FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata Ballet features a standard width. While the canvas and jute can offer some flexibility, they are best suited for those with average or narrow foot widths.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping when you walk.
Can the insoles be replaced with custom orthotics?
Yes, the CloudBound™ Rise insoles are removable, allowing space for many standard custom orthotics. Ensure your orthotic fits comfortably within the shoe's base.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
With proper care and moderate wear, the TOMS Alpargata Ballet can last for several seasons. Lifespan depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions.
Are these shoes appropriate for wet weather?
While the canvas and jute are somewhat durable, these shoes are not waterproof. They are best worn in dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How does the 'Every purchase of TOMS supports children's education' initiative work?
TOMS partners with organizations dedicated to improving children's access to education globally. A portion of profits and specific campaigns contribute to these efforts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight upon first wear.
Canvas and jute materials often have a slight break-in period. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Avoid stretching them aggressively.
Insole needs cleaning.
Remove the CloudBound™ Rise insole and hand wash it with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
Canvas shows minor scuffs or marks.
Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away surface marks. For tougher stains, consult a specialized shoe cleaner for canvas materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
