What are espadrilles?

espadrilles are sandals made of canvas, with feet of different heights decorated with rope. Sandals were first produced more than 600 years ago in Catalonia, but the name itself is French. However, this may be confusing if you are looking for espadrilles in Canada because it is a normal Quebec term for running or jogging shoes.

They can not only be glued, but also sewing, and many of them have other patterns in the rope to provide shoes.
