FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the textile upper is not waterproof and is best suited for dry conditions. They are designed for comfort and breathability, not protection against rain or significant moisture.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the removable insoles only. The textile upper and overall shoe structure are best cleaned by spot cleaning with a damp cloth to maintain their shape and material integrity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight, with enough room for your toes. The elastic gore provides some give. Refer to TOMS' sizing chart for accurate measurements, and consider the specific fit characteristics of the Alpargata Classic style.
What is the benefit of the CloudBound soles?
The CloudBound soles are designed to provide enhanced comfort, superior breathability, and reliable traction, making the shoes comfortable for extended wear and suitable for various surfaces.
Are the insoles made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the OrthoLite Eco LT hybrid insoles are made using lightweight cushioning derived from plant-based sources and recycled materials, contributing to the product's sustainability.
How often should I clean the insoles?
Clean the insoles as needed, especially if you notice any odor or visible dirt. Regular airing out of the shoes can also help maintain freshness between washes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
The elastic gore allows for some flexibility. For initial wear, try wearing them for short periods. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size for your foot shape. The removable insole can sometimes be replaced with a thinner or thicker one for minor adjustments.
Insoles smell after wear.
Remove the insoles and hand wash them with mild soap and cold water. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back into the shoes. Regular airing out of the shoes can also help.
Discoloration on the textile upper.
Spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
