Men’s Espadrilles

Soft and comfortable men's shoes, perfect for the spring-summer season - espadrilles are a real hit of recent seasons. Slightly more elegant than sandals, espadrilles will prove themselves during hot months, providing the highest comfort. They look very chic, which makes them fit to many outfits.

Where did espadrilles for men come from?

Although they conquered our fashion hearts relatively recently, the history of espadrilles is surprisingly long. This type of footwear could have been developed as early as a few thousand years ago, and the proof is a pair of shoes found during archaeological research in the Murcielagos cave. These lightweight, handmade shoes were introduced by the King of Aragon, who took a liking to their unique design. In Spain, they were made from natural materials such as flax and hemp. Worn by peasants and upper classes alike, espadrilles quickly became popular with men.

The 1960s were a turning point for these men's shoes. It was then that the brand Castaner presented its espadrille model. Yves Saint Laurent admired them, so they made their way to the catwalks. Today espadrilles are present in catalogs of such famous designers and fashion houses as Burberry, Kenzo or Jimmy Choo.

Men's espadrilles - types

By far the most popular are men's slip-on espadrilles. These are shoes with simple design, but at the same time elegant and stylish. They are made of pleasant to the touch cotton or nubuck fabric, which adjusts to the foot and allows it to breathe. This makes espadrilles indispensable for summer trips around town or while working in the office.

We also offer a variation on this type of footwear: espadrille sneakers. They can be styled like tennis shoes, but with espadrille characteristics, such as a braided sole and square toe. This type of sneakers can be easily styled in a sporty way. They are also suitable for bad weather.

Espadrilles for men can also be made of materials considered more elegant or exclusive. We are talking about suede and leather espadrilles. In this edition they work well at business meetings, worn with a shirt and a jacket. You can successfully wear them in early autumn and also in spring.
