FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While comfortable for casual wear and moderate walking, they are not specifically designed for long-distance trekking. The flat heel and construction prioritize style and casual comfort over extensive support for prolonged, strenuous walking.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by TOMS and your UK foot size. These espadrilles are described as having a regular width.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material and cause discoloration. The jute midsole can also be affected by excessive moisture.
What is the 'deconstructed heel' feature?
A deconstructed heel means the back of the shoe is softer and more flexible, allowing you to easily fold it down and wear the shoe as a slip-on or slide, enhancing convenience.
How should I clean the jute wrap midsole?
The jute midsole should be cleaned with care. Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid soaking the jute material.
What does 'WEAR GOOD' mean in relation to TOMS?
'WEAR GOOD' refers to TOMS' commitment to using their business to improve people's lives. By purchasing TOMS, customers contribute to funding access to mental health resources for those in need.
Are these shoes available in other colors or materials?
The TOMS Santiago series is available in various colors and materials, including cotton and suede. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house with socks for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the color. Suede protector sprays can help prevent future water stains.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber sole provides traction, but if you experience slipperiness, ensure the sole is clean. For added grip on smooth surfaces, consider a rubber sole grip enhancer available at shoe repair shops.
