PALENQUE (Transition)
PALENQUE — Handmade lightness that hugs your foot
- Looking for something different? PALENQUE is not your classic mule or a rigid clog. It brings the best of both: a handwoven front, open back, and a buckle ankle strap. Light, secure, and full of character — perfect for those who love handmade simplicity.
- Made with our NOPAL last: anatomical, flexible, and spacious. Same fit as CHILAQUILÓN and NOPAL. Great if you know those or want a closed-up version with a firm hold.
- IMPORTANT: This model isn’t ideal for slim ankles, as the back strap might slip. If you have stronger or wider ankles, PALENQUE will be a great match

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.
