Bayona Espadrilles: The Authentic Shoe of the Basque Country, for Him and Her

The espadrille has long been a part of the landscape and culture of the Basque Country. Bayona carries on this legacy from Saint-Jean-de-Luz by preserving the defining characteristics of this iconic shoe: a lightweight construction, a braided rope sole, and an instantly recognizable look.

With each new collection, the espadrille evolves without losing its identity. Today, traditional canvas styles are joined by wedge espadrilles, platform espadrilles, mules, sandals, loafers, and even sneakers. These diverse styles are designed to suit both women and men throughout the season.

All Bayona espadrilles share the same commitment to striking a balance between authenticity and modernity. Cotton canvas, leather, or suede calfskin adorn the traditional rope sole, allowing this summer shoe to transition effortlessly from the beach to the city, and from a casual outfit to a more dressy look.

What makes a true espadrille?

An espadrille is distinguished above all by its braided rope sole. It is this sole that gives the shoe its flexibility, lightness, and that distinctive look that has endured across generations. It is the common thread linking the most traditional styles to the more contemporary interpretations featured in the Bayona collections.

The upper material then gives each pair its distinctive character. Cotton canvas evokes the original spirit of the espadrille and is a natural choice for the hottest days. Leather adds structure and elegance, while suede calfskin offers a softer finish and a look that’s particularly well-suited to loafers and urban styles.

The rope sole is combined with a rubber outer layer to improve traction and protect the shoe during everyday use. This design allows the espadrille to retain its signature style while meeting today’s needs: walking around town, going on vacation, or simply enjoying sunny days in a lightweight, comfortable shoe.

Which espadrille should you choose?

To capture the quintessential spirit of this shoe,the traditional canvasespadrille is the obvious choice. Simple, lightweight, and easy to wear, it’s the perfect companion for summer days. To add some height while staying true to the espadrille’s spirit, check out our wedge espadrilles and platform styles as well.

Mules and sandals, on the other hand, prioritize simplicity and freedom of movement for the foot. Easy to slip on, they are a natural fit for any summer wardrobe. For a more urban look, loafers and sneakers offer the signature rope detail of espadrilles in more structured styles.

Ultimately, the choice depends as much on style as on how you plan to wear them. Canvas or leather, flat or wedged, open-toe or closed-toe: each style captures the essence of the espadrille while offering a different way to wear it. Explore the women’s and men’s espadrille collections to find the perfect pair for your summer.

FAQ

Where do espadrilles come from?

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.

How do I choose the right size for espadrilles?

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.

How do you care for espadrilles?

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.
