Why the Ava Sandal Was Chosen by GLAMOUR as a New Year Wardrobe Essential

The start of a new year is a chance to rethink what we bring into our closets and into our lives. More than trends, we are looking for pieces that feel timeless, intentional, and effortless. Even in the heart of winter, many of us are already dreaming of warmer days ahead and beginning to plan for spring and summer escapes.

That is why we were honored to see our Ava Sandals included in GLAMOUR’s New Year fashion edit, “11 pieces our fashion team are adding to their New Year wardrobes.” Read article here. 

A sandal that travels beautifully

One of the things our community tells us again and again is that Ava is not just a pretty sandal. It is the one they actually live in. We have worn Ava everywhere from Mexico to Portugal to Hawaii and everywhere in between and they never fail to deliver. They are best sellers for a reason and their slim, lightweight design means they are perfectly packable. 

Customers say it best.

“I love these shoes. The leather is soft which makes them so comfortable to walk in all day. The leather is high quality and lasts even after regular use. These are my third pair.”

“Love the soft leather. No blisters here.”

“They are chic enough for dinner but comfortable enough to wear all day. I pack them on every trip.”

Designed for real life

Ava was created for women who want their shoes to feel as good as they look. Crafted from buttery soft leather and finished with cushioned memory foam insoles, they offer true all day comfort with no break in period. The fit is supportive yet flexible so you can walk for hours without thinking about your feet.

Every pair is designed in California and handcrafted in Portugal by skilled artisans who have been making shoes for generations. We produce in small batches using responsibly sourced materials so each sandal reflects our commitment to quality and care.

Why GLAMOUR chose Ava

GLAMOUR’s New Year edit celebrates pieces that feel fresh and modern while still standing the test of time. Ava fits that philosophy perfectly. It is understated yet elevated, simple yet special, and designed to be worn again and again.

In a season that invites us to slow down and choose more intentionally, Ava offers a kind of quiet luxury that feels just as right for spring and summer as it does now.

A softer way of dressing

At Joyasol, we believe in fewer better pieces that support the way you actually live. Ava was created with that idea at its heart and we are proud to see it recognized by GLAMOUR as a wardrobe essential for the year ahead.
