DIEGOS® black ballerina espadrilles with back loop removable laces Features: The laces of this espadrille can easily be removed and placed back because there is a sewn loop at the back of the heel just for this purpose. The ballerina fits all! In our espadrille store throughout the years, when a client comes in with very wide or very narrow feet, the ballerina is our miracle-fits-all espadrille. Materials: The braided soles of the espadrilles are made of jute thread and recycled textile fibers from Barcelona. The organic cotton canvas is weaved in Valencia. Origin & authenticity: We cannot stress this enough: DIEGOS espadrilles are entirely handcrafted and hand stitched in La Rioja, Northern Spain. Trivia: The Spanish word for espadrille is "Alpargata".
