The Sole of Spain: For the Love of Shoes
As self-confessed ‘shoeaholics’, Laura and Nalini delight in exploring one of the fashion industry’s best-kept secrets: Spain’s “shoe triangle” — the Valencian towns of Elda, Crevillente, and Elche where master craftspeople continue to create luxury footwear for the world’s top brands – a tradition that has evolved over generations and traces its roots back centuries.
The ladies recount their recent visit to Elda’s remarkable Museo del Calzado (Footwear Museum), where they inspected celebrity shoes and rare historical collections, and gained insights into the historical significance of the industry.
Meanwhile, in the Slice of Life segment, the pair enjoy handpicked wine and locally sourced dates. Plus, in tribute to Elda’s excellent Italian restaurant (Ché Ragazzi), burrato cheese. As always, Laura keeps Nalini on her toes with an entertaining ‘Spanish Phrase of the Day’, which is also footwear-themed.
my shoes are made of spanish leather. My socks are made of silk. I wear a ring on every finger. I wash myself in milk. That is dh lawrence, sons and lovers. A woman can carry a bag, but it is the shoe that carries the woman Christian Louboutin. Nicki Minaj has a better booty, but I have better shoes, said Rihanna. All right, laura, quick question for you before we kick off this episode. What is the most expensive pair of shoes sold ever? Like the price, no, the shoe.
Speaker 2:I want to say I know that Stuart Weissman, I believe, made one that was made with diamonds for the Oscars.
Speaker 1:No it is sold at auction in December of 2024. And it was one of the four surviving pairs of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland and the Wizard of Oz, sold at auction for a price of $32 million US.
Speaker 2:Wow, yeah, take me home. Welcome to Made in Spain. Welcome to Made in Spain, episode two, season two. We are your co-host, laura Senior-Garcia. I'm Nalini Sharma, and we cannot wait to share with you our love for shoes in this wonderful episode that we have constructed for our audience. Really focused on shoes and the shoe industry here in Spain, manufacturing brands, etc. So we're going back to some fashion, I would say, focused content for this episode, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Awesome.
Speaker 2:Okay, so our shoe journey literally began by driving to the town of Elda, so the triangle, you could say, of towns that are in the Valencian community, that are very much focused on shoe manufacturing and have a tremendous history of shoe manufacturing, which we'll get into a little bit more, are Elda, crevillente and Elche. So, traditionally these towns, you know, for many, many years they were most of the industry and the focus of the people who lived there. The inhabitants of the town, most of them, worked in the shoe industry.
Speaker 1:I mean. The history of Elda is that she said what 90% of the people, that she said at one point, point exactly 50% of the town.
Speaker 2:So let's just say the town has X amount of thousands. Exactly 50% of the town was working in the shoe manufacturing industry and probably the other half was children and people who are not working. So you know, maybe restaurant owners, etc.
Speaker 1:So most of the people, the whole adult population in a sense.
Speaker 2:So, if you want a picture in terms of why we're speaking about this, there has been a lot of talk on the internet, on YouTube, on socials, about Ubrique, which is this town in the south of Spain that specializes in leather treatment and craftsmanship and manufacturing for handbags, handbags, luxury handbags Exactly High-end luxury handbags, the LVs of the world, etc. Etc. Although cannot fully disclose, you know who makes what there because of the confidentiality agreements. Elda, crevillente and Elche are kind of in a similar position in this space where, although there's still a lot of manufacturing for not so much the high-end luxury that goes on, there is some manufacturing that goes on for the very high-end luxury. So it's kind of like the ubrique of shoes, absolutely. And also we found out that some of the leather that they're using to manufacture the shoes is coming from ubrique but it're actually, you know, focused on instead of handbag shoes.
Speaker 1:It's very interesting because if anyone has been to Alda, first of all, I think you have to have an intent to go there. It's not a town that you just there's no beach, there's no beach and it's I mean, it's in the interior, it's inside. So you have to purposely drive there. You have to have a reason to drive there, which we did. Find a reason.
Speaker 2:We went to the shoe museum and we'll talk a bit about that, but mind-blowing how you can have such an institution in a town that maybe doesn't have so many attractions. No, but that you really unless you kind of somehow know about it, it's not on the radar. Like people know to go to valencia, to the oceanographic and they know that stuff, but that you really, unless you kind of somehow know about it, it's not on the radar.
Speaker 1:Like people know to go to.
Speaker 2:Valencia to the Oceanographic.
Speaker 1:Of course.
Speaker 2:They know that stuff, but to go to if you are. And I will declare myself here I am a shoeaholic, I am a shoe lover, I've always been. I'm wearing one of my first, most coveted pairs of shoes, which I'll show at some point because I can barely move in them, but most coveted pairs of shoes which I'll show at some point because I can barely move in them. But definitely for me it was such an experience and such a journey to go to that shoe museum. And also from a personal standpoint, you know my grandmother and my great grandmother.
Speaker 2:They were all somehow involved in the shoe manufacturing industry and I have a lot of people in my family that still are involved on my mom's side, right from Elche, from Elda. I asked my mom this weekend how much did grandma get paid to make the soles of the Valencianas, which were like the you know, the mallorquinas, kind of like what you're wearing now, but the flat ones? I said, oh, I don't know, but it must have been, like, you know, one portion of a peseta at the time. You know, just such a little bit. But she had six kids, she was trying to support her family, so they brought her extra work to the house when she could no longer go to the factory.
Speaker 1:So it is an industry that has carried that area for a long time think what's interesting the reason that you have high-end luxury brands manufacturing here in Spain is for the artisanship that has been passed down from generation to generation and also the quality of the goods and the confidentiality. Because we started to do a little bit of research to see if we could actually find out definitively the brands that are manufacturing here, and we spent how many two hours, three hours maybe with these experts who know the answers but she wouldn't really tell us.
Speaker 2:She just kept smiling yeah, okay, next question. Next question.
Speaker 1:Do they make these shoes here? And it's like no, I can't say anything. Next question Do they?
Speaker 2:make these shoes here and it's like, no, I can't say anything Online. There are some journalists that have published some articles that do say that Hermes, gucci, louis Vuitton and a number of the brands in that range are all using one or two factories, in Elda specifically. So, again, we couldn't visit the factory. No one picked up the phone, no one answered our emails because it is confidential. However, you know we do. There are. There is evidence that they are manufacturing there.
Speaker 1:And it's for the leather too.
Speaker 2:It's the quality of the leather the quality of the goods and also because there is still very much a manual process involved in manufacturing high-end shoes. What they were explaining to us at the wonderful shoe museum the curator of the museum was actually explaining that the it's almost like, genetically, people are, you know, through generations and generations of, particularly women. Working on how they put these very, very fine pieces of leather together is something that they've learned from when they were little. There's a university there that helps people learn how to work with that leather and how to make the shoes. So I think the attraction for the brand is probably the same as what attracts them to do the bags in ubrica is, you know, the end-to-end process is going to be done at the utmost quality right and it's just.
Speaker 1:It's just so funny that when you go to this town not a lot, I mean we drove in the it's one main road because my son was google mapsing, yes, in the back, and she kept asking him which way do I turn? And he said if there's one road in, just stay on the road it also.
Speaker 2:The other thing that's uh pretty fascinating is that you know you would think, oh, all this stuff's getting manufactured here, maybe we're gonna find some cool stores that we can, you know, go.
Speaker 2:No, no like okay is there like a such and such store here? No, there's no. And we I know from people in my family that you know sure advisement also barely feltman. There's a lot of very high-end shoe brands. None of those stores exist there. And obviously the other thing again around the confidentiality, there's no way to go and purchase directly from the factory.
Speaker 1:No, we were really hoping that would be the case, but no, some cowboy boots.
Speaker 2:You know, some cowboy boots you can go and purchase directly from the factory and we did go to a store, but they only have sample sizes.
Speaker 2:Yes, so you have to be that size, my wonderful 41, and the sample size is a 36. It ain't happening 36 or 37. I think the other thing that's interesting on this luxury brand piece it's like OK, so why would the brands not really declare that they're making the shoes in Spain? So I'm wearing YSLs. Yeah, they're made in Italy. Okay, maybe they are made in Italy, maybe they're not, I don't know, because sometimes, even though it says made in Italy, it may be that they put the last piece of the shoe there and then maybe the rest of it is made here. Who knows? But the point is that I think we want to romanticize yeah that oh, you know you're buying this gucci shoe.
Speaker 2:There has to be this like tiny little italian factory where I?
Speaker 1:I don't think it's the romantic side, I think it's the dollar sign side so the reason that they want to charge that money, um and I'm guilty of purchasing products in these stores is because it's the cachet behind it that it was made in Paris and Paris has that je ne sais quoi.
Speaker 2:It's like good luck finding a factory in Paris. It's 400 euros for a hotel room any given night of the year.
Speaker 1:So I think that's what it comes down. I mean, I think the romance comes in the, maybe in the advertising, yeah, but when it comes down to it, they want. They want towns like that, where maybe the people making it don't necessarily even have an affinity for it. They might just think that like, look, who are these stupid people that are going to pay 2000 euros for a pair of sandals? Absolutely.
Speaker 2:So one thing as well with this, through the visit to the shoe museum and also something we wanted to bring up in this deep dive on this episode about shoes, is really fascinating. The history of shoes, and also not just the history, but how particularly both women and men actually because we kind of spoke about that a little bit relate to shoes, maybe more even so than than clothes. Like shoes through history have been a social status kind of symbol. I I was telling Nalini that Louis XIV decided that only him and his court could wear red shoes.
Speaker 1:Everybody else was not allowed to wear red shoes, and men traditionally wore high heel shoes.
Speaker 2:Yes, and we talked about the saying, you know to be well healed meant that you know you were well off or you know that you had money to spend. You could say so. I think it's quite fascinating. What was your kind of most shocking moment of the shoe museum that you think was like um?
Speaker 1:I would say just the amount of shoes that they had. There are over 4 000 pairs of shoes in the collection. I mean, it's a astounding, john paul, yeah, they have the shoes. They have um princess diana, they have her um the, the mold that is used to make her shoes, and queen elizabeth, they have. I mean, it just is. It's not endless, obviously, but it goes on for a long time it's a good two-hour visit if you are into it.
Speaker 2:You know, and if you want to see the machines, the sewing machines, the collection of sewing machines and tools with which they make the shoes, are absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 1:I found it interesting because when you're in there and you're looking at all these sewing machines and where they come from, some of them are from England, Some of them are from different parts of Europe.
Speaker 2:Germany.
Speaker 1:America and you're walking through and you're looking at the dates and the person who donated it and then you think maybe this sewing machine like sewed flags or uniforms for soldiers, or they were in wars and, like the women use them. There's a story behind each machine. Obviously they don't know what the story is, but it is a very different experience, I would say.
Speaker 2:I think one creepy moment that we had in the museum because obviously there's a lot of things there you know, you imagine, you know walking someone's shoes, you know it's even you have like energy from the people who kind of wore those and used the furniture. We walked up to the books from one of the factories that had donated all the furniture.
Speaker 2:And it's the check and balance book and it was open to the exact date, the 14th of February, because, you know, love of shoes, we went on Valentine's 1953. Which it was kind of like whoa, that's weird. And again, coincidences and statistically, you know, do exist. But I thought that was really something neat and we asked the curator like, did you do this, did you do this on purpose? Where you put the data?
Speaker 1:she said no. She said no, but she also said that she's she's seen things. She's seen things that she doesn't like to be there in the evening by herself, for sure so, but what a funny and interesting building because it is in the center of the little town. It's a huge building, um, and it's just open to the public. You can go in and spend the morning looking at shoes.
Speaker 2:They modernized the first floor, yeah, and they're gonna do the same with the other floors, so architecturally it's also very interesting, yeah, so definitely think that you know if you're in the area, or even if you have to travel for like an hour or something, it's definitely worth visiting and they treated us fantastically.
Speaker 2:one thing that I think it touched my heart that you know the curator from the museum told us about the history of the forgotten women, because, as the industrial revolution around shoes was happening, it was a time where it wasn't really accepted to be a lady that owned a shoe factory, or even be the one that was designing or anything of significance other than the actual manufacturing process. So a lot of them had to hide behind their husband, behind their brothers, their fathers, even though they were the ones that were running it or owning it, and they have a space, a wall dedicated to the women, and her grandmother's picture was up there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, her grandmother's picture is up there. So, definitely a very, very cool experience. I want to mention a couple of the brands, maybe yeah that I think are made in spain, that you know, definitely recommend people to check out, so definitely for sure. Uh, the lodi brand l-o-d-i yep, they manufacture and design here one that I was a little bit disappointed about was actually alma and pena, because it's one of my favorite brands. Their shoes are super cute they're super cute, but they're made in China.
Speaker 2:So you know, that's something that you know, even though you would think, oh, you know, they're pretty expensive, so maybe they're manufactured here. They're not, they're manufactured in China. But they kind of push the whole Spanish brand thing because they have an office and because so those two and I, like I said, even though the manufacturer in china, almanpena, is still, you know, it's a still a kind of nice shoe yeah, no, they're beautiful, I love them, and also um tony pons.
Speaker 2:Yeah, do you wanna do you wanna tell our audience what happened when we walked into the tony pons, or embedded, or it seems like we go to benidorm a lot. I don't know we're almost there, but it always comes up. It's like a love-hate relationship with this town.
Speaker 1:Somehow we were there again and we walked into. I think they just opened the store Tony Pons in Benidorm. It's a new store. How would you describe it? There's some very traditional shoes, but still kind of hip.
Speaker 2:They're very fashionable. Yeah, they're very fashionable. Yeah, they're very hip. They're like these new mallorquinas yeah, they're very, very fashionable. You're wearing them today I'm not sure how we can show them on camera without doing anything weird, but we'll.
Speaker 1:We'll maybe take a picture and post it on socials later, but the as soon as we walked in the store, the woman said made in spain, not in china. And we both just stopped and we were like, okay, good morning to you too.
Speaker 2:So we walked in and, literally, and then, as we were in there looking around at shoes, every person that came in she's like made in Spain, not in China, so I'm like okay, they have told this poor lady she has to say this to every person that walks in the store like a hundred times a day. Yeah, so it's that commitment to try and bring some of this high-end manufacturing back to this country well, we tried to go to picolinos, yes, but our email was answered.
Speaker 2:But they were a little bit reluctant, yeah, so but their brand is.
Speaker 1:It's a lovely brand. They make um boots and mostly boots.
Speaker 2:I would say no they're very well known for boots, but campers same thing. There's a lot kind of like high quality, high end leather. I have to mention this about the shoe museum as well the Venetian shoes.
Speaker 1:Oh, they were unbelievable.
Speaker 2:They were so cool, kind of like I would say, drag queen shoes of you know Venetian times, I guess people didn't want to spoil their nice outfits.
Speaker 1:If you were part of the kind of high society with the dirty water and they wore these shoes that were like a meter high, yes, so what I found interesting is that when you start sort of from the beginning in the museum and you start looking at all the shoes and you think of shoes of today's high-end designers, they're basically copies of shoes throughout history over and over again, so I mean you can see each does.
Speaker 2:You can look at a pair of shoes from 250 years ago and say, uh yeah, I know I can see the design in today's society, in modern times one thing I will say that was interesting to me is that I told millennia and I mentioned to the curator several times have you noticed how small these shoes are? And they were very narrow, and she said, yes, actually it turns out, I guess human beings, we, our feet, are getting bigger you know, over generations.
Speaker 2:I mean, some of the shoes were so narrow that you would think wouldn't even fit on like a child.
Speaker 1:No, I guess they or they bound they would bind their feet.
Speaker 2:It's kind of like a corset for feet.
Speaker 1:They were trying to make that and they also have sports um basketball shoes they had.
Speaker 2:John Ram basketball shoes.
Speaker 1:They had john ram his shoes yeah, which are a player gigantic by the way he has very large feet. That's all I'm gonna say moving on.
Speaker 2:All right, perfect. So we are going to our slice of life, okay. Slides of Life, episode two, season two for the love of shoes, yes, okay.
Speaker 1:Cheers, first Cheers. I'll note that there is more in my glass than yours. Laura, what are you wearing on your feet?
Speaker 2:All right, I'm going gonna actually take them off for people who are watching us on youtube or on our socials. This is uh yves saint laurent shoe. It's uh made in italy and I think I've had these for over 10 years. Wow, beckham really popularized this shoe. Victoria beckham, victoria beckham, not david beckham. Victoria beckham really popularized the shoe. I think she had them like in every color. Uh, story goes. Legend goes that she actually got Botox on her toes, that so she was able to walk around in them she says.
Speaker 2:A quote from Victoria Beckham is that she cannot think unless she has high heels on well, let's put it this way, in these heels you cannot think after a little bit of having them on, I love these shoes. I was walking around a mall in houston one time and I was actually with my father and he wanted to treat me to something and he said do you, is there anything you want? And I said oh, those ysl shoes are so beautiful and he actually got them for me. So they, you know, and every time I've tried to wear them, anyone that I'm with they're like where are you going in those?
Speaker 2:because it's like they're so crazy high, so they're the kind that you know you'll have like on your, basically on a stand or something, and you admire them, but you can't really walk anywhere in them. Yeah, and I think it's interesting because if you think about before COVID and after COVID, the whole shoe thing has, you know, made a big shift where most of us are quite comfortable investing money into, like high-end trainers, especially men, you know.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness, that's a whole other topic one of the most popular podcasts and youtube channels is you know guys like buying, you know really high-end trainers, which I think?
Speaker 1:it's good though. I think it's good because it's raised the level someone else needs to spend the money, but it's raised the level for everybody oh yeah also, I think, the effect of social media that you are always taking pictures. People are always taking photos, so you kind of have to dress like elevate your style.
Speaker 2:Well, it's kind of funny because some people like, oh you know, people just dress up for social media. I'm like, so what? The point is that everybody's more dressed up and we all look a little bit nicer, instead of maybe just showing up to an event or something more.
Speaker 1:You know, sloppy, because you know you're kind of like so slice of life.
Speaker 2:Super happy to be drinking this wonderful white wine that was recommended by one of our newest collaborators, leti, from Handpicked Wines.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they have a really interesting story. I think it's a very similar partnership a Spanish and an expat, two women together In Madrid. In Madrid, they were looking to collaborate, to work in the wine space and they came up with this idea. It's a subscription service Every two months you get a box, six bottles, yeah so it's a box, six bottles of wine which are literally handpicked but different, so not the same six.
Speaker 2:So today we actually told Leti that we were going to be eating some burrata, and we'll explain why we are having an. Italian cheese in our Made in Spain podcast and she recommended this white wine is a la bola ribeira sacra from 2021, and it's delicious yeah, it's not very sweet, because she knew we were gonna be having it with something sweet. So encourage you to go check out handpicked wines. Uh, I think they're all over socials. We'll leave a link as well, and you know, I think it's a very, very cool concept.
Speaker 2:Yeah you know kind of bringing a community of people who are wine curious together yeah, and what's interesting, uh, that she said is that young people are not into wine, not even just wine, a lot of times not drinking a lot of alcohol although I don't know which young people she's talking about but apparently not a lot of wine. So you know, they're trying to also bring back this culture of wine, which is, so you know, tied to the identity of Spanish life. The other thing as well that I think is worth mentioning about the hand-picked wine story is that each one of the wines that they do hand-pick has an underlying theme of sustainability in some way or other. So it's either the way it's made or the way it's packaged.
Speaker 1:You know there's a theme around sustainability around, yeah, and they do their research because she said in a few weeks she's heading down closer to us to visit a winery to learn about it. So, yeah, it is really handpicked.
Speaker 2:So cheers to Leti. Thank you, Leti, Thank you very much. Okay, so now let's talk about why we picked Burrata.
Speaker 1:Well, on the way when we decided that we're going to Elda, I said I'll find a restaurant so we could have lunch there. I did a simple Google search Elda restaurants Nothing more than that Specialized research. And Chez Ragazzi came up, which has been voted one of the best Italian restaurants in the community of Valencia. Which is to me really funny that it was in Elda, and I'm not knocking Elda or anything like that, but it's just. I mean, you have to go to Elda to go to this restaurant.
Speaker 2:Yeah, way, I mean. So I would say the restaurant is way, way up there. Yes, I mean so I would say the restaurant is way, way up there. Yes, and again, you're competing against in places like Valencia that have hundreds of Italian restaurants, so it is very significant that you know they're like actually, I believe at some point one year they won like best Italian restaurant of the Valencian community, I mean it was so.
Speaker 1:I doubted it to the point where I made my son. I made the reservation and then I made my son call to confirm. And I kept telling him no, ask him because he speaks Spanish. I'm always like no. No, you need to ask them.
Speaker 2:Are you in Elda?
Speaker 1:And then he said no, no. And I said no, no, ask him for sure, it's in Elda, not in Alicante. And he said no, no, we're in Elda, elda, okay. And I still doubted it until we were walking. After we parked the car to see the distance from the museum to the restaurant, I was like, okay, it's actually here, but it's an authentic italian restaurant. They have a wood fire, a pizza oven. Pizza was oh yeah, on fire.
Speaker 2:So that's why we decided to do a little.
Speaker 1:So it's Burrata but we also have the date.
Speaker 2:Now, if you remember, at the beginning of the episode we talked about Elche as part of that triangle Crevillente, elche and Ella. And Elche has a very, very special garden which they call the Huerto del Cura, and that is where they have all these palm trees with dates. So dates are extremely prominent in the culture in Ilche, which are cool, yeah, and you can go and buy like fresh dates, like the fresh yellow ones that come straight from the palm tree.
Speaker 1:Oh dates. I mean, I've never really been a fan, but I have to say I actually like these Food of God, yeah.
Speaker 2:How was?
Speaker 1:it Good.
Speaker 2:So Nalini's made the burrata here with some toast, and I've got white stuff all over my face. This is what happens when you eat stuff while you're doing a podcast. Oh, it tastes good. So, yeah, burrata with some fruit, with some very strong olive oil that we picked this time, accompanied by some dates it's actually a really nice recipe.
Speaker 1:I tried. I mean, other than the cheese, everything else is local the fruit, the, the basil, the dates, the olive oil.
Speaker 2:It's a nice little combo I love some basil yeah before we go to the face of the day, I do want to give a shout out, so I'm just gonna have a little bit of a sip of wine. So for those of you who are watching us on youtube, when we were leaving the shoe museum, yeah, we said, okay, do you have a shop or do you have something we can take with us? Yeah, it's like man, you're not, you know, really overselling any. Can we buy something? And they said, okay, there's these little shoes that we have that are key rings, and it's a real shoe. It actually is made from leather and a 94-year-old man makes them from start to finish by hand, and they actually have on the bottom Museo del Calzado in Elda. So they actually have like the stamp so.
Speaker 2:I just think I just, you know, connected with that. It's like, oh my goodness, you know, here's this, like someone who could very well be retired and it's still making, like you know, little key rings for the museum, so very it's very nice.
Speaker 1:and also, when I was leaving, the woman who's in charge of the museum she showed me a little wallet that was stamped with the museum's logo and she told me she's like, look, this leather is the same.
Speaker 2:Does this red leather remind you of anything? I'm like, well, the canvas letter from Louis Vuitton. Yeah, she said it's the same leather. Yeah, it's like. Don't tell anyone, we said that.
Speaker 1:But we just told Are you ready?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm ready. So episode two, sentence of the day from Pablo Picasso, Just so that you can see that we also bring in culture into these conversations. Okay, the sentence is Dame el zapato y yo pintaré a la persona.
Speaker 1:Okay, give me your shoe.
Speaker 2:Give me the shoe.
Speaker 1:The shoe.
Speaker 2:And again, this is Picasso. I can paint and I will paint the person. The person Dame el zapato y yo pintaré a la persona.
Speaker 1:That's a good one.
Speaker 2:Famously said by Pablo Picasso. What do you think that means?
Speaker 1:I think the shoe shows your personality.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so he said you know, give me the shoe and I'll paint the person.
Speaker 1:What do those?
Speaker 2:shoes say about that. I'm crazy for trying to walk in them. Thank you everyone. Hope you enjoyed our love of shoes episode and looking forward to connecting with you for our next episode, cheers, which is gonna be all about the cocktail culture.
