Women's wedge espadrilles by Payote are the perfect blend of craftsmanship, comfort and elegance
Wedge espadrilles have firmly established themselves as a summer must-have for women. With their signature braided rope soles and flattering, feminine silhouettes, they effortlessly elevate any warm-weather outfit. We pack them in our suitcases to strike the perfect balance between Mediterranean chic and traditional charm. Since making their debut in the 1970s, they’ve remained a wardrobe staple, never straying from style. So there are a fashion certainty : you are certain you will always be trendy with them at your feet. That's why at Payote, we have embraced this summer shoe by creating our own take on it. Crafted in France, each of our pair is a perfect fusion of style, comfort and craftsmanship. Let's take a closer look at this collection you will definitely fall in love with !
Payote's take on this wardrobe essential
Far from being outdated, wedges have gained the status of a summer wardrobe icon. And there are plenty of reasons for it ! Their cuts and materials make them the perfect accessory to indulge in Mediterranean elegance without cutting back on comfort. Whether it is for a wedding, a stroll in the city or a walk along the beach, they will adapt to all the summer activities without any missteps. We love them for their compensated soles that elevate us while keeping our feet very stable. At Payote, we have decided to offer you as much options as possible so that every woman can find the perfect fit for them.
As for the fastening systems, we have chosen two different options : tie-up laces or buckle strap. Either of them maintain your feet very well. The size of their heels also adapts to all the needs : our wedges are available in either 3, 5 or 7 centimeters. And what about Payote’s little twist ? You will obviously notice one element that we put a lot of importance on : the names of our products. Our three different wedges have been named Mado, Renée and Mathilde to pay tribute to the founder of Payote’s grandmothers and the ambassador of the collection, French actress Mathilde Seigner. Not only do these names add a personal touch to our shoes but they also carry a very symbolic meaning : each name represents a strong woman that assumes fully her feminity.
In this sense, we wanted this new collection to reflect the women that were going to wear them. We have chosen an upper that has a beautiful round cut shape to hightlight all women’s feet beautifully.
5 colors to reflect every woman's style
Our wedge espadrille collection offers a wide range of options, featuring three heel heights available in 5 colors each. We have carefully selected these colors to provide maximum versatility, so you can wear our wedges for any occasion. We have come up with the perfect mix of neutral basics and vibrant hues, inspired by the warm vibes of the South.
- The first color in our collection is Payote’s signature shade : royal blue. This deep hue perfectly captures the summer spirit we aim to infuse into our products. Our royal blue wedge espadrilles evoke the scent of the ocean, the warmth of the sun and the Mediterrean breeze. They designed to bring that “shells and seafood” vibe to your feet all year round. They make us dream of summer holidays in Provence, by the sea, with the refreshing scent of saltwater in the air.
- The second color is timeless : beige. Our beige wedge espadrilles feature a subtle shade that leans slightly toward ivory, embracing the bohemian-chic vibe of a handcrafted espadrille. It makes it the perfect option to wear to rural weddings or refreshing walks along the beach. Its natural aspect will go perfectly with a country landscape : it’s ideal for those days where you just want to walk aimlessly in the cobblestone streets of small cities. Depicting authentic casual elegance, this model is a must-have in a polished summer wardrobe.
- Another essential : black. This color is a classic that blends sophistication and discretion effortlessly. That's why our black wedge espadrille has everything to be your summer ally. Whether you wear it for a day out with friends, a fancy party or a more solemn occasion, you are sure to be comfortable all day. Are you ready to elevate your style in an elegant way this summer ?
- Next comes a trendy shade : khaki. This subtle color strikes the perfect balance between softness and deepness. The khaki wedge espadrille is the ideal shoe for those who love minimalist wardrobes because it goes well with just about anything. Think of natural looking colors like beige, ivory or more vibrant ones like red or orange. If you're aiming to look sophisticated without little effort then go for a linen set or a cotton maxi dress.
- To complete this collection, we have chosen a color that is emblematic : terracotta. Warm and natural-looking, this shade calls for summer in all of its strength. Our terracotta wedge espadrille evokes the sunny atmosphere of the South of France. Lavander fields, chanting cicadas, sweet cocktails... That's all you wish for with this shoe at your feet.
From Perpignan to Roman : our wedges are made in France
This collection is perfectly aligned with our mission : offer you the best quality at a reasonable price while making sure that our product is sustainable and comfortable. That's why all of our wedge espadrilles are made in France, in a small workshop located in Roman-sur-Isères.
We have also selected first-choice materials for this collection. The upper is made with a canvas of authentic leather lined with a canvas of cotton. As for the sole, it is made with natural rope that is lined with a cotton canvas for comfort and breathability. Beyond comfort, we pay a lot of attention to our environmental footprint. Our values and commitment towards the environment.
Our packagings are also made in France using recycled cardboard to help us limit our impact on the planet.
In a word where fast-fashion reigns and where the making process of products is fast-paced and alienating, we aim for our products to be a poetic break. Handcrafted in a litttle workshop, they are made with care by passionate craftsmen. All the steps are done with thorough care to provide the best quality possible. These models stand against what fast-fashion stands for. The message they carry is simple : fashion can be sustainable. Just like a little treasure passed down from generation to generation, these wedges will embellish over time.
A sense of inclusivity
Our wedge espadrilles are made to look just like you : they will fit perfectly just after a few hours of wearing them, their materials stretching and their soles adapting to your feet. Since our goal was to make sure that everyone could find their best fit, we have decided to offer you a wide range of options when it comes to sizes and heel heights. Indeed, you can choose between three different options : a heel that is 3 centimeters' high, a 5-centimeter's one and the highest one is 7-centimeter's high.
We also aim to be inclusive through smaller details. One is the fastening system : we offer you two options. You can either choose a buckle strap or laces. This way, you can really go with the model that perfectly fits your needs and style.
