Product Information
Full details
The TOMS Alpargata Oxford Flat in Grey Heritage Canvas is designed for adults seeking comfortable, everyday footwear with a commitment to sustainability. Its key benefit lies in its versatile style and ease of wear, thanks to the elastic gore. A minor caveat is the non-removable insole, which may limit custom orthotic use. This shoe features Earthwise textile uppers made from recycled cotton, a recycled cotton lining, and a footbed with significant eco-content, all contributing to a lighter environmental footprint.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata Oxford Flat has a standard width. The elastic gore does provide some flexibility, but they may not be ideal for very wide feet.
Can I remove the insole to add my own orthotics?
No, the insole is permanently attached and cannot be removed. If you require significant orthotic support, these shoes may not be the best fit.
How do I wash these shoes?
These shoes are not machine washable. We recommend spot cleaning the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air drying them away from heat.
What does 'Earthwise' mean?
Earthwise refers to TOMS' commitment to using more sustainable materials, such as recycled cotton and other eco-conscious components, in their footwear.
Are these waterproof?
The heritage canvas material is not waterproof. While a fabric protector can offer some resistance, they are best worn in dry conditions.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them.
What is the outsole height?
The outsole height is approximately 1/2 inch.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel a bit snug initially.
The canvas material will naturally stretch and mold to your foot with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in.
Slight discoloration or marks on canvas.
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a mixture of baking soda and water can sometimes help, but always test on a small area first.
Odor inside the shoe.
Ensure the shoes are completely dry. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Air them out regularly.

Care Instructions:
