PAPALOTE
A papalote is what in Europe we commonly know as a kite. The word papalote comes from the Nahuatl “papalotl” which means “butterfly”.
- Choose your usual size.
- It's an explosion of colors. What we need this 2022! and that is why it has been top sales this summer.
- The braid looks good on any type of foot.
- The colors may vary slightly in each production as it depends on the amount of vegetable dye used.
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.
Composition
Chemical-free vegetable-tanned cowhide. Over time the leather of the MEXAS changes color, a sign that it is 100% natural. That is why they get darker just like we do when the sun hits on us :)
Care
You can clean them with a damp cloth, being careful not to get too wet as they darken.
