FAQs
What makes these shoes eco-friendly?
These Alpargatas are part of the Earthwise™ collection, featuring uppers, linings, and insoles made from 50% recycled cotton. The custom comfort insole also includes recycled PU foam, recycled rubber, and bio-oil, reducing environmental impact.
How do I know if I need a wide fit?
TOMS Alpargatas are available in standard and wide widths. If you typically find standard-width shoes constricting, the wide-fit option is recommended for enhanced comfort.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the primary benefit of the custom comfort insole?
The 50% eco-content insole provides significant cushioning and support, designed to offer remarkable comfort throughout the day.
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
While they offer a timeless and chic design, they are best suited for casual to semi-formal occasions. They are not intended for highly formal events.
What does 'direct-injection TPR construction' mean for the outsole?
This method bonds the durable, flexible TPR outsole directly to the shoe's upper, creating a seamless fit that enhances durability and flexibility.
What is the TOMS '1/3 of profits' commitment?
TOMS commits to donating 1/3 of their profits to support grassroots equity-building organizations. This is a brand initiative that aligns with their social responsibility.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The recycled cotton may require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. If the tightness persists and you have chosen a wide fit, consider if a larger size is needed.
Slight discoloration or marks on fabric
Use a damp cloth for gentle spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this may affect the recycled cotton material.
Outsole feels stiff
The TPR outsole is designed for durability and flexibility. Wear will naturally soften the material over time. Ensure no debris is lodged in the sole's grooves.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Alpargatas:

- Insole: The eco-content insole can be gently spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
