All about Castañer

Castañer sandals, Castañer shoes and Castañer boots evoke a playful and fun attitude to your wardrobe. Castañer’s wedge sandals, from a reasonable 5 cm to a dizzying 11 cm, are mostly wrapped in hemp rope as well as these unusual materials: woven straw, rattan and wicker. Castañer has been known to also combine materials such as seersucker or patent leather into their sandals.

History 1927 The Castañer Company, as it is today, was founded in 1927 by Luis Castañer and Tomas Serra. It was the developing result of an initial espadrille workshop, whose business goes back in their family to the year 1776, when the first espadrille maker Rafael Castañer was born. They are very proud to have spanned four different centuries.

1936 The company went through many difficult times, such as the Civil War in 1936, when it was nationalized because its production was of military interest. Soldiers were sent to the front lines wearing espadrilles and in the 1950’s the company faced a major crisis with the arrival of vulcanization and injection and the creation of the well-known 'Chirucas'.

1960 In the mid 1960’s, with their parents, Lorenzo and Isabel, already running the business, and during a Trade Fair in Paris, the foremost designer of the time, YSL, ordered a high-heeled espadrille, a real novelty which had never been produced in all the centuries of the espadrille existence. This was the launching point of the company, as it is today. In fact, the espadrille suddenly changed from a shoe for country folk to a luxury fashion footwear article.

2006 Through those years, Castañer has been gradually growing and the collection now includes Castañer sandals, Castañer shoes and Castañer boots. Exports to countries such as Japan, the EU, the USA, Switzerland, South Africa, Hong Kong, Taiwan etc., currently make up 60% of their output. Their articles are bought by high fashion customers in these countries and they are found in the wardrobe of film stars, glamorous ladies and famous people. Moreover, Castañer manufactures for some of the most prestigious brand names in the world of fashion and luxury products.

Castañer has reinvented the espadrille, a 200 year old item, and kept it fresh in a time when everything seems "so 10 minutes ago".

I love these shoes for between seasons. So comfortable. I ordered in navy and ivory. The navy fit perfectly but the ivory was way too tight. I returned the ivory and reordered in original size and half size larger. On second order, my original size fit much better.

I purchased the charcoal they are beautiful I like them much better than black the black is too dark for a summer espadrille. They are true to size for me. This isn't a light shoe, but it is very comfortable and looks beautiful on with pants, skirts, dresses it will go with most. You need to tie the laces around your ankle, so it is secure that is the secret is tying the laces, so they support the shoe. I also purchased the same espadrille in light gold, but you cannot get them from any store or website in the U.S. not yet anyway. I Love Zappos they have the best customer service if I can purchase something from them I will, before I purchase it from any other store because of the GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE THE FAST RETURNS AND THE FAST DELIVERES. Sometimes they don't have stock of what I want so I have to order elsewhere but they are the Best. They do offer sometimes to be notified through email when they get items back in stock with your size & color by leaving your email and they always get it back in stock when you sign up for notification.

I loved how these looked, but I have a narrow foot, and both the heel and front were way too wide/loose around my foot. They looked ok and were the right length, but I was swimming in them and felt very unstable.

I love the creamy colored espadrilles. I already have the same pair in Black and plan to buy them in Khaki too. My first time ordering through Zappos. I was extremely disappointed that the shoes didn't come with the shoe box after paying 112.00. The delivery box said on the cover that the shoe box was damaged. SMH.

These are very nice shoes. The "bright pink" is really more of a coral, but it is a soft, sophisticated color (at least compared to the other pink espadrilles I also ordered and returned). They are surprisingly comfortable. There is plenty of room in the toe box. Normally I can't wear regular width shoes and these are have plenty of room for me. I suspect it would be too much if your foot is narrow. I could see walking around in these for a few hours and still being pretty comfortable.

Fabric was rough and was irritating to my feet in several places. The clasp to adjust the fit was very difficult to adjust and caused me not to wear the shoe

These are the most comfortable shoes and espadrilles I have ever worn! The heel height is perfect, the toe box molds to my feet so perfectly, I can wear these all day long. I’m a true size 8 and 39 fits me so well

The shoes looked a lot better on the website than they were. They don't look like quality shoes, there was no liner on the inside to protect your feet from the stitching so they were uncomfortable to walk on and were a bit too tight so hard to put on. Not worth the price.

These shoes are absolutely adorable, super flattering and moderately comfortable. However, after one wear (which was 6 hours mostly indoors and seated) there were loose strings and the rope on the wedge had come loose and was peeling back. After a second wear (about 3 hours at a restaurant) the shoes looked worn and sad. As much as I love how the shoe looks I will never repurchase.

Cute Shoe but... the ankle strap is very short. It barely fit around my ankle and I have slim ankles. Therefore I had to return, but I did keep the Carina with the traditional ankle wrap.

Mistakenly got the 80mm wedge instead of the 60mm. These were too tall for me. Also not comfortable and a little narrow. Returned.

This shoe is so cute! The only problem is the back heel cup just didn't fit. It could be because I'm short and/or have flat-feet. If not for that, the perfect summer shoe.

They are adorable and exactly what I need for days when your piggies cannot get out! They are a little heavy for the straps, but I think that is expected given the fabric heel enclosure. I do wish that a second fabric tie was included as I can see these getting tired and worn first. Wore to an art exhibition sending for 4 hours and feet remained happy! :)

I ordered these and Patricia green’s version of the same shoe. These have a narrower toe box and a little rougher look to them. The back weave isn’t quite as clean, though neither is perfect. They fit better and cleaner around the toes though, making my foot look slender and not clunky which wedges sometimes do. I think the canvas type fabric will also mold to the foot where I fear the PG ones will loosen you much. Patricia green has a natural color, which is more hemp. I preferred the casteñar’s cream color. It’s less casual. In both, the heel support is low, so that you have to tie the ballet laces snugly or the shoe will definitely slip off. In the higher heeled casteñar, my heel slipped around, but these did not. The last thing is the PG ones have slightly more cushion, but they’re both comfortable enough to walk around a lot. It’s a tough choice between them
