FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata features a classic fit with elastic gore, which offers some flexibility. However, they are not specifically designed for wide feet. Trying them on or checking customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet is recommended.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash TOMS Alpargatas, as this can damage the materials, especially the insoles and glue. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the main benefit of the CloudBound foam insoles?
The CloudBound foam insoles are designed to provide exceptional cushioning and support, enhancing the overall comfort of the shoes for extended wear.
How do the eco-conscious materials contribute to sustainability?
The use of Earthwise sustainable lining and other recycled or environmentally responsible materials helps reduce the environmental impact of production, aligning with eco-conscious lifestyles.
Are these shoes good for walking long distances?
While comfortable for daily activities and moderate walking, the Alpargatas are not designed as specialized walking shoes. For very long distances or strenuous walking, shoes with more robust support and cushioning might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The elastic gore on the sides helps provide a flexible fit. The shoe should feel snug but not tight. Your heel should stay in place without slipping when you walk.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
The cotton canvas and elastic gore will stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in.
Canvas getting dirty easily.
Use a protective spray suitable for canvas materials. For cleaning, use a damp cloth or a specialized canvas cleaner, and always air dry.
Slightly loose fit.
If the elastic gore feels too loose, you can try inserting a thin insole for a snugger fit. For significant looseness, consider professional alteration if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These low shoes are designed for adult females and are compatible with most casual outfits. They pair well with jeans, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Alpargatas:
- Cleaning Canvas: For light dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the canvas. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Insoles: If the insoles become soiled, they can often be spot-cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Allow them to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can damage the materials and shape.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains, consider using a specialized canvas cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
