Everything is handmade in Barcelona, using fair trade practices. Be aware that there are 2 shops within a few feet of one another - they each stock certain sizes only. Interestingly, every pair they have is on display, arranged by size. It's whole sizes only and 1/2 sizes can be achieved by using an insole. Prices range based on complexity of materials and design - plain black flats were €50-60 and multi colored mixed material shoes went as high as €110. You really do need to try them in as we found different materials fit differently on the foot. They were running a nice special where you could get a pair of shoes and matching buttery-soft leather bag for €150. Did I buy some shoes? Well, I will neither confirm nor deny that I'm wearing a pair right now and they're quite comfortable.

I wanted another Made in Spain shoes/boots. I found this store, during our walk from our hotel,…read morewhen we were on tour. I've already own 4 Pikolinos since the early 90's. My 2nd Pikolinos Made in China, was a return, after 4 hours of standing, bought at a high end shoe store in Portland. RETURNED IT. ALL my Pikolinos were Made in Spain. That is why, I was buying another. It took me a long time, try it on, walk on them, to make a decision. I only have room in my luggage for a pair of shoes/boots, but enough room for folding fans. One with lower heels, that made a wooden click-clock when I walked, or one with higher heels that's quiet when I walked. I picked these boots! Quiet is golden! It's got that 'Flamenco' Spanish look. :) As always, I found wearing them everyday, during Autumn, and I was already getting compliments, day one! The staff, very friendly, and patient with me. She spoke English!

This store carries Toni Pons brand espadrilles. There's everything from plain flat espadrilles for…read morelike 12 euro to fancier wedges for 70 euro. It was very busy when I was there. The sales people were friendly and helpful for the most part. I don't know much about Toni Pons shoes and whether they are good or not. I ended up buying 3 pairs, so we'll see how it goes after I wear them a while! Note that there are 3 locations of this store, all quite close to each other. One in El Born, one in Barri Gotic, and I forget the other. You can find it on their website. I went to 2 of the stores and they had almost exactly the same stock. (The other store--not the one this review is for--was empty!) After buying a pair, I changed my mind and went back the next day to exchange them for something else. I don't believe you can RETURN items, only exchange. So keep that in mind. Use the Yelp checkin for a free tiny espadrille keychain. :)

I bought four pairs of shoes on my trip to Italy and Spain but unfortunately just one from the Toni…read morePons/Lluis Manuel store in Barcelona. I say "unfortunately," because I purchased a gorgeous pair of espadrille wedges for just 79 euros (and Toni Pons retails for double the price in the US), and I'm so happy with the style + comfort level of this shoe! I only wish I had had more room in my suitcase to purchase at least one additional pair. Prior to visiting the Toni Pons store, I had gone to the famous La Manual Alpargatera store about a block or so away, hoping to purchase one of their famous espadrilles. Service was extremely poor there and it was very crowded, and I left without buying anything. The Toni Pons store caught my eye and fortunately I went in. While the store is also busy, it wasn't crazy chaotic like the La Manual store was, and service was actually helpful and decently friendly. The shoes at Toni Pons were also much more stylish than La Manual and there were many more choices, especially in leather! (I much prefer shoes with leather vs. canvas linings since leather helps my feet breathe.) I like my espadrilles so much that I just bought two more online at their online store. While I unfortunately I have to pay shipping, it's still much cheaper to buy it at their online store than via US retailers like Nordstrom or Zappos, who charge literally double the price. Highly recommend this store!
