Whether you slide into a smoking slipper or rise above the street in a platform, the jute-soled espadrille remains a favorite herald of warm weather just as much as the first robin or the last snow storm. Go trendy and wear them with socks. Go traditional and keep your toes bare. We’ve paired six styles with partners to let you make the most of the season’s fun shoe.
Leather Lace-Up Espadrilles
A mini wedge lifts your height by 1. 5 inches while you enjoy the comfort and stability of this flat, round-toe, jute-soled shoe. We love it in ecru, but it comes in black as well. The detachable straps fasten at the ankle at the front and lace around the ankle. Zara suggests you buy one size smaller than your customary size.
