The Classic Avarca in Champagne Glitter is handcrafted with a glitter finish over a leather base that moulds to your feet over time. The all-leather innersole provides natural breathability, while the flexible recycled rubber sole mimics the movement of bare feet. A secure slip-on heel strap keeps the sandal in place throughout the day.
These Menorcan sandals are crafted in a workshop originally founded in 1947, where shoe artisans have been lovingly crafting Avarcas for nearly eight decades. Originally designed for farmers to withstand the summer heat and rugged terrain on the Spanish island of Menorca, the style became popular everyday footwear in the 1960s before gaining international recognition.
Today, each pair of Shoeq Classic Avarcas are still produced by hand by skilled shoe artisans in small workshops on the island. These techniques have been handed down from family to family, with artisans continuing a tradition that has defined Menorcan shoemaking for generations.
Every pair carries the official "Avarca de Menorca" government guarantee seal, certifying authentic Menorcan origin and traditional production methods.
The Classic Avarca is the style that started Shoeq — the original design we built our entire brand on.

TRUE TO SIZE. Size conversion chart
LENGTH: Your foot should fill the whole shoe from front to back with no extra space at the heel
WIDTH: Should be snug when brand new, not uncomfortably tight. We use very high quality leather that will stretch and soften with wear. Classic Avarcas will be tight when they are new and will soften and mould to your foot as you wear them.
Please avoid sizing up in this style, as once the leather has softened and stretched the heel strap may slip off.
If you are unsure of sizing please consider using our SHOEQ CONCIERGE service to try different sizes at home

INSOLES
Our Classic Avarca range uses a bovine leather for the insole which has followed a 100% natural and chemical-free vegetable tanning process, therefore no finish is applied to the leather. This keeps the foot dry by allowing it to breathe naturally, which avoids perspiration & odors. The insoles will therefore naturally change colour and darken over time with wear and with exposure to light, sun and dirt.
To keep your insole as fresh as possible, ensure that your feet are always clean and dry before wear, as dirt transfer from feet to the insoles can cause marks on the leather.
To clean the insoles, we recommend using a gentle leather cleaning spray or cream to remove excess dirt but please note that dirt absorbed by the leather will not be able to be removed.
You can also spray your innersoles with a leather protecting spray when new to protect against water and stains.
UPPERS
Natural leathers: wipe with a wet cloth or a leather cleaning product. To extend the life of the leathers we recommend treating with a leather protector spray.
Glitters: gently spray with a little with fresh water to remove and dust or dirt from the surface.
Metallics: finishes are delicate and need to be worn with care to prevent scratches to the surface. Once scratched, it is not possible to remove or repair.

CLASSIC AVARCAS
Originally crafted over a century ago for the farmers of Menorca, Avarcas were designed as hard-wearing, supportive shoes to handle the rugged island terrain. Today, they’ve evolved into an iconic, fashion-forward staple that blends timeless style with everyday practicality.
At Shoeq, our Avarcas stay true to their roots—each pair is handcrafted in Menorca using premium, buttery-soft leather that moulds to your feet with wear. The signature open-toe and backstrap design keeps your feet secure yet breathable, while the flexible rubber sole (inspired by the original recycled tyre soles) offers all-day comfort and grip.
More than just a warm-weather shoe, Avarcas are a versatile essential—easy to slip on, endlessly wearable, and perfect for everything from daily errands to city strolls and weekend getaways.
Whether you're dressing them up or down, Avarcas bring together tradition, durability, and effortless style—made to take you anywhere, any time of year.
