- Espadrilles were once the shoes of peasants in the French Pyrenees. They are slip-ons made of woven fabric with a flexible sole. The upper of an espadrille is traditionally made of canvas or cotton fabric, while the sole is made of rope. Sometimes a kind of rubber material made to look like rope is used to make the sole. Espadrilles are about as comfy as you can get when it comes to shoes.
