FAQs

What type of occasions are these espadrilles best suited for?

The Castaner Carina espadrilles are ideal for a range of warm-weather occasions, including casual outings, beach strolls, garden parties, daytime events, and sophisticated gatherings. Their design offers versatility for both relaxed and more dressed-up settings.

How do I ensure the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or consult Castaner's official sizing guide. These espadrilles feature a round toe and a tie-fastening ankle strap, which can accommodate minor variations in fit. If you are between sizes, consider your foot width and the desired fit.

Can I wear these espadrilles in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede and raffia espadrilles in wet conditions. Moisture can damage the suede and affect the integrity of the woven raffia. The rubber outsole offers some protection, but the upper materials are not waterproof.

How should I store my Carina espadrilles?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a dust bag or original shoebox can help protect them from dust and prevent the raffia heel from being snagged.

Is the suede material difficult to maintain?

Suede requires specific care but is manageable. Regular brushing with a suede brush and prompt treatment of spills with appropriate cleaners will help maintain their appearance. Avoiding excessive moisture is key.

What is the heel height of the Carina espadrilles?

The product description mentions a 'braided raffia high wedge heel'. Specific measurements can vary slightly by model, but typically espadrille wedges offer a significant, comfortable elevation.

Troubleshooting

Espadrilles feel stiff initially.

Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the materials to soften and mold to your feet. Avoid wearing them on rough surfaces until they are more comfortable.

Suede shows water spots or stains.

Allow the footwear to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions.

Ankle strap comes undone frequently.

Ensure the strap is tied securely with a double knot. If the material is very smooth, consider a different knotting technique or use a discreet fabric adhesive dot on the inside of the knot for added security.

Raffia heel appears worn or snagged.

Gently trim any loose raffia fibers with small, sharp scissors. Avoid rubbing the heel against abrasive surfaces. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.
