FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the TOMS Alpargata Ballet is designed for casual wear and comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), which provides lightweight cushioning and flexibility.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the TOMS sizing chart for accurate measurements. These shoes are designed for a snug, comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash or spot clean as per the care instructions.
What is the key difference between these and standard Alpargatas?
The Alpargata Ballet features a shorter upper that covers only the toes, offering a more delicate, ballet-inspired look compared to the fuller coverage of traditional Alpargatas.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the textile upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
Textile shoes often have a break-in period. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to mold to your feet. Avoid wearing them outdoors until they feel comfortable.
Minor scuffs on the textile upper.
Gently rub the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Slipping issue.
Ensure your socks (if worn) are not too thin or slippery. For persistent slipping, consider using heel grips or insoles designed for shoes.
