Antigua Casa Crespo

Wonderful family owned business with a huge floor to ceiling collection of espadrilles packed into a tiny shop. The prices are amazing for the quality of the shoes & they're unbelievably comfortable. Bought one pair for myself & one for a friend -- can't wait to get more the next time I'm in Madrid.

Amazing people. History for generations a high quality hand made real Spanish shoe.

What a great little shop. A piece of Madrid history and really great shoes as well. Much better than the ones in the centre claiming to sell alpargatas

Beautiful handmade shoes that are very comfortable with reasonable prices! I am obsessed with my alparagatas ❤️ I really recommend this place!!

I have purchased alpargatas from Casa Crespo twice and both times have received patient, helpful assistance. Their prices are fair and it’s a joy to be welcomed so warmly.

Nice quaint store and great customer service! The lady who helped us was very nice. She only spoke Spanish, but my husband's high school Spanish helped. She understood some English. They had a lot of styles for men and women. I am excited to try mine out.

Great little shoe store. The owner is wonderful. He told us about how the store had been in his family for four generations. We felt like family by the time we left. The shoes we bought are very comfortable also.

Beautiful and well crafted Espadrilles and similar shoes at very good prices. The owners are incredibly nice and helpful and it's wonderful to see that they are proud of the shop that is now run in the 4th generation since it opened in 1864 :)

I love espadrilles, so I absolutely had to buy a few pairs while in Spain. This shop is located in a nice, cute neighborhood and I almost walked by it and missed it. The store itself is small, but luckily we were the only ones there at the time. For some of the basic espadrilles, they didn't have my size which is a US women's size 6 or 36 EU. However, there was still a good selection of other styles for me to choose from. The employee assisting me was very patient and helpful. She checked to see how the fit was and let me know that the shoe stretches. We communicated fine even though she didn't speak English and I don't really know Spanish. I bought 2 pairs and thought the pricing was reasonable. I would certainly have bought more if I had room in my suitcase hah.

Cute little espadrille shop with a really friendly woman who helped me find the best size for me. There were a few styles I liked but I only left with one shoe--I figured I can always call and order more if they work out. They felt really comfy on and after a 0.5 mile walk in the new shoes, no chaffing at all. Happy with this purchase.

Omg! Show addict here! Had a great time shopping here with my family. Bought 3 pairs of shoes. The owner has been working here forever and his father (appears) to be the one who opened or maybe grandfather. Pardon me as my Spanish isn't the best and was trying to understand the shop owner. Anywhoooo we came at 515 pm on a Friday as the yelp site says they're open at 5 and kept searching for it but thought it was closed but it was just siesta til 515 pm!!! He may have heard us from the inside and then opened the door and we were able to shop til we dropped! Loved it!!

Walked in here because I happened to walk by and was in the market for alpargatas and ended up conversing with the wonderful owner for 30 minutes and getting two pairs. They have a great variety of styles. His family has been making them for 4 generations and I can't imagine going anywhere else next time I'm in Madrid.

This store is located in an area full of little stylish stores, and this has been the store many Spanish royals pick their espadrilles. It is a very down-to-earth place, and you can see the owner sitting next to you making pairs of espadrilles. They have lots of classic styles, and the prices are so reasonable (less than 10 euros to about 20 for cotton espadrilles, and about 30-50 for leather ones). Choices may not be as stylish as the ones you see around Plaza Mayor, but you know exactly where your product is made. Oh... and did I say that this store has been opened for decades?

Please don't buy overpriced espadrilles from department stores or cheap shoes from souvenir stands when you can buy the real deal from this shop. It can be intimidating to go into small stores like these but the shopkeepers are extremely patient and helpful.

Excellent experience at this lovely shop! I speak basic to intermediate Spanish and my husband speaks minimal and we still enjoyed conversing with the pleasant owners. And of course,we loved loved loved their selection of shoes. The shop is not to be missed when in Madrid . Take note it is cash only and hard to decide on just one pair :)
