CHILAQUILÓN (Transition)
*Sizes marked as PREORDER will ship from 15/05. If the button says “Add to cart”, it means the size is in stock.
The CHILAQUILÓN is our take on a comfy, flexible fisherman-style sandal with extra room.
Designed as a transition shoe toward barefoot, it combines style, space and comfort — giving your feet room to breathe, without sacrificing support.
-
Crafted on our NOPAL last, which is wider than the ones used for our AZTECA and MAYA BAREFOOT models, this sandal offers more freedom for your toes while respecting the natural shape of the foot.
-
IMPORTANT: This is not a pure barefoot shoe, as it has a slight drop (heel higher than the front), but it’s still a much more respectful and flexible alternative to conventional footwear.

📏 Check the third photo for the exact measurements of the last.
We recommend measuring your foot and leaving 0.5 cm of extra space for comfort.
Keep in mind: as they're made of leather, they’ll gradually mold to your foot. -

We recommend that you choose your usual size. If they fit tight the first few days it is always better since, being made of leather, they will eventually adapt to your fit.
You can also consult our Sizing Guide where you will find the measurements of each model to compare it with your foot.
Origin
Huaraches are a traditional Mexican shoe, and at MEXAS, we honor this heritage by using only raw materials sourced from Mexico. We work hand in hand with different workshops to design new models, exploring color combinations and developments that keep this beautiful tradition alive for longer.
Composition
Vegetable-tanned cowhide leather* except for pastel-colored models.
Care
You can clean them with a damp cloth, being careful not to get them too wet as they may darken.
Our warehouse is in Madrid and is open from Monday to Friday. All orders placed before 3:00 p.m. are shipped on the same day.
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 free of chemicals. MEXAS are suitable for those with chrome allergies.
They adapt to your fit
Since they are made of leather, they gradually stretch and adapt to your foot shape. They are very lightweight, flexible, and breathable, thanks to their signature woven design.
Social impact
We donate part of the profit from each sale to an NGO called "Mujeres Aliadas", located in Michoacán, the region where we produce our shoes.
