They are natural materials that are used in the manufacture of esparto espadrilles.

Esparto sandals: very comfortable and natural footwear

Esparto, or hemp rope, is obtained from the woody fibers of the hemp trunk. Once dried, these fibers are spun and braided into the shape of a rope with which esparto wedges and soles are made.

The design of the esparto espadrille sole can be made in different ways: flat, heel, wedge... Before finishing, the esparto sole is vulcanized with rubber heated to 400ºC, where the rubber and esparto melt and they reinforce a definitive union. How do you imagine when reading these lines, you do not need any type of glue, thus achieving a manufacture that is as natural as possible.

The last process of joining the upper part of the espadrille with the sole is done by hand: sewing the soles and the upper part. This final process requires a lot of experience, tradition and wisdom, something that makes each pair of espadrilles unique.
