About the brand
Soludos is a footwear brand founded in 2010 by Nick Brown in New York City, born from his nostalgia for the traditional rope-soled espadrilles he wore during childhood summers on the Spanish coast. The brand name cleverly combines "salud" (cheers) and "sol" (sun), reflecting its Mediterranean-inspired, sun-soaked aesthetic. Originally launched as an homage to authentic Spanish espadrilles, Soludos quickly became one of the first brands to offer well-made, fashion-forward versions of these classic shoes. The company has since expanded from a single flat espadrille style to over 20 different footwear silhouettes, including sandals and sneakers with "the soul of an espadrille." With prices ranging from $42 to $160, Soludos occupies the space between casual and dressy, creating versatile footwear for a laid-back lifestyle. After experiencing business challenges, the brand was acquired by new owners in May 2023 and is now headquartered in Austin, Texas, continuing its mission of celebrating joyful and mindful travel.
