Peep Toe Espadrilles by David Tate
These sandals can now be found created by top designers including Donna Karan, Pare Gabia etc.
Here in Barcelona it’s a very popular summer shoe for women.
Each strap is gored for a refreshing fit that more women enjoy.
Usually, they have a cotton fabric upper and a flexible sole made of rope like material molded.
The jute rope sole can be a defining characteristic of this shoe and the uppers may vary widely in style.
And while I wouldn’t suggest wearing these to a black tie event, they’re still dressier than others, particularly this navy blue leather version.
Classic espadrilles have a canvas upper including the toe and vamp and seamed to the rope sole near the sides.
Espadrilles can be found all over Paris during the summer months, and can be seen on fashion forward individuals too.
