Materials & Construction
We’ve crafted the Kendri Espadrille with quality materials that balance durability and comfort. The upper features either soft microfiber or genuine leather, depending on your chosen colorway, both treated to resist minor scuffs and maintain their appearance through regular wear.
The signature jute wrapping around the wedge platform provides authentic espadrille texture and visual appeal. This natural fiber adds coastal-inspired character while remaining surprisingly durable when properly cared for. Our memory foam footbed molds to your foot’s contours over time, creating a personalized fit that improves with each wear.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
The bandolino women’s kendri espadrille wedge sandals run true to standard US women’s sizing in whole and half sizes from 5 to 11, with select colorways available up to size 12. The adjustable ankle strap accommodates varying ankle circumferences and foot volumes, making this style particularly versatile across different foot shapes.
Width Options
Our Kendri is designed with a medium width footbed that works well for most foot types. If you typically wear wide-width shoes, we recommend ordering your usual size and adjusting the ankle strap to its looser setting for optimal comfort. The open-toe design provides additional room in the toe box compared to closed-toe styles.
Styling Versatility
We designed the Kendri Espadrille to serve as a wardrobe workhorse that elevates casual outfits while remaining appropriate for dressier occasions. The 3-inch wedge with 1-inch platform provides noticeable height while maintaining the walkability of a lower heel, making these sandals ideal for events where you’ll be on your feet.
Pair them with cropped wide-leg trousers and a linen blouse for a polished summer work look, or style them with a midi dress for weekend brunch. The neutral jute wrapping complements virtually any color palette, while seasonal colorways in the upper—from classic tan and black to on-trend coral and navy—allow you to match your personal aesthetic.

Questions About the Kendri Espadrille
The Kendri features a 3-inch wedge heel with a 1-inch platform at the forefoot, creating an effective 2-inch height difference that feels very manageable. The wedge construction provides stability by distributing your weight across a broader base compared to stiletto heels.
The platform reduces the pitch angle of your foot, making the walking experience similar to a lower heel. Most customers find these comfortable for extended wear, including standing and walking for several hours at events.
We recommend keeping these sandals dry when possible, as the jute wrapping can be affected by prolonged moisture exposure. While brief exposure to light splashes won't damage the shoes, extended time in rain or deliberately getting them wet may cause the jute to darken or potentially loosen over time.
The rubber outsole and treated uppers handle minor moisture better than the natural jute component. If your sandals do get wet, allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat before wearing again. For poolside or beach settings, we suggest choosing a fully synthetic sandal style instead.
The Kendri is currently offered in medium width only, but the adjustable ankle strap provides flexibility for different foot volumes and ankle sizes. Many customers with slightly wider feet find that loosening the ankle strap buckle provides sufficient room for comfortable wear.
The open-toe design also offers more accommodation in the toe box compared to closed-toe styles. If you typically require wide-width shoes, we recommend ordering your standard size and testing the adjustability of the strap. The memory foam footbed will also compress slightly with wear to conform to your foot shape.
If you're between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up, especially if you have a higher instep or wider forefoot. The adjustable ankle strap allows you to tighten the fit as needed, but there's no way to expand a sandal that's too small.
Customers report that the Kendri runs true to size, so if you typically fluctuate between sizes depending on brand, go with your most common size. Keep in mind that sandals don't stretch like closed-toe shoes, so initial fit is important. The memory foam footbed will compress minimally with wear but won't significantly change the overall fit.
Most customers find the bandolino women's kendri espadrille wedge sandals comfortable right out of the box, but we recommend a brief break-in period for optimal comfort. Wear them around your home for 30-60 minutes on the first day to allow the ankle strap to soften and the memory foam to begin conforming to your foot.
If you notice any pressure points at the ankle strap, adjust the buckle position slightly—even a small change can significantly affect comfort. The jute wrapping may feel slightly firm initially but will soften with 2-3 wears. Avoid wearing them for extended periods during your first outing; build up wear time gradually over several days.
For light scuffs on the jute midsole, use a soft-bristled brush (like a clean toothbrush) to gently brush away surface dirt in the direction of the natural fiber weave. For more stubborn marks, slightly dampen the brush with water and work carefully on the affected area, then allow it to air dry completely.
Avoid using harsh cleaners or soaking the jute, as this can damage the natural fibers or affect the adhesive securing the wrap. For the best long-term appearance, address marks promptly rather than allowing dirt to set in. Regular light brushing after wear will help maintain the jute's fresh appearance throughout the season.
The Kendri Espadrille works well for business casual and smart casual dress codes, particularly in warmer months when open-toe footwear is appropriate. The wedge height and classic espadrille styling provide polish suitable for professional settings that allow sandals.
For traditional business formal environments that require closed-toe shoes, the Kendri may not meet dress code requirements. However, for summer office settings, creative professional workplaces, or business casual Fridays, these wedges pair beautifully with trousers, midi skirts, and professional dresses. The neutral jute tone and quality construction give them a refined appearance appropriate for polished occasions.
