FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Alpargata features an elastic gore for an easy fit, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes. If you have very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to assess the comfort.

Can I wear these without socks?

Yes, the Custom CloudBound foam insoles are designed for comfort and can be worn directly against the foot without socks for a casual feel.

What is the material of the insole?

The insoles are made from Custom CloudBound foam, providing cushioning and support for all-day comfort.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Heritage Canvas material is not waterproof. These shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions and should be kept away from heavy rain or submersion in water.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

The shoe should fit snugly but comfortably. The elastic gore helps secure the foot. Your heel should not slip excessively when walking. Refer to sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.

What does 'Alpargata' mean?

Alpargata refers to a traditional type of espadrille shoe, typically with a canvas or cotton upper and a flexible sole, originating from South America. TOMS has adapted this style for modern comfort and wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

The canvas material and elastic gore will stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. Avoid wearing them for extended periods until they feel comfortable.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The injected TPR outsole provides grip for everyday use. If you experience slipperiness on very smooth or wet surfaces, ensure the soles are clean and dry. For increased traction on specific surfaces, consider adding grip enhancers available at shoe repair shops.

Canvas material shows scuffs or stains

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for minor marks. For tougher stains, apply a mild soap and water solution with a cloth and gently scrub. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely comfortable for daily wear due to CloudBound foam insoles.
  • Lightweight and easy to slip on and off, perfect for a busy lifestyle.
  • Durable canvas material and TPR outsole offer good longevity for casual use.
  • The classic black color is highly versatile and complements many styles.
  • Environmentally conscious design aligns with sustainable fashion choices.

Cons

  • Not intended for athletic performance or high-impact activities.
  • Canvas material may require careful cleaning to maintain appearance.
  • Fit might be too relaxed for individuals needing significant arch support.
  • May not offer the same level of breathability as mesh or synthetic materials in very hot weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The TOMS Alpargata shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. No assembly or setup is required. Simply remove them from the packaging and put them on.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult men and are compatible with casual attire. They pair well with jeans, shorts, chinos, and casual dresses. They are not designed for formal wear or athletic activities.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Alpargatas:

  1. Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away marks. For more stubborn stains on the canvas, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  3. Insoles: The CloudBound foam insoles can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure they are dry before wearing.
  4. Outsole: The TPR outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
