I've been looking to pick up some espadrilles the last month or so but haven't really found any great source. I like the striped Ibiza one's from that site. Any idea on the sizing, since they don't stock half sizes?

No problem. I had to get a new batch in January, and they had several different styles then. They don't have the traditional rope bottom, mind you (they're rubber instead), but for £2 a pair, and for beach use, they still look pretty good.

Yup, good call. Though H&M is like Savile Row compared to Primark!

Gucci was producing espadrilles each spring for the last few years but I'm not seeing any this year. Not that I would pay anywhere near the $350+ they were asking but they did look very nice.

It's actually French... Trust me on that one!

Running shoes or Old footwear. Mostly I used these myself and it performs perfectly. I wouldn't suggest this is you are swimming long distances as this footwear can be quite complicated.
