FAQs

Are the insoles removable?

No, the CloudBound foam insoles are built into the shoe and are not designed to be removed.

Are these shoes suitable for hiking or sports?

These shoes are designed for casual everyday wear. They do not offer the support or traction required for hiking or athletic activities.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash the TOMS Alpargata Classic Loafer Flat, as this can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What does 'Earthwise' mean in the product description?

'Earthwise' signifies that the materials used in the uppers and lining are sourced with environmental considerations, aiming for a reduced ecological impact.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

TOMS shoes generally fit true to size. However, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, it's advisable to try them on. The elastic gore provides some flexibility.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the textile upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.

What is the heel height or outsole height?

The outsole height is approximately 13mm.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

TOMS Alpargatas often have a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size by trying them on or comparing with your usual footwear size.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The TPR outsole provides general traction. If you experience slipperiness on exceptionally smooth or wet surfaces, consider a spray-on sole grip enhancer designed for footwear, or use caution in such conditions.

Material appears to be fading or discolored.

Direct sunlight and excessive washing can cause fading. Store shoes away from direct sunlight and clean using the recommended spot-cleaning method with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The Alpargata Classic Loafer Flat is designed for general casual wear. They are compatible with most casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, dresses, and skirts. Due to their textile nature, they are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For light cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and scuffs from the textile upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  • Maintenance: The CloudBound insoles are designed for longevity, but for deep cleaning, a mild soap and water solution can be used on a cloth, followed by air drying. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
