Espadrilles

Women’s espadrilles have long been a trendy shoe choice, but their popularity has recently exploded, making them the number one spring and summer footwear choice for women everywhere. Originally from the European Pyrenées, espadrilles shoes have certain design features that make them stand out amongst the other spring and summer shoe styles on the shelves. Made with cotton fabric or canvas materials, women’s espadrilles are typically designed with soles that are made of rubber, and they usually have rope accents around the sole. They are very flexible, making them a comfortable shoe choice for wearing to the beach or for errands around town. Espadrilles are named after a derivative of a word that means a type of Mediterranean grass that is used to make rope. This French term was given to the style of shoe to represent the rope-like features it is made with, and women all over the world wear these shoes today with both vintage and modern fashions. Made with a variety of rope materials, the espadrilles we wear today come in a variety of styles, including wedge, heel, flat, and platform styles. Depending on the season and the purpose of the shoe, espadrilles styles may have open toe, closed toe, or open or closed back designs. Some also have sling-back designs or are made with high stiletto heels. The most popular espadrilles trends today are platform styles with peep toes and sandal styles with chunky wedges. If you love wedge and platform shoes and you want a style that blends beautifully with your spring and summer attire, opt for any of these espadrilles for a modern look with old European flair. Espadrilles are comfortable, charming, and super feminine, with unique looks that are sure to make a fashion statement.
