FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata Mule has a standard width fit. The elastic gore provides some flexibility, but they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the outsole offers some grip, the materials are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.
What is the primary benefit of the CloudBound foam insole?
The CloudBound foam insole is engineered to provide enhanced cushioning and support for all-day comfort, making the shoes suitable for extended wear.
How eco-friendly are these shoes?
The insoles are made with 30% eco content, including recycled polyurethane, bio-oil, and recycled rubber. The outsole also utilizes recycled materials in its blend.
Can I remove the insoles to wash them or insert my own?
No, the insoles are non-removable. They are permanently attached to the shoe structure.
What is the approximate height of the outsole?
The outsole height is approximately 25mm.
How do I care for the vegan materials?
For vegan materials, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the material's integrity and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them around the house for a short period; the materials may stretch slightly. If significantly too loose, consider if a different size is needed.
Insole is uncomfortable or not supportive enough.
While the insoles are non-removable, the CloudBound foam is designed for comfort. If additional support is needed, consider purchasing thin, after-market insoles that may fit inside, though this might affect the shoe's fit.
Material scuffing or discoloration.
For minor scuffs, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth. For discoloration, test a mild soap solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
Odor developing inside the shoe.
Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Tap out any excess before wearing.
