It’s been said that sneakers are the new sandal—but what if you want a little bit of both? Enter the espadrille sneaker, the feminine-meets-sporty style that’s been spotted on the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kendall Jenner, and Selena Gomez.
The summer-ready look offers the comfort of a sneaker with the woven, beachy base of a sandal.
The summer-ready look offers the comfort of a sneaker with the woven, beachy base of a sandal. It’s equal parts princess (both Kate and Pippa Middleton are longtime espadrille fans) and ready-for-action (okay, maybe don’t run in these, but they’ll make great commuting shoes to get you to your next spin class).
Whether you favor a super summery floral print or a preppy-with-an-edge leather oxford—or if you’re still all-in on the white sneaker movement—these styles cover all the bases.
