Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
TOMS Alpargatas often have a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, and they should stretch slightly to conform to your foot shape. If the fit remains uncomfortable, ensure you have selected the correct size and width.
Sole becoming detached
If the sole shows signs of detachment, it may be due to excessive wear or moisture exposure. For minor separations, a strong fabric adhesive might provide a temporary fix, but significant detachment may indicate the end of the shoe's usable life.
Discoloration or staining on the upper
Address stains immediately by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent stains, consult specific cleaning guides for canvas or textile shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
