NOPAL
fit: medium
The nopal is a cactus, a symbol of origin and resilience, even present on the Mexican flag.
This model is inspired by its ability to protect and support, with a design that gently holds the foot and provides comfort and security with every step.
-
The NOPAL sandal has a more enclosed silhouette—perfect if you’re looking for a respectful, flexible shoe with a refined design. Its braided closed front hugs the foot gently without squeezing, combining comfort and style. Ideal for those transitioning into the barefoot world, while still enjoying a slight drop for support.
It features our NOPAL last: anatomical, flexible, and roomy. It’s the same used in the CHILAQUILÓN model, making it a great choice if you already know that fit or prefer something more covered.
-
IMPORTANT: This is not a true barefoot shoe (it has a slight drop), but it’s an excellent option if you want a wider fit, beautiful design and all-day comfort.
-
📏 See the third photo for exact last measurements. We recommend measuring your foot and allowing 0.5 cm of extra room for comfort. The leather will soften and mold to your shape over time.

Four curiosities about MEXAS
100% handmade
Our huaraches are 100% handmade in Mexico following a traditional process with more than 500 years of history.
Chemical free natural leather
The leather we use is vegetable-tanned and chemical-free. MEXAS shoes are suitable for people with chromium allergies.
They adapt to your foot
Because they're made of leather, they stretch and adapt to your foot and its shape. They're very lightweight, flexible, and breathable thanks to their distinctive braided design.
Social impact
We donate part of the profit from each sale to an NGO called "Mujeres Aliadas" that is in Michoacán, the area where we produce.
