Product Information
Full details
The TOMS Alpargata Classic Loafer Flat is designed for adults seeking comfortable, easy-to-wear casual footwear with a conscious approach to materials. Its key benefit is the all-day comfort provided by CloudBound foam insoles and a slip-on design with elastic gore, while a potential caveat is the non-removeable insole, which might limit customization for some users. This shoe features earthwise textile uppers and lining, vegan materials, and a durable TPR outsole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata Classic Loafer Flat is designed with a standard width. The elastic gore offers some flexibility, but individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Consider trying them on if possible.
Can I remove the insoles to add my own?
No, the CloudBound foam insoles are non-removeable.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The earthwise textile uppers are not waterproof. These shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions and are not recommended for heavy rain.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not uncomfortable on your first wear. The elastic gore will provide a secure fit. Ensure there is minimal heel slippage and no pinching.
What is the outsole height?
The outsole height is approximately 13mm.
What does 'Earthwise' mean in the product description?
'Earthwise' indicates that the materials used in the uppers and lining are sourced with environmental considerations in mind, aiming for a more sustainable production process.
Are there other colors or patterns available in this style?
Yes, the TOMS Alpargata series comes in a variety of colors and patterns. You can explore sibling products for different options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and they should stretch slightly to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Slight odor developing inside the shoe.
Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake out in the morning. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Allow shoes to air out between wears.
Tread seems to be wearing down quickly.
This can occur with frequent use on abrasive surfaces. Rotate your footwear if possible to distribute wear. Consider a professional shoe repair for resoling if significant wear occurs.
Discoloration on the textile upper.
Spot clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution, using a soft cloth. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
