Espadrilles

Espadrilles originated in the Pyrenees, and it was in the Basque Country—particularly in Mauléon and Saint-Jean-de-Luz—that they were first mass-produced and then refined beginning in the 19th century. Bayona carries on this tradition from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, offering both traditional hand-sewn espadrilles and contemporary styles.

Choose your usual size for leather styles. For traditional canvas styles, choose a snug fit—or even half a size smaller if you're unsure: the canvas and rope will stretch and mold to your foot after the first few wears.

Dry-brush the shoes, clean any stains with a slightly damp sponge and mild soap, and let them air dry—never in the dryer or near a heat source. Avoid getting the rope sole wet: it absorbs water and may lose its shape.
