Product Information
Full details
The Toms Alpargata espadrilles are designed for adults seeking comfortable, stylish, and versatile casual footwear. Their key benefit lies in their lightweight, breathable canvas construction perfect for warm weather, coupled with Toms' "One for One" commitment, donating a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair sold. A potential caveat is that the non-removable insole may not suit those who prefer custom orthotics. These espadrilles feature Earthwise textile uppers, an elastic gore for an easy fit, and a durable rubber sole for reliable grip.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata features an elastic gore for a flexible fit, which can accommodate some width. However, they are not specifically designed for wide feet. If you have very wide feet, trying them on first is recommended.
Can I wash these espadrilles in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Toms Alpargata espadrilles. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain their shape and materials.
What does the "One for One" program entail?
For every pair of Toms shoes sold, the company donates a pair of new shoes to a disadvantaged child. This initiative aims to provide essential footwear to children in need worldwide.
How much do the espadrilles weigh?
These espadrilles are designed to be lightweight. The exact weight can vary slightly by size, but they are known for their minimal feel on the foot.
Are the insoles removable?
No, the insoles in the Toms Alpargata are non-removable. They are constructed with eco-content materials for comfort and sustainability.
What materials are used in the construction?
The uppers are typically made from canvas or recycled cotton. The lining and footbed are also made from recycled cotton, and the insole contains 50% eco content, including recycled PU foam and rubber.
How does the sizing run for these espadrilles?
Toms Alpargata generally run true to size for most customers. However, it's always advisable to consult sizing charts or customer reviews for specific fit guidance, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
The canvas material is designed to stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements or by trying them on.
Insole is not comfortable for long wear.
The insole is non-removable and designed with eco-friendly materials. If you require additional cushioning or arch support, consider purchasing thin, compatible insoles designed to be placed on top of the existing one.
Canvas shows dirt or scuff marks.
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, use a soft brush with a mild detergent solution and allow to air dry.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
While the rubber sole offers grip, very smooth or wet surfaces may present reduced traction. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For increased grip, consider a rubber sole grip enhancer.
