Women's espadrilles are classic summer staples and have become a firm fashion favourite over the last few years. The soles of espadrilles can either be flat or a wedge heel and are traditionally made out of rope, with a canvas upper. The name 'espadrille' is French and derives from the Catalan word for the wiry Mediterranean grass used to make the rope for the soles. Heeled women's espadrilles are beautifully stylish yet also extremely comfortable, thanks to the wedge sole. This distributes the pressure on your feet evenly, making women's espadrilles a great choice for a day's city sightseeing as well as a trip to the beach or evening meal. Espadrilles for women look equally as amazing paired with fashionable carrot jeans or a simple black maxi dress. This classic versatility means your women's espadrilles will still be welcome in your wardrobe for years to come. Espadrilles have come a long way since their original reputation as 'peasants shoes', and are now produced by every major fashion label and department store, including Zalando!
