Porter Platform Espadrille Wedge Sandal
The Porter is a platform espadrille wedge sandal with a feminine twist strap that gives it standout personality. The twisted front strap sits across the forefoot with a sculptural, knotted detail that elevates a simple silhouette into something you'll actually want to show off. The open-back, slip-on design means no buckles, no straps, no fuss.
At 2 3/4 inches with a 3/4-inch platform, the Porter is one of the tallest shoes in the Charleston Shoe Co. lineup. The platform offsets the wedge height so it feels more like walking in a lower heel, giving you noticeable height with real stability. The faux espadrille wedge adds a beachy, resort-ready look that pairs with everything from maxi dresses to cropped jeans.
Inside, a padded insole cushions every step, and the open-back design makes the Porter a natural choice for women with bunions or anyone who prefers a sandal that doesn't press against the heel. It's easy on, easy off, and easy to style.
The Porter is also machine washable. Toss them in the wash and they come out looking fresh. Handmade in Mexico, the Porter is available in 8+ colors from classic neutrals like Linen, Navy, and Black to bold options like Pimiento and Red Multi-Stripe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Porter good for bunions?
Yes. The Porter's open-back design doesn't press against the heel, and the twist strap sits comfortably across the forefoot without squeezing. It's a great option for women with bunions who want a slip-on wedge sandal.
Is the Porter machine washable?
Yes. The Porter is fully machine washable, making it easy to care for after beach days, travel, or everyday wear.
What is the heel height of the Porter?
The Porter has a 2 3/4-inch faux espadrille wedge with a 3/4-inch platform. The platform offsets the wedge height, so it feels more like walking in a lower heel while still giving you noticeable lift.
How does the Porter fit? Should I size up or down?
If you are a half size, we recommend sizing up.
What's the difference between the Porter and the Cannon?
The Porter is a slip-on wedge sandal with a twist strap and no ankle strap, while the Cannon has crisscross elastic straps and a wide ankle strap for a more secured fit. The Porter is taller at 2 3/4 inches with a 3/4-inch platform, compared to the Cannon's 2-inch heel. Both are machine washable and made in Mexico. Choose the Porter for a taller, easy slip-on look, or the Cannon for a more locked-in fit.
Does the Porter stay on your foot?
Yes. The twist strap holds securely across the forefoot. Because it's an open-back wedge sandal with no back strap, the fit relies on the strap tension, so sizing correctly is important. If you're between sizes, size up for the most comfortable fit.
Can I wear the Porter to a dressy event?
Absolutely. The Porter's platform wedge and twist strap detail give it a polished look that works for weddings, rehearsal dinners, brunch, and cocktail events. The Black and White colorways are especially versatile for dressier occasions.
