FAQs
Are these espadrilles true to size?
The Castañer Carol Espadrilles are generally considered true to size. However, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit, especially considering the natural materials.
How high is the wedge heel?
The wedge heel measures 5 cm (approximately 2 inches).
Can I wear these espadrilles in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these espadrilles in the rain. The natural jute and cotton materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture.
What is the lining made of?
The lining of the Castañer Carol Espadrille is made of 100% sheep leather.
How should I store my espadrilles when not in use?
Store your espadrilles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary, but the ankle strap allows for some adjustability. If you have very wide feet, trying them on or checking reviews specifically mentioning width might be helpful.
What is the best way to clean the jute sole?
Keep the jute sole as dry as possible. For any dust or light debris, a dry brush is usually effective. Avoid washing the jute directly.
Troubleshooting
Espadrilles feel stiff initially
Natural materials like jute and cotton can take a few wears to mold to your feet. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually.
Strap closure feels loose or tight
Adjust the ankle strap to your preferred tightness. If the strap is too long or short, consider if it is buckled correctly or if the size is appropriate.
Water stains on cotton upper
For minor water spots, try gently cleaning with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. For more significant staining, professional cleaning might be considered, but test a small area first.
Jute sole appears worn
Normal wear and tear on the jute sole is expected. For significant damage, consult a cobbler experienced with espadrilles, though repairability can be limited.
