FAQs
What is the heel height of the Castaner Carina espadrilles?
The Carina espadrilles feature a high wedge heel. Specific measurements can vary by model, but they are designed to provide significant elevation.
Are these espadrilles suitable for wide feet?
The espadrilles feature a tie-fastening ankle strap, which allows for some adjustment. However, the overall fit depends on the width of the main shoe body. It's recommended to check specific sizing guides or try them on if possible.
How do I clean the woven raffia part of the sole?
Gently brush away loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the raffia, as it can damage the material.
Can I wear these espadrilles in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these espadrilles in wet weather, as suede and raffia are sensitive to moisture and can be damaged or discolored.
What is the typical lifespan of these espadrilles?
With proper care and moderate wear, these high-quality espadrilles can last for several seasons. Regular maintenance is key to extending their lifespan.
Are there other color options available for the Carina model?
The Carina model is available in various colors and materials. Please check the product listing or Castaner's official range for available options.
Troubleshooting
Espadrilles feel stiff initially
This is normal for new leather and suede. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will soften with use.
Ankle strap loosening during wear
Ensure the strap is tied securely. You may need to re-tie it periodically. For a more permanent solution, consider a cobbler for alternative fastening options if preferred.
Suede losing its texture or color
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. Protect from harsh sunlight and moisture, which can affect color and texture. Consider a suede protector spray for added defense.
Raffia sole showing signs of wear
The rubber outsole provides protection. For significant wear on the raffia, consult a cobbler for potential repair or reinforcement.

Care Instructions:

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage. Ensure they maintain their shape, perhaps by using shoe trees if desired.
