I haven't purchased a pair of espadrilles in years and got these for an upcoming trip.  We will be doing plenty of walking on cobble stone streets and I needed something much cooler than my leather stride rites and Clarks.  I am so happy with these shoes.  They are just a tad bid large but not so much that they flop but, they are so cool and comfortable on my feet.  I have worn these several times, to insure that they were broken in but, I didn't have to.  Love these shoes and ordered another another pair of Viscata shoes so I could have something a bit different.
