Maiett, the espadrille coming from the Basque Country

The casual shoe of choice, this espadrille combines comfort and style in the heat of the summer season. Although the style briefly fell out of fashion, it has returned to the fore of the urban scene, driven by brands like Maiett, who made it the centre of their trade. The shoe represents style and authenticity through colours and patterns that combine both of its strengths: a canvas upper and a rope-lined sole. In designing its collections with the French Basque Country near the Pyrenees in mind, it has risen to the challenge of following a respected handcrafted tradition.
