Product Information
Full details
The TOMS Alpargata Low Shoes in Polka Dot Beige are designed for adult females seeking a comfortable, casual, and eco-conscious slip-on shoe. Their key benefit lies in the all-day comfort provided by custom CloudBound foam insoles, made with a significant portion of recycled and bio-based materials. A potential caveat is their non-removable insoles, which might not suit those who prefer to use custom orthotics.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata series generally offers a standard fit. The elastic gore provides some flexibility, but individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug.
Can I replace the insoles?
The CloudBound insoles are non-removable. While you cannot take them out, they are designed for enhanced comfort and support.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by TOMS or the retailer. Generally, a UK 4.5 is equivalent to a US women's 6.5.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are not waterproof. They are made from vegan materials and are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to water should be avoided.
What does '50% eco content' mean for the insoles?
It means that half of the material used in the CloudBound foam insoles is derived from sustainable sources, specifically 25% recycled PU foam, 15% recycled rubber, and 10% bio oil.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The CloudBound insoles and vegan materials will gradually mold to your feet.
Difficulty slipping shoes on.
Ensure your feet are dry. Use the elastic gore for leverage. If still difficult, a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe might help.
Scuff marks on the outsole.
For minor scuffs on the TPR outsole, try gently rubbing with a pencil eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap.
Discoloration due to water exposure.
If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry completely away from heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, as it can affect the materials.
