Myths about Espadrilles

Espadrilles are only suitable for summer.

Nope! Espadrilles aren't just for summer! They're great as slippers because they're non-slip and easy to put on.

They are also ideal travel shoes for holidays. Even in autumn, they shouldn't be packed away too far, because they are simply indispensable in your backpack or suitcase for winter holidays in warmer countries!

Espadrilles break easily.

Cheap, simply made espadrilles may not last very long, but high-quality espadrilles, with a proper shoe sole, robust fabric and sophisticated details, can certainly last for years.

Espadrilles fall apart immediately and smell bad when they get wet.

Unfortunately, espadrilles with straw soles don't hold up very well to water and moisture. The straw sole falls apart and can start to smell. Espadrilles with a proper shoe sole don't have this problem and can even be washed in the washing machine.

Espadrilles are only for women.

While espadrilles are often associated with women's fashion, there are also many designs suitable for men. Traditional styles as well as more modern designs are available for both genders.

Espadrilles are old-fashioned and unfashionable; they already existed in the 70s/80s.

Fashion houses and designers regularly incorporate espadrilles into their collections, and people all over the world wear them as a comfortable and stylish option for warm days.
