FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While the canvas is durable, we recommend spot cleaning. Machine washing can weaken the materials and the structural adhesive.
Are they suitable for wider feet?
The flexible canvas upper and elastic gore make these a good choice for various foot widths, as the material naturally contours to the foot.
Can these be worn without socks?
Yes, the interior canvas lining is designed to be comfortable against the skin, making them a great option for warm weather.
Do they provide enough support for all-day standing?
They offer standard comfort for casual daily wear, but for extensive hiking or rigorous athletic training, a dedicated sports shoe with more arch support is recommended.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the classic Alpargata design is suitable for all children.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels loose after some wear
The elastic gore can occasionally relax; adding a thin, supportive aftermarket insole can help restore a tighter fit.
Canvas has surface stains
Use a gentle fabric cleaner or a mix of water and mild soap with a soft-bristled brush to spot-clean the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-ons, there is no complex setup required. When choosing a size, note that the elastic gore is designed to stretch, so ensure the heel does not slip excessively during the initial fit. To keep the shoes in top condition, spot clean the canvas uppers with a mild detergent and a soft cloth as needed. Avoid putting them through a heavy-duty cycle in a washing machine, as this may compromise the shape and integrity of the glue bonds. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the fabric from shrinking or stiffening.
