Women’s Casual Sandals Pikolinos Roquetas W9B-0789 — Braided Leather Sandals with Lightweight Wedge in Brandy
The Pikolinos Roquetas W9B-0789 in Brandy is the kind of summer sandal that gets the important things right without adding anything unnecessary. Braided leather straps across the forefoot provide genuine support and a visible handcrafted finish, while the central T-bar rises to a warm gold buckle fastening at the ankle. The lightweight cream-and-brandy outsole and cushioned leather footbed complete a sandal designed for everyday comfort without compromising style.
This Roquetas belongs to the long-standing Pikolinos family known for the same formula season after season: premium Spanish leather, artisan construction, leather-lined comfort and a footbed that adapts naturally over time. The W9B-0789 is the braided version within the Roquetas collection, giving it a more natural and crafted look than the plain-strap alternatives.
The Brandy shade — a warm caramel brown that sits perfectly between light tan and dark cognac — is the most versatile colour in the range. It works effortlessly with neutral linen, denim, earthy tones or brighter summer outfits without feeling overly coordinated. The two-tone sole — visible cream midsole with a matching brandy outsole — reinforces the warm palette while adding subtle visual contrast.
Leather upper, leather lining and leather footbed, rubber outsole, adjustable buckle fastening with elasticated insert at the ankle. Made in Spain. Leather Working Group certified. ISO 14006 and ISO 14001 certified.
Available at Calzados Vesga online and in-store at Plaza Mayor, Burgos.

The Roquetas collection is Pikolinos’ casual leather sandal range built around a lightweight integrated wedge. While the Puerto Vallarta family is recognised for floral cut-out detailing, the Roquetas stands out through its braided leather craftsmanship — a more textured, relaxed and naturally styled alternative.
The W9B-0789 is the braided buckle-fastening version within the family and arguably the most artisan-inspired model in the range. The combination of braided leather, warm gold buckle and two-tone sole gives the sandal personality without feeling overdesigned.
BRAIDED LEATHER FOREFOOT: CRAFTSMANSHIP YOU CAN SEE
The forefoot straps on the Roquetas W9B-0789 are not simple flat bands. The leather is braided and interwoven in a construction that requires more craftsmanship than standard sandals.
Visually:
The braided finish creates texture and tonal depth. Light hits the woven leather differently throughout the day, giving the sandal more dimension than smooth leather straps.
Functionally:
The braided construction distributes pressure more evenly across the forefoot, improving lateral support and reducing unwanted movement while walking.
FULL LEATHER CONSTRUCTION
The W9B-0789 uses leather where it matters most: upper, lining and footbed.
That means the sandal gradually adapts to your foot shape rather than forcing your foot to adapt to the sandal. The leather insole softens with body heat and wear, becoming noticeably more comfortable over time.
For anyone tired of rigid synthetic footbeds, this is the difference you feel at the end of a long summer day.
THE TWO-TONE SOLE
The sole combines a cream midsole with a warm brandy outsole that ties naturally into the upper leather colour.
This subtle contrast gives the sandal more visual interest than a monochrome sole while visually lightening the profile of the shoe.
The rubber outsole delivers the traction and flexibility needed for everyday city wear. While not the lightest sole in the Pikolinos collection, it remains highly comfortable for extended daily use.
FASTENING: BUCKLE + ELASTIC INSERT
The Roquetas combines two fastening systems:
- Adjustable gold buckle for precise ankle fit
- Elastic insert for natural flexibility during movement and heat expansion
This combination makes the sandal more adaptable across different foot shapes than sandals using only buckles or only elastic.
HOW TO STYLE THE BRANDY COLOUR
- White and off-white: clean summer contrast
- Natural linen: warm earthy styling
- Denim in any wash: classic relaxed combination
- Olive green and khaki: naturally complementary warm neutrals
- Terracotta and toasted tones: tonal summer palette
- Floral prints: brandy works as a grounding neutral
Less compatible with:
Cool pinks, electric blues and saturated purples. For those palettes, the black or ice colourways within the Roquetas collection may suit better.
BUYING CONCERNS
“Will the braided straps feel uncomfortable?”
The leather braiding is soft and well-finished with no rough edges. Like most quality leather sandals, they may require one or two wears to soften fully before adapting naturally to the foot.
“Will the gold buckle wear over time?”
The buckle uses treated metal designed for regular use. Minor tonal changes may happen naturally over time, but the warm gold finish ages better visually than high-shine metallic finishes.
“Is a 3 cm wedge too much for an everyday sandal?”
No. The wedge profile remains very subtle and provides slightly better posture support than a completely flat sole, reducing fatigue during long days.
MAY NOT BE IDEAL IF:
- You need waterproof sandals
- You want full heel coverage
- You prefer dressier occasion sandals
IDEAL IF:
- You want quality leather summer sandals
- You like visible artisan detailing
- Comfort and leather footbeds matter to you
- You want sandals that improve with wear

SIZE GUIDE
The Roquetas W9B-0789 fits true to size. Order your usual size.
Between sizes?

For wide feet:
Please contact us before ordering. The braided forefoot section has a defined width that may feel snug on very wide feet.
FAQ
Does the Roquetas W9B-0789 fit true to size?
Yes. Standard fit. Order your usual size. If between sizes, choose the larger one.
Does the braided leather soften quickly?
Yes. The leather is naturally soft from first wear, although the braided section may need one or two wears to settle fully.
What’s the difference between the Roquetas and Puerto Vallarta?
Puerto Vallarta focuses on floral perforated leather and a more pronounced wedge with visible stitching. The Roquetas offers braided straps, a more relaxed urban feel and a two-tone sole.
How do I care for the brandy leather?
Use neutral leather cream and a soft slightly damp cloth for small marks. Condition before storing at the end of the season.
Can the sandals get wet?
Occasional moisture is fine, but the leather is not waterproof-treated. Allow them to air dry naturally and moisturise the leather afterwards if needed.

COMMERCIAL CLOSING
The Pikolinos Roquetas W9B-0789 in Brandy is the kind of sandal that speaks for itself. The braided leather does the talking visually. The leather footbed quietly takes care of the comfort. Four decades of Spanish shoemaking result in a sandal that still looks good long after many others are gone.
