Flat Sandals

Our notes

These are avarcas — the traditional flat sandals of Menorca, made the way they've always been made. Vegan flat sandals by Will's Vegan Shoes, expertly crafted in a family-run workshop in Spain that also produces traditional espadrilles, they follow a construction that's barely changed in generations: the upper's edges are sandwiched between the footbed and the outsole, and the whole sandal is stitched through around the perimeter. That contrast stitch line running around the footbed isn't decoration — it's the construction itself, holding everything together the way avarcas have been built on the islands for a century.

It's a wonderfully simple way to make a sandal, and the simplicity is the point. One piece of smooth Spanish vegan leather (100% PU) forms the open toe and sleek heel strap, soft and supple, made in Spain alongside the sandals themselves. There's no lining — the vegan leather sits directly against your foot, keeping them light and breathable through the hottest days — over a smooth, flat built-in footbed formed as part of the construction. Underfoot, a flexible TR outsole with a light tread gives grip for all-day wear, a modern take on the recycled tyre soles the original avarcas were famously cut from.

Just slip them on and go — nothing to fasten, nothing to fuss with. The same easy sandal Menorcans have worn for generations, made vegan.
