About Your Avarcas
Meet the Avarca — the iconic leather sandals Menorcan peasants invented in the 50s and the rest of the world has been wearing since. Cut from soft nappa leather with a rubber sole that has a tyre-tread grip, this is the shoe you wear from the market to the beach to dinner without thinking twice. This pair in Sunshine yellow hits exactly the right note for this summer. Flat, fuss-free, and honestly better the more you wear it.

FAQ
Where are Minorquines made?
Minorquines are handcrafted in Menorca, Spain — the Balearic island where the original avarca sandal was born. They are produced by a family-run shoemaking workshop with generations of expertise.
Are they comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. The soft leather upper adapts to your foot over time, and the flexible rubber sole provides lightweight support and grip.
Do they run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for added comfort.
Are they suitable for very hot weather?
Absolutely. Originally designed for the Mediterranean climate, they are breathable, ultra-light, and comfortable even in high heat.
