Women's espadrilles: the Bayona collection, from the Basque Country to your closet

Bayona reinventsthe women’s espadrille without ever straying from its roots. Founded in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, our brand offers the Basque Country’s iconic shoe in every style: traditional canvas, wedges, platforms, mules, sandals, ballet flats, and sneakers. A consistent standard runs through the entire collection—premium materials, a braided rope sole, and comfort that lasts all summer long.

Each style is designed for a specific moment in the season: the lightness of a canvas espadrille for the beach, the height of a wedge for an evening out, the ease of a mule for everyday wear. That’s what makes the espadrille a truly unique women’s summer shoe: it adapts to different occasions without ever losing its identity.

Year after year, the colors change and the styles evolve, but the spirit remains the same: that of a shoe born between the Pyrenees and the ocean, which has becomethe trendy women’s espadrille found today from the Basque Coast to the terraces of Paris.

Leather, suede, and cotton: women's espadrilles designed to last

When choosing a pair of Bayona women’s espadrilles, the material is the first consideration—it determines the shoe’s look, versatility, and durability.Women’s leather espadrilles stand apart: more structured than canvas, they complement an urban look, develop a beautiful patina, and age gracefully—the summer pair that lasts into the next summer. Smooth leather for elegance, gold or metallic for a touch of sparkle: women’s leather espadrilles effortlessly complement a dressy wardrobe.

Woven cotton remains the original fair-weather material — relaxed, lightweight, and available in shades from beige to the black women’s espadrille, one of our most consistently requested styles. Linen brings a natural, very summery texture, while suede offers a soft, brushed finish that looks especially good on loafers and late-season styles.

They all share the same foundation: a sole made of braided jute rope—the signature feature of the Basque espadrille—protected by a thin layer of rubber against friction and wet cobblestones. It is this construction that gives women’s flat espadrilles their characteristic flexibility, and the wedge or platform versions their stability—the summer alternative to the classic heel, to be chosen based on your day rather than your style.

How to Wear Espadrilles This Season?

The choice depends on the style, material, and occasion. To capture the original spirit,traditional canvasespadrilles are worn barefoot—whether at the beach or at the market. To add height, our wedge espadrilles and platform styles elongate the silhouette without sacrificing stability.

Women’s espadrille mules and sandals prioritize comfort and freedom of movement—perfect for slipping on for a night out on a terrace or a summer evening. For a more urban look, espadrille ballet flats and sneakers carry on the brand’s signature style in closed-toe designs.

Whether paired with a dress, skirt, jeans, or lightweight pants, espadrilles go with any outfit: a cotton pair for a casual look, or a leather version for a more dressed-up look. And to compare them at a glance, browse our entire selection of espadrilles for women and men.

FAQ

What is the difference between an espadrille and a classic summer shoe?

The espadrille is recognizable by its braided jute sole, a tradition passed down from the Basque Country. At Bayona, it’s lined with non-slip rubber: you get the authenticity and lightness of an espadrille with the support of a dress shoe.

How do I choose the right size for my women's espadrilles?

Choose your usual size. Our canvas and leather styles soften slightly after the first few wears and mold to the shape of your foot; if you're between sizes, go with the smaller size for canvas styles.

Can you wear espadrilles in the rain?

Espadrilles are shoes for nice weather. A light rain shower won't damage them thanks to the rubber under the rope, but avoid getting them soaked: let them air dry, never near a heat source.

What kind of women's espadrilles should you choose for a wedding?

A wedge or platform espadrille made of leather, suede calfskin, or with a metallic finish: the height of a pump, the stability of a solid sole—and your feet will hold up all night long. Lace-up styles add a romantic touch to a long dress.

How do you wear espadrilles with jeans?

Pair them with straight-leg or 7/8-length jeans that show off the ankle: a pair of flat cotton espadrilles for the day, and leather wedges for the evening. Espadrilles add a summery touch that lightens up any denim look.
