Will's Vegan Store womens vegan Espadrilles Slingbacks Dark Blue

### Slingback espadrilles in dark blue A closed toe, an open back and a slim strap that comes round the heel: the slingback is the most quietly flattering shape in the espadrille family. The vamp cuts low and round across the foot, the sides are scooped away, and the elasticated strap sits close without gripping. From above it reads almost like a ballet flat. From the side, the exposed heel and the rope edge give it away. Expertly crafted in a family-run factory in Spain, these espadrilles are made using traditional construction. A wedge of coiled and braided jute rope forms the sole, stitched to the upper by hand in the Spanish method. The stitching is done in navy thread against the pale rope, creating a fine contrast line that runs the whole way round the shoe. Underneath, a thin TR (thermoplastic rubber) outsole is bonded on for grip where the rope meets the pavement. There's no shank, so the build stays soft and flexible and moves with your feet. The canvas upper is soft and tightly woven from 100% polyester. In this deep navy it pairs with the natural-coloured rope for a crisp, marine look that is unmistakably summer. Inside, a built-in cushioned footbed topped with soft vegan leather (100% PU) sits between your foot and the jute wedge, so there's padding underfoot where a traditional espadrille gives you none. The shoe is unlined, so the upper sits directly against your foot, light and breathable. Wear them with or without socks, whichever suits your style. You should find these comfy straight out of the box. Pair them with a printed dress, wide trousers, a skirt, or a striped tee and cropped jeans. They belong in warm weather on old streets, and they're the pair you can walk in all day and still look put together at dinner. - Slingback espadrille with round toe and elasticated heel strap - Slip-on closure - Hand-stitched traditional espadrille construction, made in Spain - Built-in cushioned footbed - Thin TR outsole for grip - Unlined, light and breathable - Not water-resistant: made for dry, warm-weather wear ### Composition - Upper: 100% polyester canvas - Footbed cover: vegan leather (100% PU) - Wedge: braided jute - Outsole: TR (thermoplastic rubber) ### Size - Order your usual size - Half size: with wider width fittings size up, with narrower width fittings size down - D width fitting: a slightly wider fit with more volume than standard - Heel height: 1.0 cm - Toe height: 1.0 cm ### Care Spot-clean the canvas upper with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let them air-dry away from direct heat. Keep the jute sole as dry as you can. Don't soak or machine-wash them, as heavy wetting can loosen the jute. Stuff with paper to hold their shape while drying, and store somewhere cool and dry between wears.
