Product Information
Full details
This guide is for women seeking elegant yet comfortable everyday footwear. The TOMS Alpargata Ballet offers a sophisticated ballet flat design inspired by the classic Alpargata, providing easy style and signature comfort. A potential consideration is that while the materials are natural and recycled, the overall durability for strenuous activities might be limited compared to more rugged footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata Ballet generally offers a standard fit. If you have wider feet, you might find them snug initially. Wearing them for short periods will help them stretch slightly, but they are not specifically designed for wide widths.
How do I clean the jute and cotton upper?
Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking, as this can damage the natural fibers. Always air dry.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These shoes are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions. The jute and cotton materials can be damaged by excessive moisture.
What is the benefit of the CloudBound™ Rise insole?
The CloudBound™ Rise insole is designed with a slight incline to encourage better foot alignment and natural posture, while providing memory foam cushioning for comfort.
Are these shoes truly vegan?
Yes, the Alpargata Ballet is made with vegan materials.
How often should I wash the insole?
The insole can be washed as needed when it appears dirty or loses freshness. Ensure it is completely dry before placing it back into the shoe.
What does 'B Corp™ certified' mean for TOMS?
Being B Corp™ certified means TOMS meets high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency, signifying a commitment to using business as a force for good.
Troubleshooting
Insole feels uncomfortable or misaligned.
Ensure the CloudBound™ Rise insole is correctly positioned within the shoe. If discomfort persists, try wearing the shoes for short periods to allow your feet to adjust to the incline. The insole is removable; if preferred, a different thin insole could be used, though this may affect the intended posture support.
Canvas upper looks dirty or stained.
Spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Gently rub the stain, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove residue. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
Shoes feel slightly stiff upon first wear.
This is normal for new shoes, especially those made with natural canvas. Wear them around the house for a few hours each day to help them mold to your feet. The materials will soften with wear.

Care Instructions:

- Upper: For the jute and cotton canvas upper, spot clean using a damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid soaking the material. For stubborn stains, a soft brush can be used gently.
- Outsole: Wipe the EVA outsole with a damp cloth to clean.
- General: It is recommended to avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and construction. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
