Espadrilles: Unusually popular canvas shoes

Fashion Blog

02.07.2025

In the world of fashion, pieces occasionally emerge that transcend time and become a permanent part of the wardrobes of fashion enthusiasts. One of such iconic pieces is the footwear we know as espadrilles. They allegedly originated in the Pyrenees, even as far back as the 14th century. Since then, they have naturally undergone numerous modifications. Today, besides their basic unisex design, we also know women's espadrilles as sandals or shoes with a heel (usually a wedge).

Espadrilles are characterized by a sole entirely wrapped in jute rope. This classic footwear creation may also have lacing in the ankle area, especially when it comes to espadrille sandals. The overall design and combination of materials provide espadrilles with lightness, breathability, and a pleasantly natural appearance.

Key elements of espadrilles, such as the mentioned jute or hemp sole and jute wrapping, became characteristic features of this type of footwear in the early 20th century. During this period, espadrilles gained popularity in the Mediterranean region and later made their way into the fashion centers of Paris and Barcelona. Since then, espadrilles have become a symbol of summer comfort and style.

Today, espadrilles are an integral part of fashion, available in various variations and designs. Their original concept was inspired by traditional Spanish espadrilles, but modern versions are constantly innovating and adapting to current trends and the needs of wearers. Espadrilles are versatile and can be wonderfully combined with a wide range of clothing, making them popular accessories for summer outfits and elegant evening strolls.

Not only women's but also men's espadrilles are popular due to their practical slip-on style. They are a great item to pack for travels because they don't take up much space in your luggage. The reason is that the textile or leather upper easily compresses down to the sole, and when put back on, it evens out without any issues.
