Women's canvas espadrilles, flat or wedge

Women's espadrilles combine a canvas upper with a braided rope sole: flat and flexible for the city, wedge-heeled for a bit of height, either plain or striped. Light and breathable, they keep your feet cool in hot weather. Some of the brands available include: Toms, Ilse Jacobsen, and Victoria.

Wedge espadrilles elongate the leg when paired with a summer dress, without the arched shape of a stiletto heel.

Flat or wedge espadrilles?

Flat, comfortable women's espadrilles can be worn all day with rolled-up jeans or shorts. Wedge espadrilles, with a higher jute sole, can dress up a dress or a midi skirt and remain stable thanks to their continuous sole.

How to wear espadrilles?

Pair them with a flowy dress or a women's linen trouser for a light summer outfit. Striped espadrilles give a nautical look; plain models go with everything.

Are espadrilles comfortable?

The soft canvas won't rub, and the jute absorbs some of the impact. For long walks, choose a cushioned insole; a very flat espadrille can be tiring on hard surfaces.

How to care for espadrilles?

Avoid getting the jute sole wet, as it can warp and get damaged. Clean the canvas with a sponge and mild soap, and protect it with a fabric water repellent.

Where do espadrilles come from?

Espadrilles are a traditional shoe from the Basque Country and Catalonia, featuring a woven jute sole. It has become the quintessential holiday shoe, from beaches to towns.
