FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
We recommend spot cleaning only to preserve the recycled cotton and the eco-content insole.
What does 'Earthwise' mean?
Earthwise is the TOMS collection designed with the planet in mind, using recycled, organic, or sustainably sourced materials.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The elastic gore allows for a flexible fit, but as with all slip-ons, ensure you select the appropriate UK size for your child's growth.
Can these be worn without socks?
Yes, the breathable cotton lining and eco-comfort insole are designed to be comfortable even when worn barefoot.
Are the materials truly recycled?
Yes, the shoe incorporates recycled cotton, recycled PU foam, and recycled rubber to minimize environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Elastic gore feels tight
The elastic will naturally loosen slightly after a few wears. Ensure the foot is fully inserted to allow the material to flex.
Surface stains on the cotton fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with gentle detergent to spot clean. Do not submerge the shoes completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes arrive ready to wear, no setup is required. To maintain your TOMS Earthwise Espadrilles:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the cotton upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid machine washing to prevent shrinkage or damage to the eco-insole.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use. Prolonged direct sunlight may fade the grey fabric over time.
- Fit: Ensure the elastic gore is not overly stretched during daily use to maintain its tension over the life of the shoe. These are designed for standard child foot shapes with an easy-entry slip-on fit.
