Growing up in South Florida everyone wore espadrilles.  It was such a ‘thing’ and I was so longing to be a city girl in NY that I hated them.  Never wore them.  Not until I grew up and moved to NYC that I began to embrace all the colorful ways of the South.  Sure enough, I got my first pair of espadrilles a decade ago and I went for the original in espadrilles.  I don’t think my feet were ever happier than that summer.  I wore my Castañer gold platforms from May through September for a few years until they eventually smushed down from all the miles I put on them.  We walk here in Nyc.  A lot. 

Luckily, Castañer makes gorgeous flats too.  Shop for summer here.
