Summer and closed shoes don't go together hand-in-hand. That's mostly true, except in the case of espadrilles. A breezy cousin to ballet flats, they are defined by a fabric upper with a rope or jute side sole that ensures they stand apart from loafers and sneakers with their lightweight feel and cool look. Especially if you don't want dust and sun affecting your feet and leaving them with strange tan lines, a pair of espadrilles just might be the answer. To know if they are, choose your summer pair from these 8 espadrilles.
