Women's slip on shoes of Spanish origin that traditionally have a woven fabric (usually canvas) upper, a flexible sole woven from rope or jute, and a strap that ties around the ankles. Other versions of espadrilles may have leather uppers and an adjustable ankle strap (instead of a tie strap).
Earthies Tortola A Bit Too bulky and dangerous for me!

I thought I would love this shoe, but I found out otherwise. It was very bulky looking. I wore them to work anyway. I nearly fell down twice in one day. The rubber sole caught on the floor while I was walking and made me stubble and nearly fall. They were a bit tight over the top of my foot and I couldn't wait to take them off after work. I tried wearing them a second time, and that was a mistake. I again nearly fell stepping off of some stairs. I feel like I wasted my money and will have to give these shoes away with a warning attached. They looked so good in the picture, but that is all. I will not order any more shoes off line again. I so much wanted to like these shoes. :(
Wears this shoe: I wore it to work twice only. They are too dangerous.

Shoe is a perfect fit, comfortable and very stylish. I like the 3 inch heel heighth and NO platform under the ball of the foot. Slightly padded and seems sufficient.
Wears this shoe: I have worn this shoe at least 6 hours every day since I bought it.
