Zappos.com, the online leader in apparel and footwear, announces espadrilles as a hot summer trend. Zappos.com has espadrilles for men, women and kids in a wide variety of colors and fabrics to coordinate with any summertime outfit.
Identified by the rope braid around the sole of the shoe, the flat espadrille hasn't changed much for in the hundreds of years since it originated as a traditional Catal fashion coats an peasant shoe. The rope sole is now typically jute, rather than the native Mediterranean esparto grass for which the shoes were named.
Men may coordinate a pair of more traditional loafers in canvas or leather with any summer outfit. These simple slip-on shoes can stand in for flip-flops and work well with cargo shorts, chinos or jeans.
Given the easy-on, easy-off nature of slip-on espadrilles, they make great shoes for kids. They provide more foot protection than flip-flops and the same summery simplicity, without the hassle of lace-up athletic shoes.
For women, espadrille-style shoes are available as comfortable flats, mid-height sandals, platform sandals and soaring wedge heels. The casual, unassuming look of an espadrille wedge makes a towering heel totally daytime appropriate. While a tall espadrille that straps or ties at the ankle ups the hotness factor for summer evening events, the wedge heel stays more seasonally appropriate and comfortable than a stiletto heel.
