Espadrilles

Espadrilles are usually called summer flat-soled shoes made of lightweight material. This type of shoe is worn on bare feet without the use of socks.

Since these shoes did not require any effort in manufacturing, as well as any special financial costs, they became quite widespread among the lower strata of the population.

After some time, jute, a special type of plant suitable for making strong yarn, began to be actively used in the manufacture of espadrilles. Thanks to this durability, espadrilles soon became the favorite footwear of French miners.

In 1776, the Castaner company focused on the manufacture of espadrilles, and by 1960 this type of shoe took on the look that it still has today. By the way, it is worth mentioning that in the same year Yves Saint Laurent proposed the first model of espadrilles on a platform and wedge heel.

Translated from this significant language, the term espadrilles denotes the name of a particular type of herb. This grass is an elastic type of straw, which is actively used for the manufacture of ropes and some types of ropes.

It's not a secret for anyone that the foot needs to breathe and that wearing too tight and “stuffy” shoes in hot weather threatens.

Since about two hundred and fifty thousand sweat glands are concentrated on a person's feet, sweat secretion is simply inevitable. But, as you know, sweat does not have its own smell, it appears already on the surface, when interacting with bacteria that can accumulate in unventilated shoes.

It is in this situation that the advantage of espadrilles is most noticeable and relevant. Light tissue is well ventilated, so bacteria do not have time to accumulate, and sweating occurs at a much lower intensity.

It should be noted also the incredibly comfortable sole, which is quite plastic and flexible, therefore, when walking, it can adjust to the bend of the foot. If you have medical contraindications for wearing absolutely flat shoes, there is always the option of using orthopedic insoles with instep supports.

As already mentioned, the classic model has a flat, rather thin sole, decorated with a braided element. The upper part of the model is made of a thin material that allows the foot to "breathe".

The wedge model looks very unusual, as it looks more like shoes or sandals. The wedge is decorated with braided elements, which gives the model a lighter, summer look. The upper can also be made from any fabric.

In addition to wedges, espadrilles can have a platform that looks like a thicker sole. The platform can be straight, as well as curved and combined with a wedge heel, due to which the growth will appear visually a couple of centimeters higher, and the leg is slimmer.

Such a heel not only looks beautiful, but is also quite comfortable and stable, which will provide maximum comfort when walking, especially if you have a sudden walk.

This type of shoe is especially good for babies in the summer season, as the closed upper part protects the leg from dirt and dust, but at the same time it is easily ventilated and does not allow the leg to overheat.

A stylish summer look for a man can be created by combining a fabric model of espadrilles, a light plain T-shirt or cotton short-sleeved shirt, and light shorts that reach the knee or five to seven centimeters higher.

A jacket can be part of not only a business image, but also very well fit into a casual one, especially if it is a dense linen model in a cage or strip. Pants, jeans and shorts are suitable as the bottom of the outfit.

It is worth noting that men's models are made from the same fabrics, but are very limited in decor and prints, since most of the elements inherent in a woman's wardrobe are completely inappropriate for men.

Denim material is often used, which, although it is denser, is still quite lightweight and "breathable", due to which the shoe retains its ventilation properties. Plus, the denim model is more durable and will last much longer.

A model made of genuine leather, which is not only durable and functional, but also very beautiful in appearance, can "boast" of its high degree of wear resistance. Leather espadrilles can have a matte finish or a subtle glossy effect through varnishing.

In some cases, espadrilles are made of thin suede - the matte surface of the neat “slippers” looks very solid. And the velvet model, in turn, surprises modern women of fashion with the luxury of soft fabric.

Lace espadrilles look very unusual, which are also much lighter than any fabric model. The finest lace is quite durable and wear-resistant, since it is made of elastic fibers. In addition, in combination with graceful embroidery and small sequins, this model looks just incredible.

For example, yellow or orange espadrilles look very pretty, while a soft lemon shade looks so delicate that it will give any look more feminine.

Pink espadrilles, as well as models in various shades of this color, will delight absolutely any girl, since this particular shade is a favorite among the fragile representatives of the fairer sex.

Red shoes have long been popular all over the world, and models in darker, deeper shades look incredible. The burgundy hue goes well with dark clothes, and the ripe cherry espadrilles are a great choice for warm spring days.

In addition to bright colors, more restrained models of dark colors look quite interesting. Rock black, dark brown, navy and dark green espadrilles to create a more casual getup.

Very good and relevant for the summer heat, fabric espadrilles in light shades. White, cream, light beige, baked milk and champagne color models will suit any outfit in warm colors.

In addition to monochromatic models, espadrilles with prints are also popular. The most popular ones, of which are depicted in the form of large and small flowers, airy feathers, juicy oranges, as well as in the form of a classic stripe, "pea" print and the popular animal print.

But it is worthwhile to first study the range of espadrilles in order to know for sure which decor is the most relevant and appropriate.

Espadrilles embroidered with sequins look pretty smart, so they can be suitable for creating even an evening look, if of course you want to make it non-standard. Neat shiny "slippers" can become a worthy replacement for even the most luxurious heels.

Models with rhinestones enjoy incredible success.The stones that match the color of the espadrilles themselves look the most beautiful; it is in this version that they look like small neat drops of dew, which looks very unusual.

Small chains and large flails look pretty good on espadrilles, in the toe or heel area. In addition to chains, various metal emblems and stripes are also used, as well as small buckles, spikes and buttons.

Among the most popular decorative elements are embroidery, decor with large precious stones, colored lacing and various stripes depicting fruits, animals and cartoon characters.
