How to remove stains from the sole?
Extend the life of your shoes
Espadrilles, with their iconic jute soles, offer a blend of comfort, style, and sustainability. However, to preserve their durability and appearance, proper cleaning and drying of the jute sole is essential. Jute is a natural fiber, known for its strength, but it is also highly absorbent and prone to wear if exposed to moisture for prolonged periods. If not cleaned regularly, dirt can embed itself into the fibers, while excess moisture can lead to mold, weakening the sole and reducing the longevity of your espadrilles. Therefore, maintaining a routine for cleaning and thoroughly drying the jute sole helps ensure your espadrilles remain fresh, sturdy, and long-lasting, all while retaining their stylish appeal.

What should I do if they get wet?
Firstly, you should remember that jute and water don't get on well. The jute tends to swell and come apart when in contact with water. Therefore, it's essential to avoid getting your espadrilles wet, especially never putting them in the washing machine.
However, we understand that rain can catch you off guard. If that happens, follow these simple steps to save your espadrilles.
Let them dry with a hairdryer or in the open air without exposing them to the sun.
Always keep the espadrille in a horizontal position.
You can also sprinkle bicarbonate and leave for a few hours to remove moisture and prevent odour. Then, remove it with a soft-bristle brush.
What should I do if the sole starts to come off?
Use a special adhesive for shoes, which you can find in shoe repair shops and marketplaces. Apply the adhesive to the separated surface and press both parts together. Let the adhesive dry for at least 24 hours.
