Full details

Its key benefit lies in the combination of a washed cotton upper and a 5 cm jute wedge, offering a blend of relaxed style and all-day wearability.

This model features a classic espadrille design with a modern twist, including an ankle strap closure and a cushioned insole.

FAQs

Are these espadrilles true to size?

Yes, the Castañer Carol espadrilles are designed to fit true to size, meaning they should fit as you would expect based on your standard shoe size.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is a 5 cm jute wedge.

Can I wear these espadrilles in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these espadrilles in wet weather, as the jute sole can be damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry, warm conditions.

What materials are the espadrilles made from?

The upper is made of 100% cotton, the lining is 100% sheepskin leather, and the sole is a combination of jute and rubber.

How should I clean the cotton upper?

Clean the cotton canvas with a damp cloth or sponge. Brush off dust regularly and air dry away from direct sunlight.

Is the ankle strap adjustable?

Yes, the ankle strap closure allows for adjustment to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.

Are these suitable for long periods of standing or walking?

The cushioned insole and moderate wedge height offer comfort for extended wear, making them suitable for casual walking and standing for reasonable durations.

Troubleshooting

Espadrilles feel slightly stiff on first wear.

This is common with new cotton footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. The cotton will soften with wear.

Minor scuff marks on the cotton upper.

Gently clean the affected area with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.

Ankle strap feels uncomfortable or rubs.

Adjust the strap to find a more comfortable position. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe's overall fit is correct. Ensure the strap is not buckled too tightly.

Jute sole appears dirty.

Use a dry brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used very carefully, ensuring not to saturate the jute. Allow to air dry thoroughly.
