MENS BLUE CANVAS ROPE SOLED ESPADRILLES EU42 UK8 BN

Low priced Traditional Spanish espadrilles .

Once considered peasant footwear, espadrilles have grown in popularity, especially in Catalonia and the Basque Country, where many men and women wear them during the spring and summer months

Often they would have laces at the throat that would be wrapped around the ankle to hold the shoes securely in place.

The term espadrille is French and comes from the Catalan name for a tough, wiry Mediterranean grass used in making rope. They've been made in Catalonia since the 14th century and there are Catalonian shops still in existence that have been making espadrilles for over a century

The soles of espadrilles are now commonly made with jute rope or braid, which is favoured because of its eco-friendliness compared to synthetic substances.
