FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The elastic V-panel offers some flexibility, but the standard fit may not be ideal for very wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the canvas can withstand light moisture, these espadrilles are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain or wet environments, as it can damage the material and affect the insole.
What does '50% eco-part' in the insole mean?
It means that half of the insole material is made from environmentally conscious components, specifically 25% recycled polyurethane foam, 15% recycled rubber, and 10% organic oil.
How should I store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in a shoe box or dust bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
Is the insole removable for washing?
No, the insole is non-removable. Cleaning should be done by spot cleaning the exterior and carefully wiping the interior if necessary, allowing ample air drying time.
What is the main benefit of the polyester canvas?
Polyester canvas offers good durability and resistance to shrinking and stretching, contributing to the longevity of the shoe's appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
Canvas can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Avoid prolonged wear if discomfort persists.
Canvas material gets dirty.
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used carefully. Ensure to remove any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.

These espadrilles are designed for casual comfort. If additional support is needed, consider using a thin, flexible after-market insole designed for flat shoes, ensuring it does not compromise the fit.
