FAQs
Are the Toms Alpargata Mules true to size?
Most users find them to fit true to size. However, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit, especially given the mule style.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, these shoes are not machine washable. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the recommended method for cleaning.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
The CloudBound insoles offer good cushioning for everyday wear and moderate walking. For very long distances or strenuous activities, they may not provide the same level of support as specialized walking shoes.
What does 'vegan materials' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of the shoe, including the upper, lining, and outsole components.
How thick is the outsole?
The outsole height is approximately 25mm.
Can I replace the insoles?
No, the insoles are custom-molded and non-removable.
What is the eco content in the CloudBound insoles?
The CloudBound insoles are made with 30% eco content, which includes 15% Recycled Polyurethane, 8% Bio-oil, and 7% Recycled rubber.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight initially.
The vegan materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Slight odor developing.
Allow the shoes to air out regularly. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then tap it out.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The RMAT outsole is designed for general use. For particularly slick surfaces, consider adding grip enhancers or exercising caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care:
