FAQs

Are these espadrilles suitable for rain?

No, the cotton upper and jute sole are not waterproof and should be kept dry. Exposure to rain can damage the materials and affect their shape.

How do I break in the espadrilles?

The soft cotton upper and cushioned insole generally make these espadrilles comfortable from the start. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.

Can I machine wash these espadrilles?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the jute sole, cotton upper, and internal cushioning.

What is the heel height?

The jute sole has a height of 5 cm.

Do these come in other colors?

This guide pertains to the 'Brown' variant. Please check other listings for availability in different colors.

How should I store them when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag or their original box, away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and material integrity.

What is the lining made of?

The lining is made of 100% sheepskin for added comfort and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Espadrilles feel tight

As the cotton upper is soft, they may loosen slightly with wear. If initially tight, try wearing them for short periods indoors to allow them to mold to your feet.

Discoloration on cotton upper

This could be due to watermarks or dirt. Spot clean with a lightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a specialist cleaner experienced with canvas footwear.

Jute sole shows wear

Jute is a natural material and will show signs of wear over time. For minor fraying, a small amount of fabric glue can be used carefully. Avoid rough terrains.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable for extended wear due to cushioned insole and cotton upper.
  • Secure fit provided by the adjustable ankle strap.
  • Versatile brown color complements various summer outfits.
  • Classic espadrille design with a modern twist.
  • Hand-stitched sole suggests good quality.

Cons

  • Cotton upper requires specific cleaning to avoid damage.
  • Jute sole may be less durable on abrasive surfaces compared to synthetic alternatives.
  • May not be suitable for very wide feet due to standard fit.
  • Requires careful drying away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These espadrilles require no assembly. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, the true-to-size fit makes them compatible with standard UK footwear sizing. They are best suited for casual and semi-casual occasions in warm weather.

Care Instructions:

  • General Cleaning: Brush off loose dust regularly with a dry brush.
  • Canvas Cleaning: Clean the cotton canvas upper with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid soaking the material.
  • Drying: After cleaning, remove excess moisture and allow the espadrilles to air dry completely. Ensure they are dried away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage and fading.
  • Sole Care: The jute sole is hand-stitched. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or abrasive surfaces. The rubber element on the sole provides some protection and grip.
