FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The TOMS Alpargata Classic generally offers a relaxed fit, but they are not specifically designed for wide feet. If you have significantly wide feet, trying them on before purchasing is recommended.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The cotton upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in rain or wet conditions.
What is the best way to clean the grey cotton?
For general cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Blot gently and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The TOMS Alpargata Classic provides basic cushioning but does not offer significant arch support. Individuals requiring substantial arch support may consider using aftermarket insoles.
How durable are the soles?
The soles are designed for casual wear and offer moderate durability. They are not intended for rigorous activities or rough surfaces.
What is the difference between Alpargata and Alpargata Classic?
The 'Alpargata Classic' typically refers to the foundational, original design of the TOMS espadrille, emphasizing the core features of comfort and classic style. 'Alpargata' can sometimes refer to variations or updates within the line.
What UK size is equivalent to a US size 9?
Generally, a US women's size 9 is equivalent to a UK size 7, and a US men's size 9 is equivalent to a UK size 8. Please refer to the specific TOMS size chart for accurate conversions as sizing can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the cotton to stretch and mold to your foot. Avoid wearing them outdoors until they feel comfortable.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
This is common with new espadrille-style soles. Light wear on various surfaces will help break them in. Consider a rubber sole protector if persistent slippage is an issue.
Discoloration from water or dirt
Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized cotton cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Material feels stiff
This is typical for new cotton uppers. Consistent wear will soften the material. You can also gently flex the shoes by hand to help loosen them up.
