They slip on. An elastic gore sits under the pair of front tassels, so there are laces to skip entirely. You step in and the gore stretches to settle the shoe in place, then holds it snug as you walk. The tassels rest over the gore as a finishing detail rather than a fastening, which is why the pair goes on and off in one quick motion at the door.

The upper has a soft brushed suede look finish, cut with rows of small diamond perforations across the sides. Those cutouts give the flat its airy feel on warm days while keeping the casual, lived in texture of brushed suede. A contrast panel at the heel sets off the main color, and the pair of tassels sits at the front for a touch of character.

The flat comes in red, green, blue, black or white, each set on the same cork look espadrille style sole. Sizes run from 35 to 43, so there is a fit for most feet. The elastic gore at the front gives a little across the instep, which helps the pair settle snug whether you have a narrow or a slightly fuller foot.

A flat espadrille style sole sits low under the foot, finished with a cork look band around the edge and a row of contrast whipstitch topstitching that wraps the toe and heel. It reads casual rather than athletic, with a steady, even base that keeps you grounded through a day of walking on pavements and smooth indoor floors.

Yes. The rows of small diamond cutouts across the upper let air move through to the foot, so the flat stays comfortable as the day warms up. Pair that with the slip on ease and the low sole, and the shoe suits spring and summer outings, casual errands and relaxed weekends when you want something light and easy to wear.

Brush the upper dry with a soft brush to lift dust and freshen the surface, working in the direction of the nap. Keep the pair away from heavy rain, since the brushed finish and the cork look sole band stay cleanest dry. A quick brush after a few wears keeps the suede look even and the perforations clear.

The casual flat shape pairs easily with jeans, cropped trousers or shorts for a relaxed weekend look. The accent color at the heel panel and the cork look sole tie in with warm tones, while red, green or blue add a pop next to a neutral outfit. Black or white keep things simple for an everyday pairing you can reach for again and again.

The flat sits low with a steady espadrille style base, so there is a wide, even footprint under each step rather than a heel to balance on. The slip on gore settles the shoe snug without pinching, and the soft suede look upper flexes with the foot. Many wearers keep them on from a morning errand through a casual afternoon in town.
