FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The TOMS Alpargata features an elastic gore panel that offers some flexibility, but they are generally designed for medium width feet. If you have very wide feet, they might feel snug.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

These shoes are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions. Exposure to excessive moisture may damage the materials.

How do I clean the polka dot pattern?

Spot clean the area gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing that could damage the print.

What is the benefit of the 50% eco content insoles?

The eco-content insoles contribute to sustainability by using recycled materials like PU foam and rubber, and bio oil, reducing reliance on virgin resources.

How durable is the injected TPR sole?

The injected TPR sole is designed for durability and provides good traction for everyday wear, offering a long-lasting base for the shoe.

What is the typical lifespan of these shoes?

With proper care and regular wear, the lifespan can vary. Following the care instructions will help maximize their durability and comfort.

Can I replace the insoles?

While the CloudBound foam insoles are integrated for comfort, they are not designed for easy user replacement. However, the shoe's construction allows for wear even without custom orthotics if needed, though this may affect comfort.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

The CloudBound foam insoles may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Shoe feels loose or too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elastic gore provides some flexibility, but the primary fit should be snug yet comfortable without pinching.

Soles losing traction

Check the sole for debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If significant wear is observed, consider replacement.
