FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
These espadrilles have a standard width. Given the soft nature of sheep and lambskin, they may offer some flexibility, but they are not specifically designed for wide feet.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is strongly advised not to wear these espadrilles in wet conditions. The sheep/lambskin can be damaged by water, and the jute sole is not waterproof.
How do I clean the jute sole?
The jute sole can be cleaned with a soft brush to remove dust. For stains, use a barely damp cloth and allow to air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.
What is the heel height?
These are flat espadrilles with a minimal heel, designed for comfort and ease of wear.
How should I store these espadrilles?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape, and in their original dust bag.
Is the YSL signature embossed or printed?
The YSL signature is embossed into the material, providing a textured and lasting detail.
What material is the pull-on tab made of?
The pull-on tab is typically made of grosgrain, a type of ribbon fabric, which adds a subtle textural contrast.
Troubleshooting
Material feels stiff initially
This is normal for premium leather. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Jute sole appears dirty
Use a soft brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Scuff marks on leather
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner for delicate skins may help. For deeper marks, consult a professional cobbler.
Espadrilles lose shape
Ensure proper storage with shoe trees when not in use. Avoid storing them in cramped spaces or under heavy items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Ideal for pairing with casual wear such as jeans, shorts, skirts, sundresses, and lightweight trousers. Not recommended for athletic activities or rough terrain.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For minor marks on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is not saturated. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Jute Midsole: Brush the jute with a soft brush to remove surface dirt. If soiled, a lightly damp cloth can be used sparingly.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Keep them in the original dust bag when not in use.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray suitable for sheepskin and lambskin, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid exposing the espadrilles to excessive moisture, rain, or prolonged contact with rough surfaces.
