Step into summer days in style. Casual and elegant espadrilles with cotton textiles will delight you with their lightness and comfort. The black and white classic can be easily combined for any occasion. The sole is made of recyclable PVC.
Perky Nilo Alpargata are lightweight espadrilles (alpargatas) that combine comfort, simple design, and summer vibes. This type of footwear is popular for its effortless look – it looks natural, clean, and easily adapts to your style. Nilo Alpargata is perfect for days when you want to look polished but feel completely free. The silhouette is compact and elegant, so it doesn't look cumbersome with dresses or shorts. Thanks to their casual character, they quickly become the "automatic choice" you reach for whenever you're unsure of what shoes to wear with your outfit. It's a comfortable summer staple that looks good and doesn't overpower the rest of your outfit.
Usage
You'll mainly use Perky Nilo Alpargata in spring and summer when lightweight footwear is needed for everyday walking. They work great in the city, at work with a more relaxed dress code, on trips, and for weekend getaways. The espadrille style beautifully pairs with linen, cotton, and denim – wear them with loose pants, a midi skirt, dresses, or jeans with a rolled hem. They're practical for vacations as they don't take up much space and are easy to slip on. After wearing, let them air out, and if they get dusty, gently clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth (without soaking). For longer lifespan, avoid long walks in the rain or wet grass. When you want footwear that is lightweight, compact, and ready for the entire day, alpargatas are a safe bet.
Composition
Perky Nilo Alpargata are designed to be comfortable to wear, breathable, and easy to maintain. The upper is typically textile for this type of footwear, contributing to comfort in warmer weather and a relaxed look. The inner part is designed to be comfortable even when worn barefoot, which is especially appreciated in summer espadrilles. The outsole is lightweight and suitable for regular urban surfaces; the goal is a stable step and comfortable walking without unnecessary burden. The exact material composition may vary according to the specific variant or production series, so always follow the information on the product label or in the product details on the e-shop. The textile character of alpargatas helps the shoes naturally adapt to the foot and feel "soft" right from the first wear.
Packaging
Perky Nilo Alpargata shoes are delivered in a protective box that preserves the shape and surface during transport and storage. After unpacking, I recommend trying the shoes on a clean surface and walking in them for a few minutes – with espadrilles, it's important they fit comfortably and don't pinch in the toe or heel area. If you're taking them on a trip, you can store them in a cloth bag or wrap them among soft clothing in your suitcase to prevent the surface from scuffing. Off-season, store them in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. A small tip: lightly stuffing them with paper helps maintain their shape and prevents unnecessary deformation during long-term storage. Proper storage is a simple trick to keep the shoes looking nice for the next season.
Additional Info
Perky Nilo Alpargata are the ideal choice if you love a capsule wardrobe and are looking for versatile summer shoes that fit almost anywhere. Espadrilles feel relaxed yet polished – perfect for moments when you want the comfort of sneakers but a "cleaner" and more summery look. They also work as house slippers at the cottage or as quick shoes for errands when you don't want to deal with laces. If you're hesitating between two sizes, with alpargatas, it's often nice to have a little more space, as feet can slightly swell in the heat. And if you plan to wear them often barefoot, you might consider thin invisible socks for even better comfort throughout the day. Once you get used to the lightness of alpargatas, you'll want to have them at hand all summer.

About the brand Perky
Perky is a Brazilian brand that was founded in 2011. Since the beginning of production, the main product is a South American espadrille called ALPARGATAS. You have never heard this term and would like to know more? Alpargatas are characterized above all by the way they are made. One of the three main components of each shoe is a durable PVC sole. The other indispensable part of the shoe is the hand-woven fabric that is gradually wrapped around the sole until the final shape of the shoe is created. At this point, all that is missing is the insertion of a soft cotton insole, which is completely removable and can be exchanged by the wearer for an orthotic insole. Add to this innovative shoe construction original imaginative designs and the South American espadrilles called alpargatas are born.
Since then, he has created a plethora of sneakers and alpargatas, all sewn on the same design principle that makes the shoe so incredibly light and comfortable. Last but not least, it's very important to mention that we put emphasis on good working conditions for all employees, which is also reflected in the footwear of all employees - they all wear Perks :)
And now it's time to bring the lightness and comfort of Perky to Europe.
