what is the shoe store in madrid for espadrilles?
 

Hi. I remember reading about a great shoe store for espadrilles but can't remember the name. Can someone help me? thanks

Last spring every store had espadrilles!!! Shop around to see what you like.. there is a web site for handmade ones..www.zhovak.com Don't think handmade are necessary however!!!

Maribel's Guide to Madrid lists Antigua Casa Crespo, Divino Pastor, 29 and Gasa Hernanz, Calle Toledo, 18 as the best places to find espadrilles.

There's two well known ones - Casa Hernanz and Lobo, they're literally a few doors down from each other. My friends from Madrid recommended Lobo btu when I went to look at both, it seems that the Casa Hernanz was of better quality, and just a couple of euros more expensive.

A couple of weeks ago,Casa Hernanz already had people lined up out the door! Don't be put off,the line moves quickly.I love the fact that these are actually made in Spain! I always buy the key chains with espadrilles as gifts! You need to ask for them!

Castaner is the really chic go-to brand for espadrilles.

And if you want a great bag, you can do no wrong with Balenciaga or Loewe.
