FAQs

What is the main material of these espadrilles?

The Saint Laurent Cassandre Espadrilles feature a premium leather upper, with a jute rope midsole and footbed.

Are these espadrilles suitable for wide feet?

The fit can vary. Leather does offer some flexibility and will mold to the foot over time. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on before purchasing or consult sizing guides carefully.

How do I clean the jute sole?

You can clean the jute sole by gently brushing it with a soft, dry brush to remove dirt. Avoid getting the jute wet, as this can damage its structure.

Can I wear these espadrilles in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these espadrilles in wet weather. The leather can be damaged by water, and the jute sole is particularly susceptible to moisture, which can lead to degradation and loss of shape.

What does the 'Cassandre' refer to?

'Cassandre' refers to the iconic YSL intertwining logo designed by Cassandre in 1961, which is embossed on these espadrilles.

What is the best way to store these espadrilles?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original dust bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid stacking them directly on top of other shoes to prevent damage.

Do these espadrilles offer arch support?

These espadrilles are designed with a flat jute footbed, offering a natural feel rather than structured arch support. They are best suited for those who prefer a minimalist sole construction.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffs or marks appear.

Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For more persistent marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to product instructions, and always test on a small, hidden area first.

Jute sole feels rough or dirty.

Brush the jute gently with a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid using water, as it can damage the jute fibers.

Espadrilles lose shape.

Ensure proper storage by using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Grosgrain pull-tab becomes creased.

Gently smooth the tab with your fingers. If necessary, a very low-heat iron with a protective cloth can be used cautiously, but professional advice is recommended for significant creasing.
