docs41 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hello all... I realize my taste in shoes differs from many in here, but we still have the same love--women's shoes!!! One style that I have yet to see mentioned in this forum is the espadrille. I love them, not the flat style, but the kind with a wedge (the higher the better!) and the ankle wrap that goes up the leg. What do you guys or ladies think about them??? If the shoe fits-buy it!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hi Docs41, I like wedges too, sandals, boots, even pumps with wedges. These are from Faith , they come in different colours.

womenshoelover Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 docs41 I also like espadrilles, but only with a high wedge heel. Flat ones are not to my liking either. The picture that Robert shows are really nice! Nothing beats a great pair of pumps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelfan Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Come on guys. if we're talking espadrille-type shoes, let's get serious!: Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genebujold Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 First, that's not an espadrille. This is: So's this: And this: What's the common defining factor? Rope. Particularly, a shoe with a woven-side sole, usually in wedge format, and often with a slight platform. Second, I think they're ok for mid-thirty nurses in great shape, but they look like crap on everyone else. But HEY! That's just my humble opinion...

mk4625 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 The uppers should be cloth to be a true espadrille. I prefer the front to be closed and the wedge fairly low, no more than 2 1/2 inches. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I think they're ok for mid-thirty nurses in great shape, but they look like crap on everyone else. But HEY! That's just my humble opinion... They also look nice on young girl with flaring summer dresses and skirts .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I have a pair of espadrilles that have a 3 inch heel and an ankle wrap tie. Got them from Newport News last year. Very comfy, I love them !!! SF "Why should girls have all the fun!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf174 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I like wedges. I just can't find the kind that I like. Well at least the style that I like. It's all good. ~Arron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
