Full details
The TOMS Alpargata Ballet Flats are designed for women seeking everyday comfort with a touch of feminine elegance. Their key benefit is the blend of a classic, recognizable silhouette with the innovative CloudBound™ Rise insole for superior cushioning and support.

Troubleshooting
Flats feel slightly loose or roomy.
TOMS recommends taking a half size down for a more snug fit. If the fit is too loose, consider exchanging for a smaller size or using a thin insert for added snugness.
Foil detail appears dull or worn.
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously. The foil effect is delicate and may naturally show wear over time.
Insole needs cleaning.
Remove the insole and hand wash it with mild soap and cold water. Ensure it is completely dry before placing it back into the shoe.
Slight odor after prolonged wear.
Ensure the insoles are dry and aired out regularly. Washable insoles can be removed and cleaned as per care instructions. Using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays can also help.
