Espadrilles

Esparto wedge sandals, your favorites in summer

We know, comfortable wedges are the weakness of many of us who love heels and love to wear spectacular highs to our favorite stilettos. But although at Luisa Toledo we are determined to make comfortable stilettos, we know that summer is to be enjoyed with comfortable sandals or wedge espadrilles that provide that extra color and freshness that our looks demand.

For some summers we have been designing different styles of white wedding wedges with a very personal style, good proof of this are our Lidia and Laura models, two leather wedge sandals with a unique and very special style. Heeled sandals are also a regular part of our women's footwear designs for summer. But this year we wanted to go back to our roots, redesigning the traditional Spanish espadrilles, an iconic style of footwear, as well as globally recognized and highly valued for being artisan and quality espadrilles.

Women espadrilles, our comfortable wedges

For many women, esparto wedge sandals, and especially wedge espadrilles, are the favorite footwear to enjoy the summer, and at Luisa Toledo we have not wanted to miss the opportunity to elaborate our own interpretation of the traditional esparto wedges. Of course, always maintaining our maxim of timelessness, versatility and elegance. If you know Luisa Toledo shoes, you know that our passion is to design quality women's footwear and for everyone, regardless of age, because creating comfortable stilettos was our beginnings, and our enthusiasm for new creations remains intact.

We were clear that when creating our espadrilles they would have to be comfortable wedges, so we tested different wedge and platform heights until we found the perfect models. The design of our esparto platform sandals has been carefully planned and matured until we achieve our goal: to create the most comfortable women espadrilles in the world.

We were also clear about the result we wanted to achieve when creating the Luisa Toledo women espadrilles: esparto wedges that were elegant and very easy to wear at all times. And of course with the timeless style that characterizes all Luisa Toledo shoes, and which is one of the fundamental hallmarks of our brand so far.

Platform espadrilles and something else...

Another question that arose when sketching the first designs was to choose between creating esparto sandals with a buckle bracelet or opting for a more traditional design such as wedge strap espadrilles.

Choosing between one and the other seemed like a difficult choice, it was difficult for us to give up either of the two options. The practicality of wedge sandals with the buckle closure convinced us especially because of how comfortable it was to wear them, especially on those days when you have to do a thousand things and we are always in a hurry. But we fell in love with the classic style of a ribbon espadrille, especially because of the bohemian air they give off and why wearing knotted espadrilles adds a very chic touch.

Finally, we choose not to give up anything, that is why we created the Luisa Toledo espadrilles with a detail that makes them unique. We have designed them so that you can wear them with a buckle closure, but you can also use them as wedge espadrilles with ribbons. With a simple gesture you can change from buckle to ribbons, it will be as if every day you will release new esparto wedges.

This summer we wanted to give it EVERYTHING! And by giving everything, we mean opening ourselves up to new models, styles and designs, such as our espadrilles and also flat sandals for the most fun and spontaneous plans... Meeting friends to go to the pool, a meal at the terrace of your favorite restaurant or a day of work, but with nice sandals, which is always better.

Esparto wedges, what is your ideal height?

For us the ideal height is between 7 cm. and the 9 cm. it all depends on the style we want to add to our look. As we were not willing to give up this detail when creating our esparto wedges, we decided to make our models in two heights. The result is FRIDA espadrilles with a 7 cm wedge. and the GAIA model with an 8.5 cm wedge.

We also wanted to create a more elegant model that would be perfect for daily wear and would also represent an alternative for brides looking for wedge bridal shoes. And of course, we also think it is a perfect women's footwear even for the guests who prefer wedge sandals for weddings with which to feel super comfortable. And our interpretation of espadrille for those occasions has been the REBECA model with an 8.5 cm wedge. In all cases, they are models of platform espadrilles, so that the design in addition to stylizing our looks and provides an extra comfort.

And there is even more: the insole in addition to being leather has a cushioned gel interior that is a delight. To ensure the best care of even the most delicate feet. Are you looking for wedge espadrilles? Try our models with full guarantee.
