended to keep them dry to maintain their color and integrity. If the shoes become dirty, spot-clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting them in a washing machine, as excessive soaking can damage the materials and structure. Let them air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue color to fade over time.
