Product description Perky Alpargata Chumbo
Monochrome, neutral, minimalist. That's exactly what the Perky Alpargata Chumbo espadrilles are. The grey color is original and matches any outfit, made from organic cotton and recycled PVC. The shoes are lightweight, easy to slip on, and will undoubtedly bring you much joy during your summer adventures.
Perky Alpargata Chumbo is a lightweight slip-on shoe inspired by classic alpargatas, focusing on clean design and maximum practicality for everyday use. The "Chumbo" shade (a darker, charcoal grey tone) appears modern, elegant, and unobtrusive – making it a great universal wardrobe staple. The shoes have a simple silhouette without unnecessary elements, so they look neat even with casual outfits. If you're looking for a model that's easy to combine, quick to slip on, and doesn't weigh down your foot, Alpargata Chumbo is exactly the type of "certainty" you'll reach for repeatedly. Its understated appearance makes it suitable for the city, work, and leisure time while not looking sporty – rather civil and stylish.
Usage
You'll most often use this model in dry weather from spring to autumn. It's ideal for everyday city walking, traveling, school, offices with a casual dress code, or quick errands where you'll appreciate the slip-on design. The Chumbo color works with almost everything: it pairs excellently with denim, black, white, beige, khaki, and even more vibrant colors that need "calming." It looks great with both skinny and straight jeans, chinos, and shorts. For maintaining a good appearance in the long term, I recommend regularly airing the shoes, alternating with another pair, and avoiding soaking. Remove common dirt with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth; always let the shoes dry naturally at room temperature (not on a heater) to maintain the material's shape and color.
Composition
Perky Alpargata Chumbo consists of an outer part in the chumbo shade, an inner lining for comfortable contact with the foot, an insole contributing to walking comfort, and a flexible sole that supports a natural step. The model is designed to be lightweight and pleasant even for all-day wear, which you'll appreciate especially when traveling or in a work pace. The exact material composition may vary according to the specific variant and production series, so please refer to the parameters listed on the e-shop product page and the information on the shoe's label. When choosing the size, it's important that the shoe fits well on the heel and doesn't pinch over the instep; proper fitting is key for comfort and stability in slip-on models.
Packaging
The shoes are delivered in protective packaging that protects them during transport and helps maintain their shape. After unpacking, I recommend briefly airing the shoes and trying them on at home on a clean surface to facilitate possible returns or exchanges without complications. For storage, a dry, ventilated place out of direct sunlight is ideal; prolonged exposure to sunlight can gradually change the material's shade. If you want to maintain the shoe's shape even off-season, fill them with paper or use shoe trees. When traveling, it's useful to store them in a textile shoe bag, which protects the upper from scuffs and separates the shoes from clothing in your luggage.
Additional Info
Perky Alpargata Chumbo is a great choice for anyone looking for a minimalist, universal pair of shoes without unnecessary maintenance and complicated styling. Thanks to the dark grey tone, they appear slightly more elegant than light summer variants, making them suitable even in situations where you want to look neat but still comfortable. If you want to increase resistance to dirt, you can use an impregnation suitable for the specific upper material type before the first wear (always according to the manufacturer's recommendations for both the impregnation and product information). For maximum comfort during longer walks, you might opt for a thin insole or gradually "break in" the shoes in shorter intervals. If you're searching for lightweight slip-on shoes for everyday wear in a color that won't go unnoticed and matches almost everything, Alpargata Chumbo is a very practical and stylish choice.

About the brand Perky
Perky is a Brazilian brand that was founded in 2011. Since the beginning of production, the main product is a South American espadrille called ALPARGATAS. You have never heard this term and would like to know more? Alpargatas are characterized above all by the way they are made. One of the three main components of each shoe is a durable PVC sole. The other indispensable part of the shoe is the hand-woven fabric that is gradually wrapped around the sole until the final shape of the shoe is created. At this point, all that is missing is the insertion of a soft cotton insole, which is completely removable and can be exchanged by the wearer for an orthotic insole. Add to this innovative shoe construction original imaginative designs and the South American espadrilles called alpargatas are born.
Since then, he has created a plethora of sneakers and alpargatas, all sewn on the same design principle that makes the shoe so incredibly light and comfortable. Last but not least, it's very important to mention that we put emphasis on good working conditions for all employees, which is also reflected in the footwear of all employees - they all wear Perks :)
And now it's time to bring the lightness and comfort of Perky to Europe.
