Classic espadrilles are easily recognised by two special features. Espadrilles are lightweight slippers without a closure with a sole made of plant fibres. Hemp, flax or jute are the traditional materials for this. The name of the shoes comes from the original material used for the soles of the shoes, esparto grass, also known as steppe grass. The light shoes were actually the work shoes of farmers and fishermen before they were discovered for everyday use and as a fashion accessory. Industrially manufactured espadrilles often have an additional rubber sole under the plant fibre sole. As upper material linen or cotton are used. Espadrilles are suitable for warm and dry days. Rain and humidity from below, on the other hand, do not like the summer shoes. In addition, classic espadrilles have no footbed and are therefore only suitable for short distances. They can therefore be transported in a space-saving way in the suitcase and in the handbag.

The ESPADRIJ L’ORIGINALE Espadrilles are classic espadrilles with a rubber reinforced sole made of plant fibres and an upper made of cotton. Suitable for men and women alike, the Espadrilles have the typical flat heel and are available in sizes 36 to 46 and in various colours and colour combinations.

Espadrilles are not only popular companions on holiday on the beach. They can be combined with various leisure outfits and are now available in various shapes and designs. Espadrilles with wedge heels have been a popular variant of shoes since their invention by the French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, and they are often worn with light summer dresses. Espadrilles with a sporty outsole, a mix of bast and rubber or espadrilles made of leather or shimmering satin are just as available today as espadrilles with lace trimming. There are virtually no limits to the possible combinations. The Espadrilles with wedge heels and SimpleC lacing straps are now classic ladies Espadrilles. The approx. 7.5 cm high heel optically extends the leg. The sole and heel are made of jute and are equipped with a rubber outsole. The upper material is light linen. The white Espadrilles are available in sizes 35 to 41.

Espadrilles are always worn barefoot. The lightweight cotton or linen fabric absorbs moisture reliably and dries quickly. After wearing, the shoes should be ventilated in the fresh air to prevent unpleasant odours. Coarse dirt can easily be removed with a brush. Stains can be removed with a soft cloth and mild soapy water or shampoo. It should be avoided that the whole shoes get wet. The soles of the Espadrilles dry only very slowly. Leather espadrilles stay beautiful longer if they are regularly rubbed with a suitable care milk.

When buying espadrilles, make sure that the new shoes fit securely. The cotton or linen fabric can expand over time when worn so that the espadrilles sit very loosely on the feet. In addition, the Espadrilles should not have a footbed and the sole made of plant fibres only dampens very little. If you want or have to use additional insoles, you should take the soles with you to try them on and buy slightly larger shoes.
