Men’s Huaraches sandals

Men’s Huaraches sandals have seen a resurgence in popularity in recent decades, but their history is hundreds of years old. Long before settlers arrived at the Mexican landmass, the Purépecha people of Michoacán were wearing Huaraches. In fact, the word “Huarache” is derived from the Purépecha word “kwarachi” which means “sandal” in English.

Though in the past, men’s leather Huaraches were worn for functional purposes, people throughout modern-day Mexico and the US wear them for their style, durability, and comfort.

What’s So Special About Men’s Mexican Huaraches?

Men’s Huaraches have a distinctive appearance and are durable, long-lasting sandals. Talented modern artisans imitate the ancient method of weaving leather strips together, which results in a shoe with a unique fit that adapts to the wearer’s foot over time.

Because of the woven leather design, Huaraches are comfortable and can be worn without socks even during warm weather. Huaraches sandals move with the wearer’s foot to constantly keep air circulating, which prevents both sweaty feet and odor from developing.

On top of the style and convenience of wearing Mexican Huaraches men’s shoes, wearers can appreciate and celebrate the long history behind their chosen footwear.

Due to the fact that the construction of Huaraches sandals has remained practically the same for centuries, individuals who wear them are protecting their feet from the elements in the same method that ancient farmers did in early Mexico.

The history

It’s important to respect the long history of the Huarache sandal when shopping for a pair. As such, it’s a better, more respectful idea to purchase shoes that are hand-made by artisans rather than mass-produced in a factory. Admiring the rich cultural significance of Huarache sandals is better done when buying them from an authentic source.

Traditional Huarache sandals are hand-made from woven leather strips, so if wearers are seeking authentic shoes, it’s important to purchase hand-made women’s Huarache flats.

The materials

It’s probably easy to find cheap women’s Huaraches online or at a physical store. However, it’s important to remember that cheap does not mean good. Huarache sandals made by hand from high quality, natural materials are going to last much longer than synthetic material used in mass production.

The style

Despite being sandals, Huarache shoes are versatile and come in a variety of different styles. Wearers should consider the main function that the shoes will serve before choosing a style. For example, if the wearer needs to wear closed-toe shoes at work, Maya-style, gladiators, mules, Baja-style, boots, or fisherman-style Huaraches would be a great choice.

Disadvantages of Huarache Sandals

Each pair of Brand X’s Huaraches sandals for men are composed of high-quality leather strips, they’re designed to last much longer than those of competing brands. When authentic Huaraches sandals are properly maintained, they pay for themselves in no time.

Though our genuine leather shoes are of the highest quality, there are a few factors to take into consideration before choosing a pair of sandals. Though these factors are manageable, some wearers may consider them to be disadvantages.

  • The stiffness. Leather can be stiff to wear at first, and because new Huaraches men’s sandals are made out of genuine leather, they need to be “broken in” before the leather softens to form to the foot.
  • The care. Huaraches sandals are easy to maintain, but wearers should avoid exposing their sandals to water. Prolonged exposure to water may weaken the leather.
  • The price. Genuine leather Huarache sandals are meant to be affordable based on the predicted life of the shoe. They’re authentic and hand-made, which means they will outlast cheaper look-alike synthetic shoes.
