Full details

Their key benefit lies in elevating both casual and formal summer outfits, offering all-day comfort. A potential caveat is that, as fashion espadrilles, they are best suited for dry conditions to maintain the raffia wedge and leather details.

FAQs
Are these espadrilles suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Carissa espadrilles are comfortable for everyday wear, especially during warmer months. The rubber sole provides durability, and the leather insole offers comfort. However, due to the raffia wedge, it's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to preserve their quality.
How should I clean the gold finish?
For the gold finish, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dust or light marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the metallic coating.
What type of outfits do these espadrilles best complement?
These gold espadrilles are highly versatile and complement a wide range of summer outfits, including sundresses, maxi dresses, skirts, tailored shorts, and linen trousers. They add a touch of sophistication to both casual and more dressed-up ensembles.
Do the espadrilles come in other colors or sizes?
The CASTANER SINCE 1927 Carissa espadrilles are available in various sizes and potentially other colors, depending on the season and retailer. Please check the product listing or other available variants for size and color options.
Is the slingback strap adjustable?
The slingback strap is elasticated for a secure and comfortable fit, but it is not individually adjustable. The elasticity is designed to provide flexibility and ease of wear.
Can I wear these espadrilles in the rain?
It is strongly advised not to wear these espadrilles in the rain. The raffia wedge heel can be damaged by moisture, and the leather components may also be affected. They are best suited for dry weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Elasticated strap feels too loose or too tight.
The elasticated slingback strap is designed to offer a secure yet flexible fit. If it feels consistently uncomfortable, ensure the shoe size is correct, as a different size might offer a better fit. As the elastic is integrated, no adjustments can be made to the strap itself.
Raffia wedge shows signs of wear or discoloration.
Raffia is a natural material and requires care. Avoid exposing the wedges to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for extended periods. If minor discoloration occurs, try gently wiping with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.
Leather insole feels stiff initially.
Leather insoles often require a short break-in period. Wear the espadrilles around the house for short durations to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them for extended periods until they feel comfortable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These espadrilles require no assembly. Upon receiving them, ensure the sizing is correct. The elasticated slingback strap provides a secure fit, and the espadrilles are ready to wear.
Compatibility:
The Carissa espadrilles are designed as women's footwear and are compatible with a wide range of summer clothing. They are ideal for occasions ranging from casual daywear to semi-formal summer events.
Care Instructions:
- Upper and Insole: Clean the leather upper and insole gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by conditioning.
- Raffia Wedge: Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If the raffia becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the raffia.
- Rubber Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
- Storage: Store the espadrilles in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag to protect them from dust and damage.
