Handcrafted men's winter espadrilles made in the Basque Country

Donquichosse men's winter espadrilles reinterpret the traditional Basque espadrille to keep you comfortable when temperatures drop. Handcrafted in our Mauléon-Licharre workshop, they retain all the artisanal expertise that has made our manufacture renowned, while offering greater warmth, comfort, and protection for the autumn-winter season.

Designed with thicker materials and finishes suited for cooler days, they allow you to enjoy the comfort of handcrafted espadrilles well beyond summer. Elegant, robust, and timeless, they are ideal for everyday wear.

Traditional French craftsmanship

Each pair is made in our workshop using traditional methods passed down through several generations.

Our artisans craft each shoe with the utmost care:

• preparing the jute rope sole;
• cutting the materials;
• hand-sewing;
• hand assembly;
• quality control before shipping.

This craftsmanship ensures durable, comfortable, and unique shoes.

The expertise of the Basque Country

For over a century, Mauléon-Licharre has been the birthplace of the espadrille. Donquichosse carries on this tradition by making shoes that respect artisanal techniques while meeting today's needs.

Our winter espadrilles retain the authenticity of the Basque espadrille while incorporating materials better suited for use during the cooler seasons.

Choosing Donquichosse means supporting a French manufacture and preserving a living heritage.

Materials designed for winter

For this collection, we select materials that offer greater warmth and durability.

Depending on the style, you will find:

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

These materials maintain the lightness characteristic of espadrilles while providing better thermal comfort.

Everyday comfort

Donquichosse winter espadrilles are designed to be worn all day long.

The jute rope sole provides excellent cushioning and gradually adapts to the shape of the foot. Natural materials ensure good breathability, while the outsoles provide the grip needed for everyday activities.

The result is a lightweight, flexible, and comfortable shoe, even on the coldest days.

Timeless style

Men's winter espadrilles pair easily with any outfit.

They perfectly complement:

• jeans;
• chinos;
• corduroy trousers;
• casual outfits;
• smart-casual looks.

Their understated, elegant design makes them suitable for the office as well as weekends and holidays.

How to choose your size

Our winter espadrilles generally fit true to size.

If you plan to wear thick socks or are between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for optimal comfort.

Leather and natural materials soften slightly with wear and gradually adapt to the shape of the foot.

Responsible manufacturing

At Donquichosse, we prioritize local, responsible production.

Manufacturing in our workshop in the Basque Country allows us to:

• preserve renowned artisanal expertise;
• ensure consistent quality;
• limit transportation;
• produce in controlled batches;
• create shoes designed to last.

We believe that a beautiful pair of espadrilles should last you for many seasons.
