  1. This is my second guide on clothing, this time on spanish shoe brands. There are many that produce in Spain, and which generally offer a good quality at an affordable price, but in english speaking forums is hard to see any mentioned with the exceptions of Meermin and Carmina. The guide is ordered by price from low to high, there are separation lines to divide price ranges, until the first one you have brands for less than 100€, before the second one you have medium tier shoes (100-220€) and after it the higher end stuff, comments are based on personal experience and comments found online, some brands might not sell outside of Spain through their website, but you might purchase if you contact them. If you are ordering online, the best thing is to measure your feet and contact them with those measures and also give them other references so they can advise you what size to pick.
