The espadrille is a natural and modest footwear that, precisely because of its simplicity, has triumphed all over the world. It is believed that it has its origin in a sandal used in ancient Egypt, and there is documentation with its current format and name that dates back to the Middle Ages, so when we put on espadrilles we are betting on a shoe with a lot of tradition and history . Luxury brands have also surrendered to their beauty and we can find versions signed by Chanel, Saint Laurent or Valentino.

The key to their comfort lies in the natural materials with which both the sole and the instep are made, so they do not give any heat and you will wear them all summer without problems.

What espadrille do I choose?

Lately the flat version has been joined by the platform version, which elevates a little more and makes you stylish, but either of these two versions will be fabulous with pants and shorts. You can also bet on the classic esparto wedge, which is one of the most comfortable high-heeled shoes that exist. The version with ribbons tied at the ankle is ideal with midi flared skirts, summer dresses and culottes.

In terms of styles and materials, we find more and more variety, since the classic strings or stripes are recently joined by other more special ones, with bohemian-style designs with fringes or tassels, more sophisticated with metallic fabrics and applications … and more cuts. special and risky, such as moccasin designs or even the espadrille boot.

The only drawback we found to the espadrille is that it is a staunch enemy of water. Avoid use on rainy days or near water in swimming pools and beaches. To keep them looking good, brush them often to prevent stains from forming and spray the inside with a spray or deodorizing powder so they don't get a bad smell.
