Children's Espadrilles

Why choose children's espadrilles?

Ahhh our little ones! They are as tall as four apples but they enjoy life to the fullest like adults. In the space of a day they can fight dragons, go treasure hunting and run a marathon. We are dedicating to them a range of children's espadrilles worthy of the name to accompany them through all these adventures. This collection includes many models in a mini but high quality version. Patterned, striped or plain, we have everything you need to satisfy your little ones' feet. Sizes ranging from 28 to 34, the feet of toddlers and adults alike will be able to benefit from French know-how all summer long.

So why give your child a pair of espadrilles?

This rope sandal is particularly suitable for children's feet thanks to its soft jute sole. It offers them great freedom of movement, ideal in summer when they run around everywhere. Furthermore, jute is a very popular material because it easily takes the shape of the foot. It will thus adapt to your child's arch, without bothering them. Being entirely natural , it poses no risk to him. On the contrary, it lets your feet breathe, which is very desirable when they start to sweat. The espadrille is therefore one of the very comfortable and pleasant summer shoes to wear. And comfort isn't just a question of materials. Without scratches or laces, this summer sandal is very easy to put on, perfect for our children who are looking for simplicity and speed. The outsole, meanwhile, is made from recycled rubber. The rubber adheres very well to the ground, making this shoe non-slip. For the upper, we always opt for skin-friendly materials with a limited environmental impact. For example, for our plain espadrilles, the fabrics are made from recycled cotton , breathable and lightweight. This cotton is just as resistant as its more conventional counterpart and allows us to reduce the production of waste linked to manufacturing. Beyond a rigorous selection of materials, our children's espadrilles also benefit from artisanal manufacturing in the South of France. In fact, we use the same Mauléon workshop to manufacture our children's collection as for our adult models. This workshop shares with us ancestral know-how which is reflected in each pair. How do we see it? It's all in the details. The final assembly is done using nylon thread, much more resistant than cotton thread. This finish allows your child to carry out their craziest activities without risk of wear. You will have understood, whether for adults or children, quality is an element on which we never compromise.

How to choose your children's espadrilles?

To choose the espadrille best suited to your little feet, you start by listening to your child. Between juicy strawberries, big teddy bears, colorful flowers or superheroes, let your child choose the pattern of their pair of espadrilles without influencing them. Moreover, our collections of printed espadrilles respond very well to the desires of little ones who dream of escaping into pretty imaginary worlds. Of course, we also have plain models in our children's collection, for those who prefer to see life in a single color. Blue, pink, yellow or green, your little one will definitely find what they're looking for in our wide range of colors. Does your little one want a pair with their little name? You can then opt for an embroidered espadrille. It will be personalized at the heel with the message of your choice. His favorite character, his nickname or the name of the cuddly toy he never leaves, it's up to him to see what he would like. And when your little one grows up, he will remember these sweet summers by looking at his personalized espadrilles.

Once the style of the espadrille has been chosen, we move on to the size. Usual size or larger? Like all espadrilles, the cotton fabric relaxes as the shoe takes the shape of the foot. You should therefore opt for the usual size for most cases. If your child is a half size, we advise you to take the larger size so that they are comfortable in their summer shoes. Once the pair is put on, remember to check that your child is not curling their toes, they simply need to touch the tip of the shoe. Children grow very quickly, it is very likely that from one season to the next their toes gain a few centimeters, if you then have to opt for a new pair, do not hesitate to return the old one to us because we recycle all the Payote. Its pair will be disassembled and each component will be reused. This little action will be an opportunity to introduce them to recycling in a fun way.

How to take care of your children's espadrilles ?

With all their daily adventures, children's shoes can get dirty more easily. If your little one stains his pair, clean it locally with a small soft-bristled brush so as not to damage the fabric. You can use soapy water or fabric foam. Avoid putting the pair in the washing machine as the sole cord will swell on contact with water. For Payote to have a longer lifespan, it will be necessary to limit their exposure to humidity. If your child accidentally wets their pair, dry them in a warm, dry place for several hours to avoid any degradation in quality. There you go, you now have all the keys in hand so that your child can find Payote to his liking. Dressing your little ones' pretty feet in summer while supporting French know-how, that's a successful bet with our children's espadrilles.
