Rubber espadrille soles?

[purly]

I snagged a pair of espadrilles on super sale from Neimans. The soles are apparently made of rubber. Either that or the leather sole was never attached.

Is it supposed to be like this?

I saw some of these on ebay and they all had soles like that.

Thx Katie.

Ooh, cute! They're ballet slippers and espadrilles all at the same time, two of my most favorite things!

I have these shoes and can confirm that that soles are indeed like that.
