about espadrilles

When it's time to give your feet a vacation, think espadrilles. Distinguished by the ties that temptingly encircle your legs, espadrilles meld a carefree, casual spirit with sultry allure.

Traditional espadrilles (es-puh-drills) originated in Catalonia and take their name from esparto, a tough, wiry Mediterranean grass used in making rope. Once peasant footwear, espadrilles have been made in Catalonia since at least the 14th century, but their style makes them a hot shoe today.

Traditionally espadrilles have a canvas upper with a flexible, jute rope sole, which is the defining characteristic of espadrilles (even if today that sole is rubber that is molded to look like rope).
