Product Information
Full details
The TOMS Alpargata Espadrilles from the earthwise collection are designed for active kids who need comfortable, everyday footwear that balances style with environmental consciousness. These shoes offer a lightweight feel and easy-on convenience thanks to their signature elastic gore, making them perfect for school or weekend play; however, as they are primarily made from cotton, they are best suited for dry weather conditions rather than heavy rain.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to spot-clean these shoes with a damp cloth. Machine washing may compromise the direct-injected TPR construction.
What does the earthwise collection mean?
The earthwise collection is TOMS' commitment to using more sustainable materials, such as recycled cotton and eco-content foam, to reduce environmental impact.
Are these suitable for rainy weather?
No, the cotton upper does not provide water resistance and can easily absorb moisture, making them best for dry conditions.
Do I need to tie these shoes?
No, these are slip-on shoes featuring an elastic gore for easy entry and a secure fit without the need for laces.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of durable TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) which is directly injected into the upper for a seamless and long-lasting bond.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top of the foot
The elastic gore may need to be stretched slightly by wearing the shoes for short periods; ensure the correct size was selected for the child's foot width.
Insole feels compressed after long-term wear
While the eco-insole is durable, consider replacing it with an aftermarket orthotic insole if additional arch support or cushioning is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box with no break-in period required due to the flexible cotton upper. Regarding compatibility, the sizing is standard for UK children's footwear, though it is always recommended to verify the specific size against a current foot measurement. To care for these shoes, avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the direct-injected sole. Instead, gently spot-clean the cotton upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if dirt or mud accumulates. Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from shrinking or warping.
