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 esoadrilles but this one was a good half size too small. Didn’t think it looked very high quality. Went back.

The shoes are beautiful and comfortable. They rin true to size. They are heavier than other espadrilles but the platform helps to keep them in place. The color is a perfect neutral.

Castaner is the leading standard for espadrilles, their quality is the very highest. These particular 4.5" were a bit higher than expected and the shoe is very , very, heavy. Had to return unfortunately. But I will definitely purchase this brand again and again.

fit and size were perfect and Castaner are the very best for espadrille quality, design and craftsmanship, they are the standard. These particular ones were just too heavy, had to return. I've purchased Castaner previously and 'love' them.

Sizing was leading. Marketed as US 10, but the box shows US 9. I am 9.5 and they are a full size too small and narrow. I won’t border reordering due to the narrow fit.

I absolutely love these wedges. I needed something fashionable to wear but also something that would support my arches because I can't put my orthotics into these shoes. Walking is very comfortable for two inches of wedge but there is some minor blistering hence four stars for comfort. These weren't cheap but I'll definitely be getting good use out of them this summer.

Was hoping to love these after reading so much about this brand, however they felt extremely stiff and lacked the comfortable fit of an espadrille.

Not a good fit for my narrow foot, though the toe was oddly narrow, probably need to size up to avoid toe overhang.

Too narrow for my feet. I had to return them. I ended up keeping a different lower version of the Castaners which were wider in the toe box.

I wore these all day and evening for my son’s graduation, and they were super comfortable. I am almost always a size 8 and these were true to size. My feet are slightly wider and I had no issues.

The fit was comfortable, but I don't like the rounded toe style. From the picture I thought it was more pointed. I do own a pair of Castener's that are more pointed in the front and I love them. I'll need to fly to Spain to find the style I like.

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.
