FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
The espadrilles feature a softer midsole and cushioned insoles for comfort, making them suitable for moderate walking and daily activities. For very long distances or strenuous activities, shoes specifically designed for such purposes may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the rope platform?
Gently brush the rope wrap with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the rope, as this can affect its integrity.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes.
What is the approximate height of the platform?
The outsole height, which includes the platform, is approximately 1.5 inches.
How does the OrthoLite® Eco LT Hybrid™ insole contribute to the shoe?
These insoles provide lightweight cushioning and breathability, while also being eco-friendly, made with a significant percentage of recycled and bio-based materials.
What is TOMS' commitment mentioned in the description?
TOMS is committed to ethical business practices, working with suppliers who ensure safe working conditions and human rights compliance. They also dedicate profits to funding mental health resources.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the textile uppers and rope wrap are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their appearance and material integrity.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
The softer midsole is designed to break in. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Material scuffing or staining
For textile uppers, use a gentle spot cleaning method with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Insole discomfort
Ensure you have the correct size. The OrthoLite® insoles are designed for comfort, but individual foot anatomy can vary. Consider if a different size or width might be more suitable.
