In the world of footwear, there are many models to choose from: every season brands and stylists present the new collections to the market during the most important fashion week of the globe and, among the most widespread and worn during the summer, there are undoubtedly the espadrilles shoes and Mexican Huarache Sandals.
Commonly called espadrilles, this type of footwear has been on the market for many years without ever knowing sunset. Despite the alternation of fashions, espadrilles have known unhappy moments when they fell into oblivion, this type of footwear has never really gone out of fashion and cyclically returned to give us moments of authentic comfort.
Their history is truly fascinating and dates back to over two centuries ago when they were invented by fishermen from the Basque coast to the north of Spain. Already at the time they were the personification of light, comfortable shoes with a handmade texture, made mainly of canvas with a woven rope sole.
In a short time, espadrilles shoes and Mexican Huarache Sandals began to spread throughout the territory becoming the most worn footwear. But the real success of the espadrilles will only come in 1927 thanks to their first production company, owned by Luis Castañer and his cousin Tomas Serra.
The espadrilles will be worn by the likes of Salvador Dali and Grace Kelly, eventually conquering the whole world of footwear and arriving intact in their fascination to the present day.

Espadrilles shoes are one of the most worn shoes during the summer season thanks to their extreme lightness and comfort, so as to be the perfect alternative to sandals or light sneakers. There are obviously models of espadrilles for both women and men, reflecting their universal character and able to meet everyone’s style tastes.
Also the summer 2018 obviously sees espadrilles shoes conquer a place of honor in our wardrobe, next to flip-flops and low sandals, as a comfortable and light shoe, but at the same time from the innate casual chic spirit.
Espadrilles for women for the 2018 summer season are really varied: traditional with a low sole or more feminine with a little ‘heel, until you get to the wedge or double sole to give yourself precious inches in height, while maintaining comfort and l ‘allure of all time.
