FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata Classic features an easy-fit elastic gore which provides some flexibility. However, they are not specifically designed for wide feet and may feel snug on individuals with very wide feet. Checking customer reviews for insights on fit with wider feet might be helpful.
Can I remove the insoles to wash them?
No, the CloudBound foam insoles are non-removable. Cleaning should be done by spot cleaning the exterior and airing the shoes out.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the TOMS Alpargata Classic Loafer Flat is not waterproof. They are made from textile and vegan materials and are best suited for dry conditions.
What does 'vegan materials' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe, including the upper, lining, and outsole components.
How does the eco-content in the insole benefit the environment?
The insole uses 50% eco content, including recycled PU foam, recycled rubber, and bio oil. This reduces reliance on virgin petroleum-based materials and diverts waste from landfills.
What is the outsole height?
The outsole height is approximately 13mm.
Is this a slip-on shoe?
Yes, the Alpargata Classic is a slip-on design featuring easy-fit elastic gore for convenience.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The shoes may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle stretching by hand can also help.
Insoles feel flat or lack support over time
While designed for comfort, the cushioning may reduce with extensive use. Consider using a thin, thin cushioned sock liner if additional softness is desired, though custom orthotics cannot be inserted.
External fabric appears dirty
Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Blot the area dry and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Slight odor develops
Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoe and leave it overnight to absorb odors. Tap out any excess before wearing. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
