Espadrilles (Spanish: alpargatas or esparteñas; Portuguese: alpercatas; Catalan: espardenyes; Basque: espartinak; French: espadrilles) are casual shoes with soles made of esparto rope. The upper is usually canvas or cotton fabric and can vary widely in style. They are usually flat but sometimes high-heeled.
