Soludos is a footwear company founded in 2010 by British native Nick Brown. The brand's espadrilles were inspired by traditional Spanish shoes, which Brown found he was missing when he arrived in New York City from the coast of Spain. He initially sold shoes online from his apartment and partnered with Laura Hoffmann, Opening Ceremony and Jason Polan to promote the brand. These espadrilles are purchased by retailers such as Ron Herman, Steven Alan, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's. They are also sold in pop-up shops during the summer months. Soludos shoes have been featured in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar magazines and have been worn by celebrities including Kate Bosworth, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner and Michelle Monaghan. For 2018, Soludos now sells a wide range of women's espadrilles, sneakers, loafers, boots, mules, and sandals, as well as men's smoking sneakers.
