FAQs
Are these espadrilles suitable for wide feet?
The round toe design offers some room, and the tie-fastening ankle strap allows for adjustability. However, fit can vary, so trying them on or checking customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet is recommended.
Can I wear these espadrilles in wet weather?
No, these espadrilles are not designed for wet weather. The suede and raffia materials can be damaged by moisture. The rubber outsole offers some protection against occasional splashes, but prolonged exposure to rain should be avoided.
How do I clean the braided raffia heel?
Gently wipe the raffia heel with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the material. Allow it to air dry completely.
What is the heel height of the Carina espadrilles?
The product description indicates a 'high wedge heel'. Specific measurements are not provided, but typical high wedge espadrilles range from 3 to 4 inches (approx. 7.5 to 10 cm).
Do these espadrilles come in other colors or materials?
Yes, the Castaner Carina series is known to be available in various colors and materials, including different shades of suede and leather. Please check the product listings for available variants.
What does 'SINCE 1927' on the product mean?
'SINCE 1927' refers to the founding year of the Castaner brand, indicating its long heritage in footwear manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap becomes loose during wear.
Ensure the knot is tied securely. If the suede laces are slippery, consider a double knot or a small, discreet lace lock if available and aesthetically acceptable.
Suede material appears dull or dirty.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently buff away surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a professional suede cleaner.
Raffia heel shows signs of wear.
Minor fraying can sometimes be carefully trimmed with small, sharp scissors. For significant damage, professional repair might be necessary.
Espadrilles feel slightly stiff initially.
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Walking on softer surfaces can also help break them in.
