POPA Review 2026: Is This Spanish Footwear Brand Worth It?

Short verdict: POPA is a Spanish footwear brand from Elche that sells boots, sandals, moccasins and other shoes, mostly for women, with prices that run from under 50 euros to around 180 euros. Shipping is quick inside Spain and Portugal but slower and pricier abroad, and returns come with some conditions, including a return cost in most cases. We rate it 3.6 out of 5.

How we wrote this review: we used the prices and policies published on popabrand.com, checked on 29 September 2026, plus the shipping and refund policy pages and the customer comments shown on the site itself. We have not ordered from POPA ourselves, so we cannot describe the fit, comfort or delivery speed first-hand. Independent Trustpilot data was not available when we checked, so we rely only on what the store itself publishes.

What is POPA?

POPA says on its FAQ page that it is a footwear brand born in Elche, Spain, in 2015, with a Mediterranean style. The catalogue is built around women's boots, ankle boots, sandals, wedges and moccasins, made with what the brand describes as natural materials. The site also lists a handful of non-footwear items, such as a beach cooler bag made together with Polarbox. POPA sells directly to shoppers through its own online store and ships across Spain, Portugal and several other European countries.

Products and prices

The table below shows a sample of products from the live shop, in euros, checked on 29 September 2026. Many items carry a lower one-time price next to a higher compare-at price, which suggests an ongoing sale rather than a fixed everyday price.

Product	Price (EUR)	List price (EUR)	What you get
Zapatilla Kira Tachas Negro	49.98	99.95	Studded trainer
Sandalia Daira Piel Cuero	58.47	89.95	Leather sandal
Cuña Meri Serraje Negro	59.96	79.95	Suede wedge
Mocasín Beige de Mujer Yao	79.95	-	Moccasin, beige
Botín Marrón de Mujer Unkle	110.00	-	Ankle boot, brown
Bota Negra de Mujer Takayama Flecos	139.95	-	Fringed boot, black
Botín Marrón de Mujer Santa Fe	179.00	-	Ankle boot, brown
Nevera de playa Polarbox x POPA	24.95	-	Beach cooler bag

Not every product shows a separate list price on the site, so it is not always possible to tell how much of a discount, if any, applies to a given pair of shoes.

Materials, sizing and care

POPA's FAQ page describes the shoes as made with natural materials and handcrafted processes, and it recommends cleaning them with a damp cloth and mild soap rather than a washing machine. On sizing, the brand says its shoes generally run true to size, but the fit can vary by model: some styles are suggested to be bought a half or full size up for wide feet or thicker socks. The FAQ also encourages shoppers to check the size guide and read the reviews on each product page before ordering, since fit can differ from one style to another.

Shipping

According to the shipping policy checked on 29 September 2026, delivery options and costs depend on the destination.

• Spain (mainland): home delivery for 3.95 euros in 1 to 3 business days with carrier ONTIME, or InPost pickup point for 2.95 euros in 2 to 3 business days.
• Spain and Portugal: free shipping on orders over 100 euros; a lower-cost shipping promotion may apply on orders from 30 euros, but only for mainland Spain and Portugal.
• Portugal: home delivery from 7.95 euros with SEUR, or InPost from 3.95 euros, both in 3 to 5 business days.
• Other destinations covered by the policy: home delivery from 10.95 euros in 2 to 5 business days with SEUR.
• Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy and the Netherlands: home delivery from 7.95 euros with FedEx, or InPost from 5.95 euros, in 3 to 5 business days.
• Other countries: home delivery from 12.95 euros with FedEx in 3 to 5 business days.

The policy also notes that deliveries do not happen on weekends, and that sale periods can add delays on top of the normal delivery times.

Returns and refunds

POPA gives shoppers 15 calendar days after receiving a package to start a return or a size exchange, through the brand's own return portal. The policy is clear that shoes showing signs of wear will not be accepted: an inspection happens when the package arrives, and if the shoes are not in as-new condition, the return is rejected and sent back to the customer without a refund. Return costs vary by method; some routes carry a fee of 2.95 euros, while size exchanges managed through the portal appear to have no extra return cost, though shoppers should confirm the cost shown for their own order before sending anything back. International returns and returns from the Canary Islands are handled separately, with the customer generally covering the postage unless stated otherwise. Shoppers who pay through SeQura get 14 days to request a return, refunded to the original payment method rather than as a gift card.

What customers say

Independent Trustpilot data for popabrand.com was not available when we checked on 29 September 2026, and the store's own database rating shows no reviews on file, so there is no third-party score to report here. The comments shown on the POPA homepage are positive: shoppers describe the boots and trainers as comfortable and well made, and several mention fast delivery and helpful customer service. A recurring theme in these comments is sizing: more than one shopper notes that certain styles run small and recommends ordering a size up, which matches what POPA itself says in its FAQ. Because these comments are chosen and published by the store, they should be read as a sample rather than a full picture of customer opinion.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Wide range of boots, sandals and moccasins at different price points.
• Free shipping over 100 euros for Spain and Portugal, with a fast 1 to 3 day option in mainland Spain.
• Clear sizing guidance from the brand, plus customer comments on fit for each style.
• A 15-day return and exchange window with a dedicated online return portal.

Cons

• No independent Trustpilot score was available at the time of checking, so outside reviews are hard to verify.
• Returns usually come with a shipping cost, and worn shoes are not accepted, so shoppers must try items on carefully at home.
• International shipping outside Spain and Portugal costs more and can take longer.
• Some products do not show a list price, making it harder to judge the size of any discount.

Who should buy POPA?

POPA can be a good choice for shoppers in Spain or Portugal who want leather or suede boots, sandals or moccasins and value quick, low-cost home delivery. It also suits shoppers who are comfortable using a returns portal and reading the size guide before choosing a size. It is a less good choice for shoppers outside Spain and Portugal who want free or very cheap shipping, or for anyone who wants to try shoes on and return them casually, since worn shoes are not accepted for a refund.

Tips before you order

• Read the size notes on the specific product page, since POPA says fit can vary between styles.
• Check whether your order qualifies for free shipping (orders over 100 euros to Spain or Portugal) before checkout.
• Try shoes on indoors, on a clean surface, in case you need to return or exchange them within the 15-day window.
• Keep your order confirmation email, since POPA asks for the order number for any return or exchange.
• If you are ordering from outside Spain or Portugal, check the shipping cost and delivery time for your country before you buy.

POPA offers a solid range of Spanish-made footwear with fast local delivery, though shoppers outside Spain and Portugal, and anyone who wants an easy no-cost return, should read the shipping and refund policies closely first.
