As the seasons shift and brighter days return, the call of the outdoors grows stronger. With this renewed energy, our clothing choices naturally lean toward comfort and ease. Spring invites a lighter wardrobe, and just as we refresh our clothes, it’s the perfect time to update our footwear as well.
At Trunk, we’re turning to understated slip-on shoes and timeless styles — simple yet refined, soft yet durable — designed to carry you through the warmer months in effortless style and comfort. From traditionally made espadrilles to suede sneakers and classic boat shoes, discover our summer footwear roundup below.
The Summer Footwear Edit

01.
Doek Court Canvas Sneaker
A long-standing favourite at Trunk, the Doek Court sneaker blends Japanese craftsmanship with timeless design. Inspired by classic tennis shoes, it’s crafted from undyed Kasuri canvas — a durable, textured fabric traditionally woven in Kurume — and finished with a hand-vulcanised rubber sole for structure and longevity. A breathable cork footbed adds all-day comfort, making it a versatile choice season after season.

Castañer Pablo Canvas Espadrille
With its hand-stitched detailing and all-natural construction, Castañer’s iconic espadrille captures the laid-back spirit of summer. Set on a traditional jute sole, it offers a perfect balance of comfort and casual elegance — ideal for warm days, whether you're by the coast or navigating city streets.

03.
Paraboot Pacific Leather Sandals
The Paraboot Pacific Leather Sandals are a perfect blend of rugged functionality and refined design. With a durable rubber sole and three-strap vegetable-tanned leather upper, they’re made for comfort, breathability, and all-day wear. Whether you're exploring the city or heading seaside, these sandals are a summer essential — combining timeless style with the practicality warm-weather dressing demands.

04.
Novesta Marathon Running Sneaker
The Novesta Marathon sneaker is a timeless design rooted in classic athletic style. Crafted from a mix of suede, canvas, and mesh, it features a rugged lugged sole for excellent grip and comfort. We especially appreciate its clean, logo-free look — understated, versatile, and refreshingly free of branding.

05.
Paraboot Barth Suede Boat Shoe
The Paraboot Barth is the epitome of the classic boat shoe — a timeless silhouette rooted in 1970s nautical style. Hand-stitched and crafted with precision, it features a flexible, grooved sole for excellent grip and all-day comfort, while the low heel and signature leather laces add to its laid-back charm. This version, rendered in soft sand suede, elevates the design with a supple finish that feels as good as it looks. Durable yet refined, it’s a smart choice for everything from relaxed weekends to coastal getaways — where style and function go hand in hand.

06.
Castañer Pablo Suede Espadrille
At one time strictly reserved for the beach (and usually bought there), espadrilles have found new life inland thanks to practical updates such as durable rubber soles and calf leather linings. This version, from the family-run shoemaker Castañer, has been rendered in a soft and supple suede. The result is a more elegant and refined take, and one that can be worn confidently in the city with a shirt and smart trousers.

07.
CQP Jetty Suede Slip-On Sneaker
Crafted in Portugal, the Jetty is CQP's signature slip-on sneaker, blending vintage-inspired design with modern craftsmanship. To achieve a relaxed, timeless look, CQP sourced a suede material that mimics the texture and appearance of cotton canvas, giving it the effortless appeal of classic slip-ons while maintaining the luxurious feel and durability of suede. Featuring a rubber sole and leather lining, these sneakers promise lasting comfort and style throughout the season.
