According to The Strategist, “Castañer is probably the most renowned maker of espadrilles — the brand opened its workshop in Bañolas, Spain, back in 1927 and made a wedge with Yves Saint Laurent in 1970. It’s the name I heard most often while reporting for this guide, too, and I wasn’t surprised: Its espadrilles are good-looking, well-made, and long lasting.”

I bought these new from Poshmark, and they are too big for me. I usually wear a 39, but decided to try a size up. I I have not worn them, just tried them on, and immediately realized they were too big. Just hoping to recoup some of my purchase price.
