Product Information

Full details

The TOMS Alpargata in Black is designed for adult females seeking comfortable and stylish everyday footwear. Its key benefit lies in its sustainable materials and versatile design, making it suitable for various casual occasions. A potential caveat is the non-removable insole, which may not suit those who require custom orthotics. This slipper/sandal features a heritage canvas upper made from a blend of jute and cotton, a TPR outsole for enhanced grip, and a CloudBound™ foam insole for day-long comfort and support. The elastic insert ensures easy wear, and the product is vegan-certified.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The TOMS Alpargata typically has a standard width. The elastic inserts offer some flexibility, but they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry the TOMS Alpargata, as this can damage the materials and affect the shape of the shoe. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the difference between Alpargata and Alpargata Low Shoes?

The Alpargata generally refers to the classic slip-on espadrille style, while 'Alpargata Low Shoes' might denote a similar silhouette with minor design variations, though both are part of the core Alpargata line.

How durable is the TPR outsole?

The injected TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) outsole is designed for durability and provides good traction for everyday casual use.

Is the insole removable for custom orthotics?

No, the CloudBound™ foam insole is non-removable. This means custom orthotics cannot be easily inserted without potentially altering the shoe's structure.

What does 'Vegan' mean for this product?

Being vegan means that the product contains no animal products or by-products. The materials used, including the canvas, jute, cotton, and adhesives, are all plant-based or synthetic.

How does purchasing these shoes support children?

TOMS has a long-standing 'One for One' model (though this may evolve) and is a Certified B Corp. Every purchase contributes to their efforts in supporting children's access to education, health, and well-being initiatives.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

The canvas material will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in. Ensure you have selected the correct size.

Discoloration or staining on canvas

Spot clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. For tougher stains, a specialized canvas cleaner might be necessary, used sparingly.

Slight odor after wear

Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoe overnight to absorb odors, then shake out before wearing.
