MALINCHE
La Malinche, a Nahua woman from the Gulf Coast of Mexico, became known for contributing to the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, acting as an interpreter, advisor, and go-between for Hernán Cortés. That is why in Mexico it is not very loved... but at MEXAS we honor it with this model that -we believe- will be a top seller.
- We wanted to design a sandal with a Menorcan style rear grip and that is how the MOCTEZUMA models in black and MALINCHE in camel were born.
- This braiding is one of the most difficult and time-consuming to achieve, very few weavers know how to do it. That's why we have little stock!
- 100% handmade like all our MEXAS.
- Chemical free natural leather.
- Very light thanks to the"Microtech"sole with great durability and comfort.
- Exterior, sole and insole all in camel colour.
- Choose your usual size.
We recommend that you choose your usual size. If they are tight for the first few days, it is always better since, being made of skin, over time they end up giving way.
You can also consult our Size Guide where you will find the measurements of each model to be able to compare it with your foot.
Composition
Chemical free vegetable tanned cowhide.
Over time the skin of the MEXAS changes color, a sign that it is 100% natural. She gets old and "browns" just like us when the sun hits us :)
Care
You can clean them with a damp cloth, being careful not to get too wet as they darken.

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. Over time the skin of the MEXAS changes color, a sign that it is 100% natural.
They adapt to your foot
As they are made of leather, they give way and adapt to your foot and its shape. They are very soft and flexible.
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.
