Avarcas are the rural footwear par excellence but they have also become the best companions of the summer. It is a shoe with a history that finally sneaks into the wardrobe of prescribers and those who know the most about fashion. And we say that they have finally arrived because they are comfortable and give an original touch to any style . They are suitable to wear on asphalt - the sole was made with old tires, now it is made of rubber - but also to take to the beach, for example. It is the perfect footwear to carry in our summer suitcase in all possible colors and details . When you try them on … you won't want to take them off!
In addition to being beautiful and versatile, avarcas are a type of sustainable footwear if you choose those that are made by hand. One of the most interesting brands is Pwani Menorca, which manufactures its avarcas with plastics extracted from the sea. You can find the most traditional designs, but also very original and urban models. And best of all, they dedicate 5% of their profits to cleaning the Mediterranean Sea.
Another of the best known brands on the island is Mibo, which has a factory in Menorca. In its collection we find from the most classic versions, in earth tones –and those that never fail and combine with everything like the traditional color of the skin–, to the most striking versions that follow trends. In the morning we wear chocolate colored ones and at night we bet on glitter in all its variations. They are ideal to wear with one of those cool summer dresses.
To choose the size … We better choose one more than usual, if we see that they are very tight, or we take our usual number and wear them with socks for a few hours. And we can choose, in addition to the leather, other materials also related to summer such as raffia or esparto.
Knowing the benefits of these footwear, Oysho has also released its own version of the avarca, allying itself with Ría , other of the most recognized brands on the island. They have been making avarcas since 1947 so they know a lot about it. In this case, in this capsule collection we find the most conservative models and colors –white, beige and gold–. Those that are easy to adapt to any personality and any style.
Other brands made in Spain have also opted for their own version , inspired by the usual one but with details that make it more unique. For example, Pitusas, a shoe brand from Cordoba, and on the other hand, Alohas, the Catalan shoe brand that is a real sensation among millennials . Versions of the same shoe, which are far from the usual, but which shows that the avarca is more fashionable than ever.
Read on and grab some new avarcas to stomp this summer.
