Editor’s Pick: 11 Espadrilles For Summer

I just returned from Spain, where I was inspired the local culture and rich history of San Sebastián. And not just the food and vino tinto, but also what people wore on their feet! Following in the hallowed footsteps of Ernest Hemingway and the Basque people I made sure to purchase the essential shoes of summer, espadrilles! (I picked up a navy and white striped pair for the bargain price of $20, thank you very much.) Though this shoe originated in Spain, it is the perfect summer staple for all. Here are 11 options that are perfect whether you’re going on a trip to the beach or a tapas run.
