Myths about Espadrilles

Espadrilles are only suitable for summer.

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

They are also ideal travel shoes for vacation. They shouldn't be packed away too far in the fall either, because they simply cannot be missing from your backpack or suitcase on a winter vacation in warmer countries!

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

Espadrilles fall apart immediately and stink when they get wet.

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

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