Rosa Platform Sandal
The Rosa is a lightweight espadrille wedge sandal designed for women who spend long days on their feet and need a shoe that keeps up without weighing them down. A soft linen elastic upper gently hugs your foot for a flexible, breathable fit that moves with you, and the 2-inch faux espadrille wedge with a 1-inch platform gives you a flattering mid-height lift.
What sets the Rosa apart is the sole. The faux espadrille outsole is made from rubber blown material, which means it's incredibly lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbing. Rubber blown soles are designed with tiny air pockets that reduce weight while adding cushioning, so you get all-day comfort without heaviness. It also provides durability and reliable grip, making the Rosa a smart choice for long walking days, travel, and packing light.
Inside, a cushioned comfort footbed delivers support from morning to night. The Rosa is fully machine washable, so caring for it takes zero effort. Handmade in Mexico with attention to detail, the Rosa is available in three linen stripe colorways (Pink, Navy, and Aqua) that bring a fresh, coastal feel to any warm-weather outfit.

What is the heel height of the Rosa?
The Rosa has a 1.5-inch faux espadrille wedge heel. It's a mid-height lift that's taller than a flat but still comfortable and stable for all-day wear.
Is the Rosa machine washable?

How does the Rosa fit? Should I size up or down?

Is the Rosa good for travel?
