With force.<br /><br />When esparto gets wet, it rots and stinks, and nothing can be done to avoid it. That's one of the reasons of the low price of <i>espardenyes</i> :-D<br /><br />Best from SpainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-17116276856116978462012-07-08T12:35:38.182-07:002012-07-08T12:35:38.182-07:00do the espadrilles fit true to size?do the espadrilles fit true to size?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745156020918393780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-88252997255171905392012-07-05T10:31:31.166-07:002012-07-05T10:31:31.166-07:00I was watching "Return of the Pink Panther&qu...I was watching "Return of the Pink Panther" last night and Clouseau was wearing some espadrilles.

I bet they are really comfortable as well. Might have to get some for myself and wear them around before they become the "next big thing," what with this celebrity endorsement and all! Right now I'm wearing shorts, and un-ironed Land's End oxford, (made in the US of A, thrifted,) and a pair of Sioux Mox moccassins that I copped at Bobby's for cheap. Sans socks. Carry on, Captain, and enjoy the nice weather!Christopher Redgatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08234961734623304619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-7790999177272610402012-07-02T06:53:28.988-07:002012-07-02T06:53:28.988-07:00"Spanish Bombs" would have been a good c..."Spanish Bombs" would have been a good choice too.<br /><br />Iggy Pop took a pot shot at The Clash in this Sunday's New York Times magazine.

Europeans know how to leave well enough alone, in most cases.<br /><br />That's the thing, when something is already great, let it be and let it stand on its own. That's how I feel about espadrilles. I am planning to get a pair of navy and white ones and a pair of indigo colored ones. <br /><br />To the naysayers, if you wear "go to hell" pants, why not sport espadrilles?(not necessarilly at the same time, though). After all, they are "go to hell shoes" if the likes of Pablo Picasso wore them.<br /> <br />If you have the confidence to wear "critter" pants, shorts, and yellow pants (just to name a few), then espadrilles shouldn't be much of an argument. But that's how I see things.C.L. Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795702262615807056noreply@blogger.com
