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.
Ancient Mexican farmers invented Huaraches sandals hundreds of years ago. They were originally created as a way to protect farmers’ feet when they were outside tending to crops. The art of weaving leather strips together and attaching them to a leather sole made it to where farmers were able to work faster and more efficiently.
Over time, the sandals became popular not only as a functional shoe, but a fashionable piece of Mexican history that’s still worn throughout Mexico and the US today.
