Full details
The TOMS Alpargata Classic Low Shoes are designed for adults seeking comfortable, casual footwear with an easy slip-on design.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
TOMS shoes are designed to stretch and mold to your feet. Wear them for short periods initially, and they should loosen up. Avoid wearing thick socks during the break-in period.
Slight odor developing
Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert baking soda sachets inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are aired out after each use.
Stains on textile uppers
Attempt to spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, consult specific textile cleaning guides for similar materials.
