Candell: lace up espadrille flatsOur authentic Candell canvas espadrilles have been given a refreshing lift with a soft ankle strap to create one of our most stylish flat shoes. These beautiful lace up espadrilles have a closed, rounded toe and every pair has been handcrafted in Spain. Comfortable flats like these are hard to find, especially if they are traditional espadrilles made the old fashioned way, with love and passion. Remember, you should never use the washing machine to clean espadrilles, as the Jute will shrink and lose its elasticity. Wash The Canvas: Cleaning canvas espadrilles couldn’t be easier. Just follow these four simple steps: Dampen a brush or sponge with slightly soapy water. Delicately dab the stain, taking care not to rub too hard. Finish off by rinsing the espadrilles gently with a damp cloth. Leave them to air dry (never put them in the dryer) but make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight to stop the colors from fading. Wash The Jute: To clean this crucial shoe component, gently wipe with a damp, mildly soapy sponge, using small motions to avoid unraveling the jute. For odor elimination, sprinkle talcum powder in the shoes and leave overnight. With regular maintenance, these durable and comfortable shoes will endure season after season, remaining in excellent condition. Extra Care: For a powerful clean, make sure to check our shoe protector.
