The Avarca: The perfect slip on

The avarca has been handcrafted in Menorca since the mid-1800s.

Two straps of hand-cut leather, a sole made from recycled rubber and a design built to last.

Born for farmers and shepherds who needed something tough, comfortable and built for any terrain, the avarca has remained a staple of Mediterranean life ever since.

Avarcas are for living in.
From beach walks to dinner plans.

All year round, for almost every occasion.

Ours are proudly Pons, handcrafted in Ciutadella, Menorca, since 1945.

The artisans behind Avarca Pons

The Pons family has been making avarcas in Menorca since 1945. Three generations of shoemakers — same family, same workshop, same hands.

Today, the third generation continues the family tradition with the same pride and attention to detail. Every pair is looked after individually — from the raw materials, sourced 100% from Spain, to the final finish. No shortcuts. Just people who genuinely care about what they make.

Avarca Pons is now worn in countries across the world. But every single pair still leaves the same workshop in Ciutadella
