Like a classic espadrille, MARTELLA pairs a rubber or leather sole with an upper hand-woven from silk or cotton thread, blending old shoemaking methods with a modern shape. The woven upper is what makes it light on the foot and breathable enough for daily summer wear, keeping feet cool rather than stuffy. Each pair is washable and holds up to regular use, and the colorwork gives it a look independent artisans have updated for a younger, more casual style. It comes in a full range of sizes for men and women alike.
