FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth rather than machine washing to preserve the life of the recycled materials and the rubber bonding.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Alpargata features a standard fit with an elastic gore, which offers some flexibility, but they are generally designed for standard foot shapes.
What does the Earthwise label mean?
The Earthwise collection identifies products designed with the planet in mind, using a higher percentage of recycled and eco-friendly materials.
Can the insoles be replaced?
The insoles are designed as an integrated part of the comfort system. They are not intended to be removed or replaced with orthotics.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the cotton construction is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is best to avoid wearing them in rain or wet, muddy conditions.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the instep
The elastic gore is designed to stretch; try wearing the shoes for short periods to allow the material and elastic to conform to the child's foot shape.
Insole feels slightly damp after a long day
Remove the insoles if possible or stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and store them in a well-ventilated area overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a slip-on shoe, there is no initial setup required. When choosing a size, note that these shoes are built to a standard fitting. To maintain the quality of the recycled cotton upper, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes fully in water, as this can affect the structural integrity of the natural fibers and the bonded sole. If the shoes become damp, air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the fabric from shrinking or the sole from warping.
