5 Best Men's Espadrilles UK 2023 | Castañer, Reiss and More

Does it get any suaver than these penny loafers by British fashion brand Reiss? The loafer is constructed of premium underside suede creating a soft yet workable espadrille that's built to last and looks good while doing it. 

The hemp rope soles have been seamlessly stitched to the suede, resulting in a more fashionable pair for a summer in the city. The toe is cut in an almond shape, which, although isn't the norm, offers something incredibly fresh and refined to the espadrille story, and we're all for it. 

Designed in Barcelona and handmade in a boutique workshop in Spain, you just know you're dealing with years of associated craftsmanship when it comes to Viscata. The Sitges is a classic espadrille with a premium touch for the men who enjoy the finer footwear in life. 

Choose between beige and brown for two naturally Spanish colourways, either of which will have you figuratively soaking up the sights and smells of the Mediterranean – even while on your staycation holibobs along the Dorset and Cornish coasts. 

A premium option by a reliable brand, the Mondello by Geox is ideal for men who want a little slice of that espadrille charm without going all the way with jute rope soles. In fact, the rubber soles have been specially formulated with thermo-regulation technology to keep your feet nice and cool. 

This breathability coupled with the comfort-focused cushioning offers all the perks of a regular slip-on trainer while remaining cool and sweat-free. Available in darker colours too, this is a quality pair perfect for the less traditionally minded espadrille wearers out there. 

With laces included in this stylish pair from Alexis Leroy, you've officially been given the keys to an espadrille you can walk for miles in. The choice between black and beige is a good one, with both colours really elevating the textured canvas upper while setting the dial to maximum chill. 

The jute soles and stitching create the enticing espadrille feeling underfoot and blend into the canvas like it was meant to be. This is a good deal for a pair of supportive espadrilles that sit comfortably in the mid-range on price and quality.

Bending the style rules as ever, surf brand Quiksilver are forging their own path on what the espadrille represents. They have done this by doing away with the jute rope sole and replacing it with a more modernised rubber sole. 

The chunky rubber soles have then been wrapped in jute, which enables the pair to retain the espadrille look while offering a much higher level of comfort and support. They also feature a wide elasticated gusset for easy entry and come in four neutral tones of blue, grey, black and beige.
