The Espadrille Matrix: Shoes to Wear From the Pool to Payday

Espadrilles can be a drag in big cities. For a shoe that is characteristically defined by its flexible rope sole, it isn’t necessarily a great fit for a (sometimes) wet, (always) dirty, smog-ridden metropolis. Most summer shoes cause a conundrum for the young professional: how do you avoid weighing down your bag with extra belongings while you’re really to-and-fro between the beach and the boardroom, the pool and your payday? It’s rare (if not impossible) to find an espadrille that can help you kill it in both a big presentation and a game of volleyball on the beach.

We have created an espadrille matrix. From the pool, to the office, to the days where you’re going to be at both, we got you covered. We’ve also ranked styles from mod to minimalist, to find options suitable for both the kaleidoscope inclined as well as the color-allergic. Whether you’re into sky-high, couture platforms or simple sandals handmade in Spain, we made sure to emphasize the versatility that espadrilles offer by mapping over 50 options. So, if you’re stuck dodging taxis that spray last night’s rain or are worried about looking office-ready during the dead of summer, scroll onward to alleviate your shoe struggles.
