FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Alpargata style generally has a medium width. The elastic gore provides some flexibility, but they may not be ideal for very wide feet.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

The canvas material is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.

What is the insole like?

The shoes feature a built-in cushioned insole designed for comfort during everyday wear.

How durable are these for active kids?

The canvas upper and construction are reasonably durable for typical play. However, excessive rough play or abrasive surfaces may cause wear over time.

What is the best way to clean the grey and brown canvas?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a dedicated canvas cleaner can be used, but test it on a small area first.

Are these machine washable?

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight initially

Difficulty removing the shoe

Ensure the elastic gore is fully stretched. If the foot is very sweaty, allow it to dry before attempting removal.

Canvas shows minor scuffs or stains

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.
