Ria Menorca has been making them for over 60 years, from traditional models to current shoes, by always keeping the classic lines of these special shoes and by always trying to achieve the maximum comfort and style for your feet. And its sandals are worn by people of all ages and with different styles, thus being one of the most common types of shoes in countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, France or Great Britain.

So, without any further delay, let’s take a look and see what differences they show compared with traditional menorquinas. Shall we start?

New textures

As you can see at first glance, these sandals present a different texture from the menorquinas that we’re used to, even though they respect the traditional shape and design.

Firstly, the Old Linen Buffalo Tangon sandals made of printed linen fabric at the front, and of smooth and soft leather on the strap behind the heel. The linen is in a soft beige colour, with maroon, green and blue drawings, which represent different postal stamps. They’re a casual and original model, perfect to wear daily with jeans or a simple maroon, grey or green dress.

On the second image, you can see the Intertwined V90 Limoges sandals. The front that covers the instep is made of leather, more specifically of thin braided straps that create a flexible and comfortable fabric. The leather’s lacquered and presents a slightly shiny finish. Are they or are they not ideal? Wear them with light-coloured clothes, like beige, pale pink or white dresses, to go out with friends or to spend an afternoon with family.

Glitter and wedges

These two pairs are an example of the glamour that the new Ria Menorca collection has.

The Eclat Majorca sandals, made of several leather straps stitched together, are a pair of sophisticated shoes that are easy to match thanks to their copper, pale pink and white colours. And thanks to the shiny finish of the leather and their slight wedge, surely they’ll look amazing with your favourite dresses, thus having very elegant outfits.

Next to them are the Esther Glitter C/4 Black Multi wedge sandals, an innovative model, with a rubber wedge, in which are combined style and comfort, thus providing you a truly current look. The front fabric is covered with glitter in blue, turquoise and pink, and it gives you the shiny touch that sets the trend nowadays. These shoes are perfect for the most special events of the season, being able to wear them with party dresses, long skirts or trousers.

New designs

You’ve read it right! Ria Menorca reinvents menorquinas by creating a similar shoe, but that varies in shape and materials. These two pairs of sandals, made of leather, have slight natural cork wedges, and an interior insole made of soft leather. Moreover, on both cases, the piece that covers the front is more closed over the toes, thus leaving a small space at the front, big enough to let air in and so that your feet stay really cool.

On the first image, the Python Topos Natural sandals made of smooth leather decorated with dots across its entire surface. They’re perfect to wear daily with solid-coloured clothes, like red, orange, green or blue dresses or jeans and a shirt. In any case, they’ll give a cheerful and youthful touch to all your outfits.

Next to them, the Decoloured Metal sandals, with a glamorous and very original metallized shiny finish, slightly decoloured. This model’s more open than the previous one, since the piece that covers the toes is narrower. Furthermore, they’re shorter, thus having a slight wedge on the heel.  With them, you’ll have a chic and current style, perfect to wear with dark-coloured clothes, like short black dresses or long floral skirts.

Which one of all these shoes to you like the most? Is it the linen sandals, or do you prefer the ones with a shiny finish? Or are you a fan of the traditional menorquinas? Don’t worry! At EscapeShoes, you’ll be able to find, not only the most current and fashionable models, but also the most classic menorquinas.
