Latest Fashion & History of the Traditional Huaraches

A bit different from the torturous ‘chancla’ we all once feared, the huaraches are an essential piece to Mexico’s fashion and most importantly, their culture. And no, we aren’t talking about the well-known huarache you can snack on nor the popular Nike sneakers…

Mostly common and started by farmworkers, this symbolic footwear is usually hand-made with woven leather pieces, tire for the sole, and nails to hold it all together—simple yet durable and delicate!

As it has populated throughout the years, the traditional huarache has become part of the latest fashion trend and we have a variety of options to choose from!

Take a look for yourselves.
