If there's one thing that Massimo Dutti and Toms have in common, it is quality assurance.

The statement-making iterations of TOMS espadrilles will come and go, but the classic ones? Oh, they are going to stay, and there is no way one could stop liking them. And Truffle Collection has the best classic espadrilles. There is a little slit on the upper that is covered with an elastic to elevate wearability. Moreover, they come in three summery shades which we're huge fans of.
Size Range: 3 - 8
Composition: Canvas lining, synthetic sole
If you haven't been introduced to the general coolness of Rivir, let us change that. The brand started off with very cool printed canvas sneakers, and eventually ventured into espadrilles as well. Their prints are super summery, but we love the khaki style ones here. They have MANY other shades available too!
Size Range: Euro 36 - Euro 40, 3 Fit Options: Regular, Wide, Extra Wide
Composition: Fabric upper, fabric insole, Eva sole
I will perish before I stop recommending Birkenstock to every human I ever encounter. Let happiness into your life if you are uninitiated to the unadulterated comfort the brand comes with. The best part is that they have a slip-on variant as well. Shell out a bit more, because the pair will last a really, really long time.
Size Range: 36 - 46
Composition: Suede upper, natural rubber sole

The OG of all slip-ons, Vans belongs on this list. The comfort is unmatched, they last very long, and always land on the sole (the sorcery makes for great entertainment). From solid colours, to prints and patterns, and some very cool partnerships with brands like Disney, Vans has something for everyone.
Size Range: UK 6 - UK 8.5
Composition: Canvas
Well, the name speaks for itself. While espadrilles are always associated with casual occasions, this pair from Ralph Lauren takes the versatility of espadrilles to a whole new level. While the elegant leather will keep nudging you to be taken to parties, the crochet work on the upper keeps it A-OK for brunch-like plans.
Size Range: UK 3 - UK 9
Composition: Leather upper, jute & rubber outsole
Last-minute coffee runs? Full-power meetings? One pair that can keep your footwear woes behind for these and many other occasions is this one from Fizzy Goblet. The bow on top is just too cute, and not in a "it belongs in the kids' section" kind of way. Additionally, the padded double cushioning will definitely make it your go-to.
Size Range: 36 - 41
Composition: PU upper, TPR sole
