FAQs
Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?

How high is the mini wedge?

Are these shoes made from real leather?
Yes, these shoes feature leather construction combined with eco-friendly components like recycled polyurethane and rubber.
Is the heel suitable for all-day walking?
Yes, the 6mm mini-wedge is specifically designed to provide comfort for all-day wear while offering a slight lift.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning and store in a cool, dry area to maintain the quality of the leather.
Do these shoes run true to size?
TOMS shoes generally run true to size, but we recommend consulting the specific UK size guide for your measurement to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Slight tightness across the instep
Leather typically relaxes with wear; consider wearing them for short intervals indoors with socks to help stretch the material gently.
Visible surface scuffs on the leather
Use a leather-safe conditioner or a soft cloth dampened with a mild leather cleaner to buff out surface-level marks.
The sole feels slippery on smooth surfaces
New TPR outsoles can sometimes have a factory finish; walking on concrete or rough surfaces for a short time will help improve traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these flats are a slip-on design, no mechanical setup is required. For longevity, it is recommended to store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the leather finish. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this may damage the leather or the integrity of the bonded materials. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the adhesive to weaken.
