On some occasion you may have wondered how these four types of footwear are different, so we thought of telling you about them in this post: Differences between ballerinas, merceditas, manoletinas and francesitas. These four concepts They are very common and cover very similar types of footwear. There are small differences that, as a curiosity We are going to comment, for example, that between ballet flats and ballet flats the difference is that the thickness of the sole of the ballet flats is a little thicker than in the case of ballet flats. Therefore, in most cases both types of footwear are usually called ballerinas, whose name has its origins in classical ballet, a source of inspiration in the design of this footwear.
The origin of the name ballet flats It alludes to the famous Spanish bullfighter Manolete, who used this type of footwear when he jumped into the ring. It is curious that despite having a masculine nature, these shoes They will become part of the women's range, also with a huge range of models and styles. For their part, the merceditas They have a more noticeable difference compared to ballerinas or ballet flats, which is their closure system, whether with a buckle, a button, velcro, etc. The merceditas They are more focused on the little ones in the house, although there are also models for larger girls or women. By the way, as we saw in the previous post, its name originates from Queen María de las Mercedes of Orleans, popularly known as Merceditas. As for the Frenchies, we can affirm that they would be ballerina or ballet flat models that incorporate a bow on the front, which makes them a special range.
