Calvin Klein Ladies Shoes Genna Espadrilles in Navy Blue

Additional description

When it's warm outside, the last thing you want to do is put on some socks and trainers, and yet sometimes sandals may not give you the look you want. That's where a good pair of espadrilles come in!

Espadrilles existed in Spanish and French culture for centuries before they became popular in the U.K. In fact, the first pair of espadrilles can be dated back 4000 years! They are typically made with a flexible canvas or soft fabric upper and a firm, flat sole. Of course, variations have occurred over the years, and this particular Calvin Klein design features a slightly elevated flat platform wedge, giving you a bit of height as you walk.

The upper displays a prominent Calvin Klein logo in white across the navy blue canvas, which is especially eye-catching and perfect if you like to draw attention. Between the upper and the sole is noticeable, stylish hessian stitching which contrasts beautifully with the navy and adds a new dimension to the overall design. Unlike many cheaper, flimsier espadrilles on the market, the two part white sole is sturdy and supportive, and the outer canvas material has elasticated sides creating a comfortable fit and easy free movement as you walk.

We recommend pairing this navy blue women's espadrille with beach attire in the hottest months, such as a pair of white cropped chinos, a fun nautical strap top and navy baseball cap to keep the sun off your face. On a cooler day, you may wish to pair with full length chinos or harem pants, a simple t-shirt and lightweight jacket. It is not customary for you to wear socks with espadrilles, so it's important to realise this before selecting the rest of your outfit. If you prefer not to go bare foot, you can find transparent trainer socks that won't be noticeable under the shoe.
