Handcrafted women's winter espadrilles made in the Basque Country

Donquichosse women's winter espadrilles reinvent the traditional espadrille to accompany you throughout autumn and winter. Handmade in our workshop in Mauléon-Licharre, in the heart of the Basque Country, they combine the artisanal know-how that makes our manufacture renowned with warm and comfortable materials.

Designed for women looking for a shoe that is elegant, lightweight, and comfortable to wear, our winter espadrilles offer an original alternative to ankle boots and classic shoes. They retain the authenticity of the espadrille while being perfectly suited for cooler days.

French artisanal manufacturing

Each pair is crafted in our workshop using traditional techniques passed down through several generations.

Our artisans perform each step with care:

• preparation of the natural jute rope sole;
• cutting of the materials;
• artisanal sewing;
• manual assembly;
• finishing and quality control.

This artisanal manufacturing gives birth to unique shoes, made with passion and in respect of the traditions of the Basque Country.

The know-how of the Basque Country

For over a century, Mauléon-Licharre has been considered the capital of the espadrille. It is here that Donquichosse perpetuates a renowned know-how, by making handcrafted shoes that combine tradition and modernity.

Our winter espadrilles are the natural extension of this history. They take up the codes of the true Basque espadrille while incorporating materials suited for the cold season.

Choosing Donquichosse means supporting a French manufacture committed to preserving a unique artisanal heritage.

Warm and natural materials

To offer optimal comfort during winter, we select quality materials, renowned for their softness and resistance.

Depending on the models, our espadrilles are made with:

• full-grain leather;
• soft suede;
• wool;
• felt;
• thick textiles;
• comfortable linings;
• natural jute rope;
• rubber outsole.

These materials allow the feet to stay warm while ensuring excellent breathability and great flexibility.

Comfort designed for everyday life

Donquichosse winter espadrilles are designed to be worn all day.

The jute rope sole gradually adapts to the shape of the foot and offers natural cushioning. The soft materials provide a feeling of comfort from the first steps, while the outsole ensures good grip on everyday surfaces.

The result is a lightweight, pleasant, and easy-to-wear shoe, whether in the city, at home, or during your travels.

An elegant and timeless style

Women's winter espadrilles easily match all your seasonal outfits.

They can be worn just as well with:

• jeans;
• corduroy trousers;
• a knit dress;
• a long skirt;
• a wool coat;
• a casual or more dressed-up outfit.

Their elegant silhouette allows you to create authentic and feminine looks without sacrificing comfort.

How to choose your size?

Our winter espadrilles generally fit true to size.

If you are hesitating between two sizes or if you want to wear them with thick socks, we advise you to choose the larger size.

Leather, suede, and natural materials soften slightly over time to offer a fit perfectly adapted to your foot.

Our team remains available to advise you if you have any doubts about the size.
