FAQs
How do I wear the fold-down heel?
You can wear the Alonso loafer as a traditional shoe by keeping the heel up, or fold it down to create a backless mule or slide-style shoe for easier on-and-off wear and a more relaxed look.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The elastic V-insert provides some flexibility for easier entry. The removable insole allows for a bit more room if taken out. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on first if possible.
Can I machine wash these loafers?
No, these loafers should not be machine washed. The suede, canvas, and jute materials require specific care. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods.
What is the CloudBound™ sole?
CloudBound™ is TOMS' signature foam sole technology designed to provide superior cushioning and comfort for all-day wear. The insole is also removable.
How does my purchase support children?
TOMS operates with a 'buy-one-give-one' or similar impact model, where each purchase contributes to programs that support education, health, and well-being for children in need.
What does B Corp™ certified mean?
Being B Corp™ certified signifies that TOMS meets high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency, balancing profit and purpose.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
It is best to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
The removable insole can be taken out for a slightly roomier fit. If they remain uncomfortable, consider trying a different size. Ensure the elastic V-insert is not obstructed.
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a dedicated suede eraser for dry stains. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution can be used, but test on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry fully. Follow up with a suede brush.
Jute midsole seems dirty
Gently wipe the jute with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture as it can damage the jute material.
Fold-down heel does not stay flat
Ensure the heel is intentionally folded down by applying gentle pressure. The design is intended to be flexible; if it consistently springs back up, check for any obstructions or potential material wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Toms Alonso Loafer Rope requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: These loafers are designed for adult males and are suitable for a wide range of casual outfits. They pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, and linen trousers.
Care:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and debris. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede.
- Cleaning Canvas: For the Heritage canvas, spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Outsole and Midsole: Wipe the rubber outsole and jute midsole with a damp cloth as needed. Ensure the jute midsole is not saturated.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
