THE HUARACHES

Tradition with more than 500 years of history

    The origin of the huarache dates back to the pre-Columbian period when they were still made of cotton. With the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico, they were perfected by making leather strips, and this is the way they are still made today. From MEXAS, we want to maintain this tradition and add a unique design with colors and braiding adapted to the European style.

    Benefits of the huaraches

    One of the great advantages of handmade leather shoes is that after a while using them they adapt to your foot and your footprint. Being a natural material, it is porous and flexible, making the foot breathe and adjust. They are very comfortable for day to day. Learn more about the raw material in thematerials section.

    • When used, as with any leather shoe, wrinkles will form on the surface, a sign that they have adapted to the foot.
    • With the passage of time, the skin ages and in the case of the huaraches, the colors change in hue, usually they become a little darker in color.
    • The huaraches are not produced in series, they are 100% handmade, so each pair is unique, no two are ever the same. We review each pair and go through quality controls, but we are human and we may miss some detail. If this happens, check out ourexchange policy so that we can evaluate your case :)

     

    How to take care of your huaraches

    These are the advice of our artisans and artisans:

    • We recommend not placing them in the sun (or a radiator) as this can cause discoloration or cracks in the skin
    • Use an appropriate brush to remove dirt
    • If you have stubborn stains you can clean them with a soft cloth with soap and water, ideally with 100% natural pumpkin soap
    • Every now and then, apply clear cream or natural wax to nourish and protect
