espadrille
Espadrilles or alpargatas are normally casual, flat, but sometimes high-heeled shoes originating in the Pyrenees. They usually have a canvas or cotton fabric upper and a flexible sole made of jute rope. The jute rope sole is the defining characteristic of an espadrille; the uppers vary widely in style. In Quebec, however, ''espadrille'' is the usual term for running shoes or sneakers.〔http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-espadrilles.htm〕
==Etymology==
The term ''espadrille'' is French and derives from the word in the Occitan language, which comes from ''espardenya'', in Catalan or ''alpargata'' in Spanish. In Catalan it meant a type of shoes made with ''espart'', the Catalan name for esparto, a tough, wiry Mediterranean grass used in making rope.〔 Its name in the Basque region is ''espartina''.〔(''Espartina'' in the official website of the community of Soule municipalities )〕
