Abarca Espadrilles Camping cotton brown

Abarca's handcrafted espadrilles are renowned for their high level of comfort and sustainable manufacturing. Espadrilles are the perfect summer shoe that is naturally cool, yet easy to put on and take off. Here in a brown colour.

Made with old traditional techniques where braided jute forms the sole base, with a natural rubber outsole that is durable and provides good grip. It has a cushioning natural latex covered with vegetable tanned leather.

Abarca makes its espadrilles by hand in Murcia, Spain. All the materials used are organic, and they are mostly sourced from local producers for the smallest possible carbon footprint. It also allows them to have very strict quality requirements for their materials. Abarca's sustainable approach has made them famous around the world, where you can find them at over 400 retailers.

The cemented construction is the most basic construction method for shoes. Here the upper together with midsole / lasting board (as is the case for all our Skolyx shoes made with this construction, where a proper real leather midsole is used) or in simpler cases a fabric sole base is attached to the outsole with only adhesives, no stitching.

Nowadays the cement used is strong and can often last long, but resoling the shoes is usually trickier. Often a cobbler only attach a new wear piece on top of the original outsole, to make the shoes last longer.

Which shoe care products to use:
Use a waterproofing spray like Tarrago Nano Protector to protect the textile from dirt and moist. It's recommended to it before first wear, after every proper cleaning, and if needed every now and then in-between. For cleaning of textile shoes, we recommend Tarrago WASC super cleaner.

Basic shoe care:
- Don’t use the same pair for two consecutive days
- Brush / wipe the shoes off after use
- Use shoe trees and shoehorn
- Treat regular leather with shoe cream, treat suede and textile with waterproofing spray
