Product Information
Full details
The TOMS Alpargata Rope in Floral Black is designed for women seeking comfortable, stylish, and casual footwear with a touch of seasonal flair. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a lightweight, all-day comfortable CloudBound™ sole and a unique floral crochet upper, offering both ease of wear and a distinctive look. A potential caveat is the textile nature of the upper, which may require careful cleaning to maintain its appearance. This shoe features a jute-wrapped midsole, an elastic V-insert for easy on-and-off, and a removable insole for a customizable fit.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata Rope features an elastic V-insert which provides some flexibility. However, they are designed with a standard width. If you typically require wide-fit shoes, these may feel snug.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the crochet upper and jute midsole. Hand wash or spot clean only.
What is the purpose of the jute-wrapped midsole?
The jute-wrapped midsole is a stylistic element that gives the shoe an espadrille-like appearance. It also contributes to the shoe's overall structure and a natural aesthetic.
How thick is the CloudBound™ sole?
The outsole height is approximately 2.5 cm. The CloudBound™ sole technology is integrated within this to provide cushioning and comfort.
Is the 'Floral Black' colorway suitable for all seasons?
While the floral pattern evokes a spring/summer feel, the black base color makes them versatile enough to be worn in cooler months with appropriate outfits. However, the textile and jute materials are best suited for dry weather.
What does 'B Corp™ certified' mean for TOMS?
Being B Corp™ certified means TOMS meets high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. This signifies their commitment to ethical business practices.
How does my purchase support children's education?
TOMS has a long-standing commitment where every purchase supports children's education, health, and well-being. They provide resources and programs aimed at giving children a better future.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff initially.
TOMS shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and the materials will soften and conform to your foot shape.
Insole is shifting during wear.
Ensure the insole is placed correctly and is fully dry. If it continues to shift, consider using a small amount of double-sided tape under the insole or exploring alternative insoles.
Discoloration on the floral crochet upper.
Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Jute midsole seems damp.
The jute midsole is not waterproof. Allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
