MALINCHE
La Malinche, a Nahua woman from the Gulf Coast of Mexico, became known for her role in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, serving as an interpreter, advisor, and intermediary to Hernán Cortés.
- We wanted to design a sandal with a back strap in the style of a menorquina, and that’s how the MOCTEZUMA in black and MALINCHE in camel came to be.
- This weaving is one of the most difficult and time-consuming to achieve, and very few weavers know how to do it. That’s why we have limited stock!
- 100% handmade, just like all our MEXAS.
- Natural leather, free of chemicals.
- Microtech sole: made of an advanced synthetic material, designed to be lightweight, flexible, and durable. It offers great comfort while walking, adapting to your movements to give you more freedom without sacrificing resistance. Ideal for those seeking a functional and lightweight sole.
- Choose your usual size.
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 chemical-free. Over time the MEXAS leather gets darker, a sign that it is 100% natural.
They adapt to your fit
As they are 100% leather they will adapt to your feet shape.
Social impact
Part of the profit from each sale is donated to a NGO called "Mujeres Aliadas" who help indigenous women in the area we produce.
