With the look of an espadrille and the comfort of a flat, these are a must! A black suede vamp and leather inner sole and ties scream quality. There is beautiful braiding around the sides and the toe can also has some jute work for durability and style. A heel strap will keep your foot secure as will the ankle ties which connect on the vamp and heel strap for a great look! European size 39 which is an 8 or 8.5 per the size chart. They were a little large for my size 8 foot.
