FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash them using a damp cloth. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity and the recycled materials.
Do these provide enough arch support?
These shoes offer moderate comfort for casual walking. For individuals needing specific orthotic support, you may find the insole limited, but the custom foam provides decent cushioning.
Are the materials truly vegan?
Yes, these shoes are 100% vegan, containing no animal-derived materials in the construction or the glues used.
Should I order my standard size?
The Alpargata series generally fits true to size, though the cotton upper will mold slightly to your foot shape over time.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The cotton upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent saturation and potential staining of the material.
Troubleshooting
Elastic V-panel feels too tight
The elastic will naturally loosen with minor wear; try wearing them for short periods indoors to break them in.
Footbed feels damp or develops odors
Remove the insoles if possible to air out, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to neutralize odors.
Surface stains on the cotton fabric
Gently blot the area with a mixture of mild detergent and cold water using a soft-bristled brush or cloth; do not scrub aggressively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your TOMS maintain their appearance, spot clean them using a cold, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the recycled cotton fibers and the integrity of the adhesive on the sole. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Given their slip-on nature, they are highly compatible with casual attire, including jeans, chinos, and summer dresses, making them a versatile staple for your wardrobe.
