Queen Letizia paid a visit to Plaza Mayor and the center of Palma de Mallorca in Spain on Tuesday afternoon in a pair of flat strappy sandals . The royal’s tan shoes were comfortably constructed in a strappy upper consisting of a singular strap around her big toe and multiple straps across her mid-foot that connected to an ankle strap which locked her foot in place.

Also featuring a slightly padded footbed, Queen Letizia’s sandals were completed by a rubber outsole, which allowed her the comfort and durability necessary to walk around all day. She paired her sandals with a pink floral sundress, accessorizing her look with a crochet bag and sunglasses.

Queen Sofia, Crown Princess Leonor of Spain and Princess Sofia were also alongside her and wore notable footwear looks as well. Princess Sofia donned a pair of closed-toe flat wedges which consisted of a smooth brown canvas upper and flat wedge outsole. A matching brown canvas buckle held her foot for security, with the royal teaming her shoes with a flowy high-waisted white skirt and black crop top.

Queen Sofia also opted for a pair of closed-toe wedges for the occasion. Her shoes consisted of a dark blue upper that had two straps crossing along the mid-foot, and an elevated wedge measuring close to 2 inches in height. Rounding out her look was a pair of white capris, a long-sleeved blue shirt and a small black bag.

Crown Princess Leonor of Spain followed the wedge trend in a pair of elevated wedges that were similar to both Queen and Princess Sofia’s shoes in terms of their design. The set featured a white canvas upper and a matching ribbon tie in place of a buckle. Princess Leonor donned white joggers and a potted halter top to go along with her shoes.

Strappy sandals are a footwear style that has been around for decades. Open-toe, closed-toe and peep-toe designs are some of the forms the shoe comes in, with many brands such as Stuart Weitzman, Chanel, Gucci and more offering different variations of them.
