FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata style generally has a medium width. The elastic gore offers some flexibility, but individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, these shoes are designed to be worn comfortably without socks. The earthwise lining and CloudBound insole are intended for direct foot contact.
What does 'earthwise' mean in the product description?
'Earthwise' signifies that the materials used are designed with environmental considerations, often including recycled or plant-based components.
How do I clean the blue striped fabric?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The outsole height is approximately 13mm (about 0.5 inches).
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the textile uppers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the warranty on TOMS shoes?
TOMS typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official TOMS website or contact customer service for the most current warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
TOMS Alpargatas often have a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, and the elastic gore and textile will adapt to your foot shape for a more comfortable fit.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on
Ensure your feet are dry. You can also gently pull on the heel tab if present. The elastic gore should provide sufficient stretch.
Fading of the striped pattern
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can cause colors to fade. Clean with cool water and mild soap.
Insole feels flat after extended use
The CloudBound foam provides cushioning, but it is not designed for the same longevity as a replaceable insole. For additional support, consider using a thin, non-custom orthotic insert if space allows, though the non-removable nature may limit options.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility:
The TOMS Alpargata Classic is designed for casual wear and is compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They pair well with jeans, shorts, casual dresses, and skirts.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Uppers: Spot clean the earthwise textile uppers with a mild soap and cool water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub away dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Cleaning the Insole: The insole can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Due to the non-removable nature, ensure no excess moisture penetrates the shoe.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with tissue paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Materials: The vegan materials and textile construction mean they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
