Black espadrilles pair a dark upper with a natural rope or raffia sole, so they feel summery but stay smart enough for dinners and events. Django & Juliette leads the range, with Top End, Ziera and Diana Ferrari, and longer-wearing styles among our leather espadrilles. Browse wedges and flats, or try them on in a Mathers store.
A black espadrille wedge adds height on a sole that runs the full length of the foot, which feels steadier than a heel and suits garden parties, long lunches and outdoor weddings. Django & Juliette's Rhainy and Ruta wedges use elastic or fabric uppers that move with the foot, and the Rafella adds a black and white stripe for a resort feel.
Flat black espadrilles and sandals are the easier everyday option. Styles like the Valentia and Pivey combine black leather with a natural rope trim, and Ziera's Kraig comes in an XF fitting for extra room across the foot.

The upper changes how the shoe wears. Leather holds its shape and softens over time, fabric is lightweight and breathable on hot days, and synthetic raffia gives a woven, holiday texture. A black upper also hides scuffs better than lighter shades, which makes it practical for travel and city wear.
Black espadrilles go with denim, linen, white and bold summer prints. If you want a warmer neutral, our tan espadrilles suit the same outfits, while our white espadrilles give a fresher, brighter finish.
Espadrilles should feel snug at first, as fabric and leather uppers ease with wear while the rope sole keeps its length, so avoid sizing down. Our team can check the fit in store.
Â
Q: Are espadrille wedges comfortable?
A: Many people find espadrille wedges comfortable because the height is spread along the whole sole rather than resting on a narrow heel. An ankle strap or elastic upper helps keep the foot secure.
Â
Q: How do you wear wedge shoes?
A: Wedges look best with outfits that show the ankle, such as cropped jeans, midi skirts and summer dresses. Match the wedge to the outfit, with rope styles for relaxed looks and leather for dressier ones.
Â
Q: Can you wear espadrilles in the rain?
A: It is best to avoid heavy rain, because rope and jute soles absorb water and can lose their shape. If they get wet, stuff them with paper and let them dry naturally away from direct heat.
Â
Q: How do I clean black espadrilles?
A: Brush dust off the rope sole once dry and spot clean the upper with a damp cloth. Use a leather conditioner on leather uppers and avoid soaking the sole.
