Full details
This guide is for adult women seeking comfortable and stylish slip-on footwear. The key benefit is the blend of casual style with all-day comfort thanks to the signature CloudBound Insole. A minor caveat is that while the heritage canvas is eco-conscious, it may require specific care. The TOMS Alpargata features an archival chambray textile upper with dot detailing, a durable RMAT outsole, and a custom CloudBound Insole for superior comfort. Its heritage canvas is made from 68% jute and 32% cotton, emphasizing sustainable materials. An elastic gore ensures easy on-and-off, and the injected TPR outsole provides enhanced grip. This vegan model supports educational initiatives for children with every purchase.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata features an elastic V gore for easy entry, which offers some flexibility. However, they are designed with a standard fit. Removing the CloudBound insole can provide a slightly roomier feel, but they may not be ideal for very wide feet without this adjustment.
How durable is the RMAT outsole?
The RMAT outsole is a premium rubber blend engineered for durability, providing good resistance to wear and tear for everyday use. Combined with the injected TPR outsole, it offers a balance of longevity and traction.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the injected TPR outsole offers some grip, these espadrilles are not waterproof. The heritage canvas and jute upper can absorb moisture and may be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I best care for the jute and cotton canvas?
Spot clean with a soft brush and a mild detergent mixed with cool water. Avoid soaking. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.
What does 'Vegan Friendly' mean for this product?
Vegan Friendly indicates that the product contains no animal products or by-products. This includes materials used in the upper, lining, insole, and outsole.
How often should I remove and clean the insole?
You can remove and clean the insole as needed, typically when they become soiled or to allow the shoes to air out. Ensure the insole is completely dry before placing it back into the shoe.
What is the benefit of the CloudBound Insole?
The CloudBound Insole is TOMS' custom foam insole designed to provide superior cushioning and support for all-day comfort. It helps to absorb impact during walking and standing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
The heritage canvas and jute materials are designed to stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially and allow them to break in. Ensure the correct size was purchased, as the removable insole can be taken out for a slightly roomier fit.
Cleaning the fabric leaves watermarks.
Use minimal water when spot cleaning and blot excess moisture immediately. A specialized canvas cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and cold water can help. Always air dry thoroughly.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The injected TPR outsole is designed for grip, but traction can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of debris. For added grip, consider using textured sole grips designed for footwear.
