FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata Rope 2.0 features an elastic V-insert for an easy fit. While they are not specifically designed for wide feet, the flexible nature of the upper and the ability of cotton to stretch slightly can accommodate some wider fits. The removable insole also provides a bit of extra room if needed.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The best way to ensure a proper fit is to measure your foot and compare it to the TOMS size chart. Try them on indoors to test the fit. They should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight, with a little room in the toe box.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides some grip, the upper is made of cotton and the midsole is wrapped in jute, neither of which are waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or very wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.
What does B Corp™ certified mean?
B Corp™ certification signifies that a company meets high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. TOMS is proud to be B Corp™ certified for its commitment to positive social and environmental impact.
How often should I clean my Alpargata Rope 2.0 shoes?
Clean your shoes as needed, based on wear and visible dirt. For general maintenance, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid washing them regularly unless they are significantly soiled.
Are the insoles truly removable?
Yes, the CloudBound™ insoles are designed to be removable. This allows for easier cleaning, airing out, or replacement with custom orthotics for a personalized fit.
What is the environmental benefit of using recycled cotton?
Using recycled cotton helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. It also conserves water and energy compared to producing virgin cotton, contributing to a more sustainable textile industry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The elastic V-insert allows for some give. Wear the shoes for a few hours to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed, as the recycled cotton can mold to your foot over time.
Discoloration on the jute midsole
Jute can be sensitive to moisture. If discolored, try gently wiping with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
Reduced cushioning over time
The CloudBound™ sole is designed for durability. If cushioning significantly decreases, the removable insole can be replaced with a new one for added comfort.
Slipping occurs on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for traction, very smooth or wet surfaces can reduce grip. Check for wear on the outsole pattern.
