Product Information

Full details

The TOMS Alpargata in Black is designed for adults seeking comfortable, casual footwear with a commitment to social responsibility. Its key benefit is versatile, everyday wearability combined with a sustainable material composition. A potential caveat is that the non-removable insole may not suit all foot types. This slip-on shoe features a heritage canvas upper made primarily from jute, a CloudBound™ foam insole for all-day comfort, and an injected TPR outsole for enhanced grip. Its vegan construction and TOMS' B Corp™ certification underscore its ethical and environmental considerations.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The TOMS Alpargata generally offers a medium width. While they can stretch slightly, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the TPR outsole offers grip, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

What is the primary benefit of the jute material?

Jute is a sustainable fiber that primarily grows with rainwater, requiring fewer resources. It contributes to the shoe's breathability and eco-friendly design.

How do I know if the size is right?

The Alpargata should fit snugly but comfortably. Your heel should not slip significantly. As they are made of canvas and jute, they will mold to your foot shape over time.

What does 'Vegan' mean for these shoes?

Vegan construction means that no animal products or by-products were used in the making of these shoes.

What does TOMS' B Corp™ certification signify?

B Corp™ certification signifies that TOMS meets rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency, balancing profit and purpose.

How long does the CloudBound™ foam insole last?

The CloudBound™ foam insole is designed for durability and comfort throughout the lifespan of the shoe. Its longevity depends on usage frequency and care.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

The TOMS Alpargata is designed to fit snugly at first and then stretch slightly with wear. If initially too tight, wear them around the house for short periods. If too loose, consider thicker socks or an insole insert (if compatible with your desired fit).

Canvas material appears dirty or stained.

Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated canvas cleaner, but always test on a small, hidden area first. Ensure to air dry thoroughly.

Elastic insert feels stretched.

The elastic is designed for flexibility. If it feels excessively stretched after prolonged use, it may indicate significant wear. There is no direct fix for worn elastic, but proper care can prolong its elasticity.
