Menorcan sandals are a classic of Made in Spain fashion, which, over the years, has gained popularity outside of Spain as well. They are simple, functional, and timeless sandals, suitable for any setting and occasion.

Their traditional design is unmistakable: a simple rubber sole and a leather strap around the heel, the forefoot covered by a large strap, providing comfort and stability. However, the design of Menorcan sandals has evolved in recent years, with brands incorporating new and modern elements into the sandal, without losing its traditional essence.

Traditionally, they are made of natural leather, but modern versions made of synthetic materials also exist today. The exact date of the origin of abarcas cannot be determined, but it is assumed that they have been used in Menorca for centuries and have a long tradition on the island. They are known by various names, including abarcas, avarcas, menorquinas, or mallorquinas.

When choosing the correct size, it's essential that the shoe fits snugly without being too small or too large. This is the only way to ensure that the Menorcan shoe is comfortable and that the foot is supported and secure, preventing falls and other accidents.

In addition to being traditionally handcrafted sandals, Menorcan abarcas are very versatile, suitable for walking in different environments, such as the city, the beach, or uneven terrain. They can be combined with elegant garments as well as with simpler everyday outfits.

Abrazas can be worn by anyone, regardless of age or gender. Generally, all Menorcan sandals are unisex; however, due to the wide range of styles and colors, some pieces may be more popular with a particular gender.

Bright colors or animal prints, for example, can be considered women's menorquinas, while models with a simple, neutral design can be classified as men's menorquinas.

Además de ser sandalias típicamente artesanales, las menorquinas abarcas son muy versátiles, adecuadas para caminar en distintos ambientes como en la ciudad, la playa o por terrenos irregulares. Se pueden combinar con prendas elegantes, así como con conjuntos más sencillos del día a día. 

Las abarcas pueden ser llevadas por cualquier persona, independientemente de su edad o sexo. En general, todas las sandalias son menorquinas unisex; sin embargo, debido a la amplia gama de estilos y colores, es posible que algunas piezas sean más populares entre un género en particular. 

Los colores vivos o los estampados de animales, por ejemplo, pueden considerarse menorquinas mujer, mientras que los modelos con un diseño sencillo y neutro pueden clasificarse como menorquinas hombre.
