It's ironic that I'm posting about spring footwear when I'm currently strapped into ski boots, but I'm getting excited for spring. We've had such a mild winter that I am hoping I'll be able to slip into these espadrilles sooner than later.
I have had these Gold Espadrilles for about 5 years now and they are one of my most worn pairs of warm weather shoes ever. So much, so, I'm going to order them in the gold platform since the ankle straps on my current pair have frayed pretty badly.
We are headed to Mexico for a wedding in April so I'm really focused on building my summer wardrobe sooner than later. I never need much but I do fill in the holes of things and replace pieces when needed!
I went through my archives to find photos of me in the wedges, and I didn't have to look for long.
Over the years, I've been asked if I prefer Soludos or Castaner. Both brands make a similar-looking espadrille wedge (among many other brands, like Stuart Weitzman). I don't even have to think about it; my answer is most definitely Castaner.
Before I had these Castaner wedges, I had the Soudos version. They were fine, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, I just think Castaner is nicer quality!
I linked to a bunch of different retailers that carry Castaner as each retailer seems to have a different selection of styles and colors, so it's worth taking a look around to see which you may like best!
I would not. know what shoes to wear in the summer if I didn't have these. They are easily some of my most worn shoes, maybe ever. They are SO comfortable. I love that theyy're casual but also somewhat dressy. They're a style of shoe that has been around for decades and never really goes in or out of style. Just a great classic. I think they look great with pants, dresses, skirts, and shorts!
I more recently added these White Platform Espadrilles to the mix and love them. Dare I say, they are more comfortable than the non-platform version! I treat the canvas with this spray to protect them and keep them looking fresh! I don't treat the gold version since it already has a layer over the canvas that protects it.
This style of shoe is especiallt nice in early spring/summer as they have toe coverage. Also, a saving grace in the middle of the summer if you are going somewhere and don't have time for a pedicure, so you're avoiding open-toed shoes!
Sizing
They run true to size but only come in full sizes. I have a size 39 which is my usual European size. I think if you are between sizes (sometimes I'm an 8.5 in US shoes, but always a 39 in European), you could potentially choose the smaller size, though, as I do find the 39 to feel slightly roomy at the toes.
